Lost in translation For prepare an exam I wrote an analysis of the film Lost in translation on the theme "Cultural identities through travelling". abstract: Two american, Bob Harris, an actor and Charlotte meet themself in a big hotel in Japan. They are alone and the strangeness of this culture bring them closer. Neitherless their age difference, they feel close. Closer than with their family or other people around them. My own sensation when I saw the film was the difference of culture revealed new aspirations for life of the characters. During some movie scene, when Bob Harris or Charlotte were alone, they question them, the past for Bob, the futur for Charlotte. But the problem is the same: what is they own path ? Bob is married since twenty years and have children but when his wife call him about the decoration of his desk he looks somewhere else. This materiel thing doesn't interrested him. He forgets the events family and say yes to his wife whatever the issue. For Charlotte, she questions herself about her futur with his new graduate in philosophy. She's married since two years but the passion is down. Her husband works a lot, meet people who are no interesting for her. For example he presents herself a girl who is annoying, who is laughing every time about every thing. But for him this person is lovely. And he reproached her this intellectual attitude. The distance between each other increase. The japanese culture is so different for them. Outside the hotel, few people speaks English. All the signs are in Japanese. The TV shows or the leisure seems so strange for them. Without anything to hang on, they are alone to have good time. At first it's the meeting of two mind which understand each other. A last, starts a physical attraction. But they are married and there is thirty years between them.
