Lost in Translation
husband is a very busy man, what do they have in common? Nothing. Now put these two in Japan, and what do
they have in common? Loneliness. But that�s the beauty of their relationship, they don't even know each other, yet their loneliness brings them together at their fortuitous meeting in their absurd hotel bar.
Japanese hosts. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson do an excellent job of portraying two, tired Americans living without love, and visiting a foreign place and doing exactly what the title says, becoming lost in translation. From the prostitute who comes to entertain Murray in his hotel room, to the video shoot, his glazed, confused look makes you laugh so hard, tears begin to roll. Johansson supplements the movie with balance, adds a type of seriousness that relieves the cramps before the next laugh. She is almost always involved in the silent scenes portraying loneliness as she sits upon her ledge overlooking the view of
Tokyo, in her underwear and a T-shirt.
