This movie, which barely beat my favorite In America (2002) for Best Original Screenplay,which is also a disappointing title.
In 2014, I had a roughly similar experience, so this movie is definitely in my top 10. However, at that time, she and I were singles, so it wasn't an affair. However, there is an opinion that the two people depicted in this film are both married, and they were having an affair ( ? ) psychologically in terms of sharing their hearts . However, these should be viewed as comforting each other rather than an affair. You can often see throughout the film how they each protect their own territory based on respect for each other . In the process, we don't push each other too much to protect each area, or hurt the other person's heart with the occasional feeling of affection or love .
It's also really nice to see the two of them roaming the streets of Tokyo . Even in a foreign country, in Japan, which is so different from the US, it's a dream-like time to have free time just for the two of us without caring about anyone!
The sense of alienation that I felt when I first came to Seoul for the first time in almost 20 years, ten years ago, is deeply felt through the two characters in this film. The meeting of two people who endure the extreme loneliness in a very ambiguous space called a hotel and a society with a completely different cultural background. Oh, I love this movie so much.
The last scene is very sad. Even Sofia Coppola, who directed and wrote the film, doesn't know what Bob Harris (Bill Murray) said to Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson). It was improvising for the lead actor, Bill Murray. What kind of conversation did you have? What thoughts and feelings would a 52-year-old man say to a 25-year-old woman? Although the amount of dialogue is very small, there is enough dialogue through the eyes and gestures between the actors.
There are quite a few famous lines, but here are my picks:
"Wasn't there anyone else there to lavish you with attention?"
