I'm watching one of my favorite films, "Lost in Translation". You know, the one that Sophia Coppola did with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson? I fell in love with that film the first time that I saw it. It's a film where's like either you feel it or you don't. Yeah, there's no explosions or wild sex or non-stop slapstick comedy. However, this film does have a soul. Two people in a foreign land, married to different people. Alone. Lonely. Empty. Somehow they find each other. Then, things aren't so bad, at least for a little while anyway. It's not a sexual connection. It's a bond based on the knowledge that there is at least one other person, if only for a few moments in time, understand you. It gives me a little faith in the human condition.
