Having done some traveling, I can relate to culture shock. Even more so, I thought one of the main points in regards to Murray and Johannsson was the amount of impact a random stranger could have on your life in only a couple days. Most people are looking for romantic sparks to explode between the two. I think it's a little more subtle than that. For charlotte, she wanted to be understood and appreciated, not left in the dark. Harris was looking for something where he didn't feel obligated to be involved. The two actors did a really astounding job in bringing those desires from script to the screen.
