This movie was so moving...

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2003)

I saw this movie after returning from a trip to Europe. It was perfect timing for me. Going to another country and being immersed in such a different culture for a period of time really changes you. The idea being brought across in this movie of being "lost" is presented perfectly. When everything that you are used to in a daily routine is missing, all you have left is you. Sometimes we don't even know who that person is, until you have to stare at yourself and figure it out. When Bob is talking to his wife on the phone in the tub, and she is rambling about daily stuff, he realizes that they cannot even relate. He tells her he is lost, and he sounds so scared, because he knows that not even the woman he married can understand him. He needs Charlotte in a way that he doesn't even understand. The innocent way that Charlotte and Bob found love was so simple and pure. The music, the simple dialogue, and the direction were all so perfect. I have to see this movie again.
