Lately I’ve felt the need to do comfy, safe things, like read and stay inside and watch movies. Lost in Translation will always be like an old friend to me. It reminds me a little of parts of my life. I met Logan due to happenstance and our first encounters were, for me, jolting and confusing and awkward, and when we parted after a few days I didn’t think I’d ever see him again. Something about this movie speaks to the randomness of the world, the painful reality of being human, and how you can meet the most important people at the weirdest times,
