The Big Picture If we take a look at the plots of Lost in Translation and Her, two of the most celebrated movies in the recent past, they may well seem to be telling the same story, just years apart. Even though there are 10 years between their coming out — the first in 2003, the latter in 2013 — it's difficult to find two movies that complete themselves like Sofia Coppola's and Spike Jonze's while still being able to individually cast honest looks on the same subject: loneliness.
10 years later, Her came out. In a not-so-distant future, Theodore is a 30-something who still reminisces about Catherine , whom he thinks was the love of his life. He finds solace for his broken, empty heart in Samantha , a virtual assistant that works to fulfill the owner's every need. Yes, even broken, empty hearts.
What's interesting to see in both movies is how they deal with loneliness in the aftermath of a meaningful relationship and how we constantly look for ourselves in other people.
