Why lost in Translation?

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2004)

I've seen this movie and thought about it for more than a day. The story is simple, characters are used more than once before, but it still has much more to say about life, marriage and human beings.
Before I saw it, I wondered why the name is LOST IN TRANSLATION, but after, everything cleared out. The long and complex Japanese language, loses its meaning and becomes dull when translated into English. Just like, human emotions loses their importance, and real necessity when tried to be translated by using so much unnecessary words.
After only 2 years of marriage, there's little concern for the other, but the glance of two strangers are far more meaningful than all the other words..
Finally, this is not just a drama, for those who hasn't seen it. Not typical Murray kind jokes maybe but, has a lot points to make you smile (while crying of course :D) Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanson gives two brilliant performances, and this is a must for every movie lover.
