it's so interesting and the beginning is kinda funny. "lip my stockings" "lock and loll" lmao, I never really noticed japanese couldn't roll their r's. unrelated but I love the grain in early 2000's movies. feels more cinematic. Charlotte and bob are both in tokyo, different stages in life, but they both feel lost. they meet in the hotel, go out together, have Karaoke, hang out together. they both have no one to turn to. Charlotte calls a friend, saying she's unsure of her marriage, but she's shut down, same for the actor, he feels distant from his wife, his kids, he forgot his son's birthday, and his wife makes sure he knows he forgot. Bob chooses the burgundy carpet to make his wife happy because that's what she wanted but, she calls up saying "your burgundy carpets are out lf stock, what else did you like" idk that whole call was so sad. their final hug when Bob is leaving, is sooo well acted by scarlett. you could see her desperation as she held onto him.
