I totally agree with you. Age has very little to do with a successful relationship and a sense of humour is sometimes more of a virtue than good looks. You can find your soulmate in the strangest of places.

I feel this way as well. This movie shows a relationship that most people will never experience. You can see they were even confused by what they shared. It is not a relationship about lust. They are both at such different times in their lives, but are both feeling unfulfilled. Both starting out in new territories. It is beautiful that being in Tokyo at this one specific time they can open up to each other. They grow and learn and grow from each other, and know they will never find this kind of relationship again. That is what makes the end so sweet. They know all of this and they let it go.

Re "2)," I don't.
This is just how shallow and stupid people are now. It's completely predictable that twits would be out here saying this ("50-year-old ugly guy, etc."). To paraphrase from the New Testament, "The shallow and stupid we always have with us." -

They connected on a deeper level
There you have the problem.
those who are only able to see and experience the superficial things in life don't even know what you meant with "deeper level". The next thing they would answer is probably something along:
"Lel, go suck a bag of di

My only argument to this is that he is a world Famous movie star and she is very beautiful and young. Youth and beauty to men and Fame and money to women are exactly the kind of superficial things that fool people into believing they are really seeing something deeper especially in the short term and it kept me from fully buying into this movie.

While Scarlett is just perfect, I think Bill Murray is way too morose for the part, especially at the beginning. First impressions count. What draws her to him? Like 'faint heart never won fair lady.' But therein lies the attraction for many wistful old men. He needs her. Needs her like no randy young ram needs her. As a salve for his tired old soul. It's all heart-renderingly beautiful.

Oh PLEASE. It is another way of Hollywood pushing their ageist boundaries onto the population. Age DOES matter. You think men like this, who bide their time in life using women their own age, are nice? Looks, skin colour or nationality do not ever matter but time and history has shown us that age does indeed matter. People supporting this seem to think that they are somehow on another level and that they understand 'connections' so much. A man who sticks by a woman his own age is far more attractive. THAT is a connection worth having. If you grow old never finding love then seek it with someone your own age. Billions of people in this world that are your age so there is no excuse.

Just checking you watched the right film??? Are you familiar with words like "symbolism" "metaphor" and "allegory". This film works on a lot of levels. In my opinion the age gap accentuated how 2 disparate (yes "DISPARATE") people can form an unlikely bond, and surely we are meant to question Murray's intentions, and how he copes with his shift of attitude is part of the subtext of the whole movie.
Would the movie have been made with roles reversed say with Angela Lansbury as the jaded star and Jared leto as the "new" husband ? There's a thought.
Murrays character desires Johnanson's (what hetero males wouldn't) and her infectious energy figuratively wakes him up. i cant wait to watch this movie again with a "Lost In Trans" virgin and see what they think..
as Sophia probably never said "everyone's a critic"
enjoy. -

It was a great expression during the last scene when Bob's sad face found a smile. There was a realization. His sadness from the separation is gone and he smiled for the great experience he had.
Then the taxi ride scene is from Bob's eyes. Very real!!
