Lost in translation, did you watch the movie? Couple of days ago I watched a movie "Lost in translation" that features young Scarlett Johaneson and Bill Murray. I was home alone, and I had nothing better to do, so I started looking for some movie and I picked this one, cause it is highly rated on IMDB and the title is catchy. The plot is simple. Two main actors find themselves in Japan, from different reasons each. They are both bored to death, and they feel pretty much lost in general. What astonished me the most is the fine description of being in the foreign country without knowing the language and not having much to do there. The Japanese mentality is presented without much sympathy. They are strange, weird, somehow it is difficult to correlate with anything they do. It reminds me of some experience I had in Italy. The humor is different, the mentality and the ways of living makes you feel you are new born baby but an adult, which makes more a weirdo. Actually you can easily feel swept aside and excluded from social life.
