This movie was bad.

To all the movie saying that this movie was "beautiful" - you're right. It is pretty haunting to see bill murrary's sad face.

So then what do we learn from sad, lifeless, bill murrary? What not to do. He says it gets easier, as you learn what you want and learn about who you are.

That's great Bill. Look how learning all about yourself turned out for you. You end up sad and alone with a wife that says "stay in Japan".

He also never once talks to his kids. There isn't one scene where he is saying "Hey buddy! How are you?" or any sort of conversation.

Perhaps that's where the lesson is - how to live your life if you want to be unsatisfied and empty. Learn about yourself and who you are and what you want.

The proper lesson of course, and it is obvious, is then to do the opposite. Learn who other people are and learn what other people want. Talk to your kids instead of sitting around mopeing in a hotel. You aren't the only person on planet earth.
