Commenting on Lost in Translation, this movie is rated R and released in 2003 by Sofia Coppola. Two Americans meet and become friends in Japan and discover a different perspective on life. The two main characters are Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson). Bob is a movie star shooting a commercial and Charlotte is a young wife of a photographer. They both have some experiences in Japan.
There are some nice scenes that show present day life in Japan. I'm sure they can somehow be used in classrooms.[Edit by="vhui on Jul 19, 8:39:46 AM"][/Edit]
