Lost in Translation

Sofia Coppla's move Lost in Translation gave an insight into two characters lives in which they struggled to find the true meaning behind what they were doing and figuring out what their future would be like. I believe throughout the film, it turns into somewhat of a Lost and Found.

In the beginning of the movie, we are presented with two characters; Charlotte and Bob. Bob is in Japan working on a job in the filming business and Charlotte is tagging along with her husband of two years. After many encounters with the Japanese that cause confusion, Bob becomes a little irritated with his job and what he is doing in Japan. Charlotte cant sleep at night and stays up till the early morning thinking about what will happen next. Both characters were lost in their own world; however, through small encounters and eventually a night out on the town, the two worlds collide. It  was almost like they had found out they were not the only people struggling. It was like a Lost and Found.

Lost in Translation is somewhat of an unknown genre with a mix of comedy, romance, and drama. The two characters who struggled with their futures and where their lives laid, found each other. Lost in Translation turned into Lost and Found.
