Being found and lost again!!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2004)

I would say this is a beautiful, sad, and could-be-love story. Two people got dragged into this bewildered foreign city, Tokyo. Neither of them came here by their own choices; neither of them could adapt to this different culture and language. And there was no energy, no feelings, no interests, and no moods to experience and appreciate what happened around them. These two people not only lost in translation; they are also lost at their hearts!!!
The brief encounter made them found each other and by finding each other, they themselves are also being found. Despite of the gender, and the age differences, they still can share, understand, feel and comprehend each other's thoughts, feelings and even dreams. This sense of identifying, belonging and bounding made them fell for each other. You'll have to admit that even while you are at home, it's just not easy to find someone who can share the same things with you. And because of this slight chance of finding one another, their differences and their being in a foreign country, made them cherish their hard-to-find relationship even more!!! And this could of course develop love between them. But can this vague love last long??? Is this real Love??? I highly doubt it!!! Because love requires too many things that Bob and Charlotte don't have. However, it's always safe to say ¡§Lost in Translation¡¨ is a beautiful romantic movie!!!!
This film bought me back to the Unite States, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, and Spain. Though unlike Bob and Charlotte, I was in these foreign places by my own decisions, these places are still foreign me. Besides that I was in most of these places alone; I can feel and understand how and what they feel being lonely outsiders. I know what it felt like when one minute you meet someone great but the next minute you two have to go separate ways. Life is just like this: people come and go for whatever reasons!!! "Lost in Translation" can speak to you and touch your heart because it's just that real and it happens to everyone, everyday, in any places.
