    ...and yet they did little besides comply with their supposed fates. both
    characters would prefer to sit in the hotel bar and look out the window and
    wonder why and how life was passing them by. it was akin a story of two
    frightened and useless americans devoting their efforts to concentrated
    whining and self-pity and then each others sad story instead of actually
    living life and doing shit.

    ....it was a pretty film in many ways, but having lived in tokyo for 2
    yrs,
    i cannot understate how painfully boring the two characters were in
    their
    exploration of all that is tokyo. two people so uninspired to
    experience
    the vastness of the tokyo cultural landscape sort of made it hard for me
    to
    endow them with any sort of character depth. as a result, i found them
    quite pitiful and hard to lead me to any land of mystery. but if you
    havent
    been there, perhaps it would be a nice visiit. my opinion of tokyo: it
    makes NY look like what it is, and it makes all other cultural meccas
    look
    painfully unnecessary.

    [Blunderov]
    While I take your point, it seems to me the two characters, Charlotte
    and Bob, were trapped in circumstances that that made them feel
    strangers to their own lives and Tokyo made this painfully clear to both
    of them.

    I envy you your two years there.

    Best Regards
