found truth in lost in translation

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2004)

I have seen the movie and was moved by it. I just thought that at some point in our lives, we all experience what Bill and Scarlett had - having unusual friendships and finding momentary comfort in some strange situation and place.
Sofia was great in showing that some people do come in our lives only for a season. No matter how good the relationship we have with them, it has to end in some way. And there is nothing we can do but let go of it. They only come to provide answers and help us have a deeper understanding of ourselves. Oftentimes, they go out of our lives the moment they come in.
Every scene has the right mix of human emotions and reactions. The actors were superb in giving justice to their roles. You can feel the intensity of their acting. Simple yet true.
My favorite scene in the movie was when Bill and Scarlett were on bed and having a very good talk. And Bill Murray's line went something like, "It is only when you truly know yourself that things will not disappoint you!"
Lastly, there is so much sadness in the movie but you would not want it to happen the other way.
