What is the message?

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2003)

What is the message of the movie? I think the movie is commenting on communication breakdown. THe Americans can't communicate with the Japanese. Neither Bob or Charlotte can communicate with their spouses. Bob and Charlotte have a communication breakdown at the end, but then he finds her and says something that clarifies everything. It's about overcoming communication barriers, about clarifying those things that get lost in translation...
