Revealing the main theme of the movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2005)

the movie lost in translation is trying to pin point more on your soul mate...as you see in the movie Charolette listens to the CD that talks mainly on the point of soul mates and later, we find out that Bob Harris has the same CD...same thing that they seem to both be missing. As Bob Harris realizes Charolette has the same CD as him, she asks him "did it work for you?" and he responds "obviously"...
Its more than just moping around all the time its about feeling something that is missing inside. Thats why Charolette is unhappy with her husband who is always blowing her off, and why Bob Harris seems uncomfortable or unsure of his wife.
It may be a boring movie but if you put yourself in a time where you have ever felt empty, but found someone that seemed as close to the definition of 'soul mate' can get, then by the end it will be a bittersweet realization, rather than just another movie.
