Just Lose Yourself

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2006)

What a wonderful simple movie it is ! .. Sophia Coppola deserved the Oscar for the best original screenplay.
The movie is a comedy or romantic comedy if I may say .. two persons who live in on of the most closed societies in the world .. they had no choice but to spend sometime together in a middle of a city where they feel they are total strangers .. they are having difficulties living among a very different society and because they do not speak any Japanese they feel somehow misplaced or isolated at least .. so, they are destined to meet each other.
This is probably the best movie in 2003 ..
Bill Murray gave a wonderful performance .. possibly his best ever. Scarlet Johansson is amazing .. she keep choosing her roles carefully and it is amazing that she didn't go after Hollywood's crappy movies like many others in her age do.
Directing is good by Sophia who lived a couple of years in Japan .. so, she knew how to carry out these feelings on the script 1st and then into the big screen.
This movie is so smooth that you will have no choice but to lose yourself and get lost in its sweetness and beauty.
