Interpretation of the ending of Lost In Translation

Roger Ebert made the following two comments. This is from his original review:




I loved the moment near the end when Bob runs after Charlotte and says something in her ear, and we're not allowed to hear it.
We shouldn't be allowed to hear it. It's between them, and by this point in the movie, they've become real enough to deserve their privacy.




This is from his second review, when he included Lost in Translation in his list of "great movies":




We get all we need in simply knowing they share a moment private to them, and seeing that it contains something true before they part forever.




So the significance is that they get some closure, even if we don't know exactly how.
