"Everyone wants to be found"

Watch this movie. Just do it. There's no way to describe the plot because there isn't really one. Though that doesn't mean that Lost In Translation is meaningless. Take one middle-aged, washed-up movie actor (Bill Murray) and one recent university graduate (Scarlett Johansson), plunk them in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world (Tokyo) and watch as they try to find themselves. Sort of.

Oh, and after you watch it, get your grubby little hands on the soundtrack. Is good.

I forget who this is from, but there's an article out there that talks about both the anonymity and anxiety of being alone in a big city. You feel both independent and lost, both set free and at a loss. It makes me miss Hong Kong because that's how I felt the whole time I was there.

Again, I feel that familiar desire to travel.
