Reaction to Film
I adored even the temple was slow but it really touched my emotion in my deep heart. And another reason I like this movie because of Scarlett Johansson is one of my favorite actress. First the culture shocks really depressed people who are experiencing it. Besides the culture difference, the ending of this movie, a serious relationship had to ended make the atmosphere was full of sadness. In addition, Scarlett Johansson is an amazing actress with wonderful body but in this movie audiences are more focus on her impeccable acting than her good looking.
