Lost in Translation

jazz_police has posted what he thought of this film so I guess I should chip in my thoughts too.

I liked it. I was kind of just coasting along for most of the time until it got to this great scene where Charlotte and Bob are lying on the bed just talking. She asks him if life gets any easier and talks about how she has no idea what she wants to do. She's tried writing and photography (apparently every girl goes through a photography phase) but she's not happy with what she's done. All of a sudden I sit up and start paying attention. THAT'S ME. The film seemed so much more to me after that. I find I enjoy a film more if I can relate to the characters in some way and that one small scene did it for me.

Also, Tokyo looks scary. I never want to go there
