I too was lost......

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2005)

This movie brought back vivid memories when I visited Tokyo in Oct, 83. I was a young Submariner, 21 years old and everything I experienced there seemed wonderful and unreal. I walked around the entire city all day and night taking in the aura of it all. At the same time I felt "lost" as well because I could not communicate with these people. I walked around all day saying "hi" to everyone only to find out later that this word to a Japanese translates to yes!!! So can you imagine their reaction to a young American uttering this!
Anyway, the movie is absolutely wonderful. The actors are top-rate, I have been a Bill Murray fan since his SNL days and this young actress, Scarlett Johannson is quite the comer, look for her to win a few Oscars herself. The music was very moving, especially the bit while Scarlett is staring out the window of her room at the Tokyo skyline. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and I very highly recommend a trip to the wonderful country of Japan, for nowhere in all my travels have I met a more courteous, respectful people.
