Yeah, Bob and Charlotte are far from perfect. But the film isn't meant to be a moral manual for living as an expat. Everything they felt was so well-portrayed and relatable to me having briefly lived in Asia, the good and bad. The desire to find something in common with other foreigners, the tendency to treat the local culture as wallpaper and revel in its most alien aspects, the ennui of an unsatisfying yet privileged lifestyle that Lost In Translation conveys are what I love about the film.
