not for the ignorant.

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

I've read several reviews that bash this film due to its "lack" or "bore." These viewers, put simply, don't know a good film when they see one. Do the community a favor and stick to your tasteless action films and fairytale adventure stories.
The best films are the ones you can relate to. One's you can reflect on during and after your viewing of it. This film poses one central question? Where am I...? Between the young Charlotte, a career-less philosophy major, and Bob Harris, an esteemed actor who's seen it all, there is a connection and friendship that surpasses the trivial travails of life. I think most people (who get the movie) would have to ask themselves: Then what? So, I've gone to school, gotten a job, gotten married, had kids,...then what? Where am I? What am I doing?
Being Lost is not a fun thing. But hopefully those who find themselves, sooner or later, will be better off in the end.
Btw...if you still haven't figured it out. This film is not about Japan! It just happens to be the current place in time. Let it go. I'm sure the city's wonderful. But it's not about that.
