Expression
都会の孤独　　 isolation in the metropolitan city

In order to write an essay, I watched one of my favorite films “Lost in Translation”. This film is great for the screen image and the script which shows the people’s isolation in the metropolitan city. Besides, it depicts lost things: not only the differences between language and culture, but also men and women, older and younger… in communication.
