Does It Get Easier? -Lost In Translation

The real climax of Sofia Coppola's 2003 film "Lost in Translation" is when Bob (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) discuss life based around the question "does it get easier?"  The scene begins with a high angle shot of the two of them lying on a bed.  This birds eye view symbolizes that they are both powerless in relation to their topic of discussion, life.  When Charlotte first asks Bob if it gets easier, he says no.  However, she then turns towards him, which shows that she is looking for him to provide hope to her life and did not get the answer she was hoping for.  He then changes his stance and says that is does get easier because he recognizes her hopelessness and wants to help her.  It is clear that he doesn't truly believe that life becomes easier as he looks away from her as he says it.  Bob then says "the more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you."  This time, he is speaking from the heart which is demonstrated by him turning towards her as he speaks.  Charlotte then talks about her lack of direction in life, showing that she doesn't know who she is so it may not get easier.  Bob demonstrates his care for her by in saying "I'm not worried about you", but he looks away as he says it.  The directions of their eyesight are deliberate and intended to give the viewer insight into the mind of the two.  Charlotte is looking towards him this whole time, desperate for advice in how to find happiness.  Meanwhile, Bob is looking away because he isn't happy himself and can't look her in the eye as he lies while attempting to comfort her.
