Lost in Translation
For relaxing times, make it Suntory time...
Chanced upon a few bottles of Suntory whisky at this restaurant in CHIJMES today.
Made me think about the Movie Lost in Translation. Such an ordinary movie, with no thrills
no spills, no special effects etc yet somewhat profound. I really loved the ending, (the bit where Bob caught up with Charlotte and whispered something in her ear before leaving) it really reminded me of the ending in Dicken's Great Expectations where it is deliberately left uncertain and open to interpretation. Maybe I'm reading too much into it...
Anybody care to share their views on the ending?

He whispered, "Imagine the number of cinema goers we are going to ripoff from producing this overrated movie".
