Life is filled with missed moments. Things we should have said. Things we shouldn’t have said. Things we should have done. Things we shouldn’t have done. Things we should have kept. Things we shouldn’t have kept. So when a perfect one comes along you want to savor it, even if it’s just in the movies. The ending of “Lost in Translation” is such a moment.
