The first time I saw "Lost In Translation," I found it to be dull, pointless, and rather alienating. However, after having watched it again a few more times thereafter, I finally saw the immense beauty of the film. Bob Harris and Charlotte, the main characters of the film, are in search of meaning...of a translation. They want to know what their lives translate to...what their purpose is. As the two find themselves hopelessly lost in their search, they discover each other. They find out that sometimes there is no certain definition to life and that those who try to define it find themselves losing its essential meaning. I think that's the beauty of this film...the message that so much is lost through translation...so much of the real things in life are overlooked in the process of trying to understand them.
It will make you gasp, laugh, cry, scream, sing, and love. This is the greatest comedic love story I've ever seen on the silver screen. You will never forget this movie, from its playful beginning to its OMG-what-just-happened ending. For those of you who don't speak French, you do not need subtitles to understand the beauty, the depth, and the tragically hilarious love affair of Julien and Sophie. The movie will take you to every extreme of human emotion and leave you completely breathless with its UNBELIEVABLE ending. I was so entranced by the film that I sat there through the entire end credits, hoping for just a little more. This is a movie you cannot miss...it is one of the greatest films to be made in France. Watch it....I dare you. Are you game or not?
