This scene simply depicts that feeling of leaving a place which is not home, but started to feel like it. A blue afternoon, passing streets and traffic signs is all you see through the car window. Somehow, the city has some magic, is prettier than you could have realized before. You wish to stay, but you are a passenger on a car that cannot stop by for a while. For a last while. Nostalgia.

Daysi Paola Cruz Castillo that was kind of the way I felt the first time I was leaving Japan after spending a month there. I went there at the end of August and stayed till the first day of October, which turned out to be the first day after the summer heat broke, it was a cool, rainy day, and I really didn’t want to leave. Fortunately I’ve been able to go back a few times, but nothing felt like that first time leaving, not knowing if I would ever make the trip back...

This definition would be in a dictionary.

Sometimes all we need is the satisfaction of knowing we shared something really special with someone that will last in memory forever, and that person knows it too. They both knew they were what they needed only at that place, only at that time. Absolutely beautiful.

Hi lista2k! I like how you define that as it answers to a happening in my own life with a lady I met in the spring of '76 while traveling in Greece. It was always a platonic relationship. We became pen pals as she lived in Nova Scotia. I still have all the letters over the years of her going to college, working on an ocean liner and falling in love with the engineer and marrying him, and raising three children. I even made my way to their home and helped peel logs for a big addition to their beautiful log cabin. I wondered why she chose such and opposite person to spend her life with. I said nothing about it and she on her own said "opposite poles attract." I still silently thought it was a mistake. The children all graduated from high school. She got a divorce and didn't tell me why. She then fell in love again with a very nice man yet several years of happiness suddenly ended when he literally dropped dead of some strange syndrome. She then fell in love again and traveled all over the western US with her husband. I felt bad as they never stopped to visit me. Her children married and one had a child etc. She suddenly stopped writing back. Two Christmases passed and no letters answered. I was very sad, and still am. I'm cleaning papers and one time thought I should mail all the letters she wrote as her life transpired as I'm, in the afternoon of my life, leaving in a few months on a great world journey that could last years and parting with my few material things. I might just part with the letters and throw them away yet not throw away something meaningful occurred even in a fragment of time. You have a good way of putting life events in their place with what you said. If I had only looked at it that way I wouldn't be feeling years later like I do now. Our letters spanned 40 years!

I really don’t want to be cynical but I feel that films have gotten worse or atleast there are less interesting small films being made.

Probably the most bittersweet closing scene in film history.

Never really thought much of Scarlett Johanssen until this film. She was perfect for this role, and her understated intensity was incredible.

I couldn't agree more. A magic & deep connection between 2 strangers far away from home. Simple and beautiful

Meeting someone special on your travels is very hard. Not only does it change your itinerary, it changes your life.

Never has a film moved me emotionally like this one. You laugh, get enveloped in the moment, but you have that melancholy feeling in the back of your mind that these moments won't last forever... One of the saddest parts of this movie is that both characters found perfect solace in each other's company, yet both realized that their previous commitments prevented them from seeking out their love. It's so tragic, yet beautiful.

One of the best closing touch to a movie...ever....

This is so true. Beautiful and sad at the same way. After all we just have to go home, go back to our old lives, no matter how great time we had. We're all lonely, unhappy in our relationships, and suddenly we meet THAT person and nothing is like it was before. Anyway... I love this movie. It's a masterpiece.

Always loved this movie. It's just so sweet and you can read whatever you want into the relationship. I've been travelling a lot over the last few years and have experienced this bittersweet goodbye a few times now. Always meeting people and then having to split up and go back to regular life, most likely to never see them again. But I'm thankful I had that time with them in the first place.

love this movie. gives me some kind of melancholy...

Olivier Ordóñez They always make the people out to be perfect in romance films, as if they're trying to make their ideal, but that's not a romance with a pulse, it's just a pretty model they wish they could be.

if this movie went on for 7hrs i could have sat down and watched the entire thing without a blink of an eye

THE middle-aged guy's movie. Bravo.

Had my lost in translation in Osaka. The way she said her last goodbye reminds me so much of how I felt... Wonderful days we had which I won't forget. Life goes on. We go on with the sparkling memories... Love love this movie...

This is one of those films I'll watch again and again and will never get tired of it :)

This is an excellent example of an average movie that punches above its weight through a superlative climax :) I had heard Just Like Honey before I saw this movie but fell in love with it only after watching this magical ending.

I lived in NYC all alone when this movie came out. I thought I'd hike over to the theater in Times Square to see it. It really hit home for what I was going through. Good for any person who has ever lived alone in a big city. I made friends eventually.

While the ending was bittersweet it was also uplifting. Bob seemed completely lost until Charlotte reminded him that he still could enjoy the simplest things. He would have been destroyed by leaving until he got to say goodbye the way he wanted to. The smile as he walked away said it all "Thank you for giving me my life back"

If I can ever have a moment as powerful and beautiful as this in my life, I'll die contented

This seems to be one of those rare flicks that had a well put together background soundtrack that enhanced and complimented the feel of the movie perfectly. You're drawn into without even realizing it...and sometimes, without even knowing why. All you know is it just feels right.

This movie came out as I was going through a bad long distance relationship. Things started out great but soon there was no passion left, and we were going through the motions. This whole movie but especially this ending just messes me up so much. I remember how happy we were at the start, and how we had to say goodbye.

This one scene always leave me tearful. So sweet....yet so sad. He should've stayed.in Tokoyo. They could have started a jazz band. :-)

This movie shows how is Tokyo in all its essence, and these make sense when you put a foot in Shibuya. Tokyo is unbelievable!!

I remember when I saw this movie in theaters, I balled my eyes out during this scene. It's so sad, yet truly fitting. Watching Bob's (Bill Murray) taxi ride towards the airport really made me feel the impact of 'goodbye'. Tokyo was their adventure and their stage. This film is absolutely beautiful. Top ten all time for me.

i have watched this movie so many times... and its still amazing

Angels fall like rain And love is all of heaven away Inside you the time moves Stars come down in you And love, you can't give it away Inside you the time moves Don't you go It makes no sense When all your talking supermen Just take away the time And get in the way Ain't it just like rain And love, is only heaven away Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade

still my very BEST ending scene yet ! thanx 4 posting juan.f. Duya...u c this? u r still in my heart.

(Lyrics) Listen to the girl As she takes on half the world Moving up and so alive In her honey dripping beehive Beehive It's good, so good, it's so good So good Walking back to you Is the hardest thing that I can do That I can do for you For you I'll be your plastic toy I'll be your plastic toy For you Eating up the scum Is the hardest thing for Me to do Just like honey (x 17)

favourite movie ever

It's sad because they'd never be able to have that experience again. Even if she visited him when she got back. Love will tear you apart.

That is a truly stunning ending to a great film.

This last scene is complicated but you can tell what was said just from the expression on his face before and after the whisper, and especially on hers. That is not the smile of a girl that just had her heart broken. Her face was not one of "I am never going to see him again and this was our last kiss" but of "I am in love with this man on some level and we will see where this goes." The scene is so powerful because we learn that this is not a story of what was but of what is going to be.

Dude, that's "real life". Only in the movies does it end nice/neat. That's why we need films, so that we can "hope" for next time. Art/inspiration. Where would we be without it.

I totally love it ... Such a masterpiece

This is the perfect song for this movie...reminds me things that we can't change, misunderstandings, impossible love.

If you meet your soul-mate, you already have been at the right place at the right time...

This movie holds a special place in my heart because..I too, have been lost in trnslation.

In life...i save a lot of wasted time by asking people if they like the film 'Lost in translation'?...if they say 'no, it bored me to death'...or...'I hated it, nothing happens!'...then, for me, further investment in them is wholly unnecessary.

Love this movie, the two of them have such great chemistry together

What a wonderful movie. A perfect ending...just beautiful.

This is one of the most touching Goodbyes ever.

This film truly depicts my first experience to Japan....ironically also in Shinjuku...and this scene is always so real to that moment!

It was superb that, although we have witnessed their interactions from the beginning, what Bill whispers to Charlotte is so personal and intimate that even we are not privy to his words which evidently touched Charlotte very deeply.

I had this moment. Midnight, Union Square, New York City in December. I know I will never have one again and I will never forget it. It was magical. Perfect ending to this film.

i tried to forget this movie, but ehh. Lets get into deep emotional feeling again.

I watch this every day.

Such a beautiful scene...

"I have to be leaving now, but I on't let that come between us, ok?"

Goosebumps, every time.

This movie almost made me cry. It really hit me, very emotional for me.

Probably the best opening and closing scenes a movie can ever have....

I am still not over this. *sniffle*

I wonder what kind of person would go and say this film is bad. There are no words to describe it. The ending alone provokes so many feelings on the viewer. Brillliant.

Who else laughed when bill was on that stair climber thing and he yells for help.

Best movie ever made...

my fav movie of all times..and when "Just like honey "started to play ahh ( I already was nuts for that song ) I was like oh bah its like your heart beat so strong every time this song starts to play.. ....

One of the best scenes in the cinema history
