Sometimes, you walk out smiling.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2004)

I walked out of this movie not thinking about any particular line or any particular scene, but with a blankness of mind and a stupid smile on my face.
I got into my car, turned the stereo up and enjoyed an old CD just a bit more than I did on the drive over. I simply accepted it, not questioning why the music was good or whether it was perfect or whether the follow-up album was better. It just was what it was, and I was spending some time with it.
Which is the peace of mind that I think the characters in Lost in Translation ended up having: Life is not perfect. What's coming may not be better. It doesn't matter. Just go with it. Smile. Love.
I can only imagine what Bob said to Charlotte in that last scene.
What a film.
