Lost In Translation does a lot for its budget. Many claim the characters are shallow and probably say the same after viewing Coppola's other films. Yes, it is sentimental, but it has depth. It is a film about memories, travel and language. Coppola's intention is not to laugh at the Japanese. The performances are wonderful and the contrast between the beauty of Tokyo and the melancholy of the characters is serene.
this film was a bit of therapy during a particularly lonely time in my life a few years back. Because of the sentimental value I was kind of scared to rewatch it and see how it would hold up. It still does. The use of "Sometimes" is perfect: romantic but bittersweet song for a romantic but bittersweet film. Oh, and Scarlett hasn't looked or been this good in a film since.
Beautifully romantic... i love the final scene when they're met in down-town, kissing and hugging and say goodbye for the very last time... They're attracted to each other but chose not to expressed it. Scarlett looks like an angel here.
Confesso que, mesmo sendo um grande admirador da Soffia, vi esse filme com um imperdoavel atraso. A delicadeza de Soffia coloca beleza na tristeza e no tédio de duas pessoas. No final das contas o filme é sobre dependência e de como precisamos de certas pessoas, que não são pessoas qualquer.
...you smiled// I did?// Yes, it was a complete accident. A freak. I haven't seen it since. Just that one time. (http://grooveshark.com/s/Just+Like+Honey/nhJRK?src=5)
uuuyyy que triste esta imagen y eso que la película, al contrario, mantiene un ambiente cálido y feliz cuando ambos protagonistas comienzan a interactuar...........Charlotte y Bob,perdidos en la urbe colosal que debe ser Tokio, se conocen y acompañan para no ser tan ajenos e indiferentesa a esa ciudad caótica/mistica ...me encanta la sensibilidad que se transmite en los dialogo no dichos :)
I thought that this was an alright movie. I found myself bored at times becuase there is no sense of urgency to the plot. Things never get to dramatic or really passionate. I kept waiting for the movie to really make a play to get my attention but each time nothing really interesting happened. I also didn't like Scarlett Johansson character Charlotte. Charlotte comes off as a bit pretentious and a little ungrateful. She is a recent philosophy grad who has enough money to choose what ever career path she wants and she is on an essentially free trip to Japan in the nicest hotel, but still she pouts around. College grads would kill each other just to be in that position. Also, Billy Murray's character got 2mil for a weeks worth of work but thinks it is so beneath him to do this. Some things I did like about this movie include the excellent cinematography and some truly funny dialogue from Bill Murray. In all honestly Bill Murray is the only thing holding up this movie from me.
love it... I am simply drown by the feeling of two lost characters.. Really deep and longing for each other in their own ways
One of the few movies that truly gets more beautiful, heartbreaking and meaningful every time I see it.
this really is my kind of movie; i hate to admit it though because i'm not a big S Coppola fan.
My kind of movie meaning a movie with great cinematography and a dreamy, hazy feel. A touch of femininity, but not overwhelmingly so. A female lead, and an "actions speak louder than words" style of filming. I didn't say this was a situation I would like to be in. Why should I believe something like this would happen in real life? Why should anyone believe anything they see in movies should happen in real life? A movie should be "like" life, but not "be" life. If movies were just like life, why would we even bother to see movies at all?
A film of few words, but the way Coppola captures the moods and unspoken emotions of two lost souls in Tokyo is pure cinematic bliss.
Belki Scarlett'i kilolu gördüğümden belki de olay Japonya'da geçtiğinden bu filmin tamamını izlemeye dayanamadım. Fakat konusu bile bence hemen akla gelebilir olması ve basit örgüler içinde devam etmesi bence en fazla etkileyen etmenlerdi. İzleyemedim. Kusura bakma Sofia Coppola.
It's rare to see a movie that only has an interest in its characters and makes them so charming, lovable, and familiar. How many of you can relate to the feeling of happily married/in relationship yet feeling alone and confused wondering why? We all have, right. In the end of the movie, I felt a strange sense of depression that lasted for a few days, but I couldn't put my finger on why. This is why this is good.
Rart hvordan en del filmer jeg har sett for mange år siden, plutselig tar seg opp veldig ved et nytt gjensyn, nå i min cinefile "revolusjon".
