[YT Edit] Lost In Translation (2003)

Comments

You mentioned you should have more Bill Murray. Try QUICK CHANGE.

I’m just a normal avg guy from US. I had been living in China for work, for 10 years. I would sometimes escape from being in a foreign country by staying in nice western hotels (in China). This movie reminded me of that experience. There is magic to being stuck in a foreign country for work.

Always got the impression it was more of a mentor/mentee kind of relationship. But it was a common emotional bond just at two very different stages of life. Which is a major part of what attracted them in the first place. I remember being that age and being so grateful to run into my parents' friends or old coaches or teachers or whatever because there was an emotional centeredness that's just not really there yet with kids your own age. Youth can be chaotic and scary at times. Maturity means getting through it and coming out the other side better and more appreciative. Like just a guess, but I would imagine a lot of Gen Z might secretly enjoy spending time with people that grew up without social media.

It's not lurking--it's just getting to know my refresh button a bit better.

Anyone else lurking in here waiting on the next GoT drop?

Story Archer

Sofia Coppola: “Bill is so lovable and charming. Part of the story is about how you can have romantic connections that aren’t sexual or physical. You can have crushes on people where it isn’t that kind of thing. Part of the idea was that you can have connections where you can’t be together for various reasons because you’re at different points in life.” “LOST IN TRANSLATION” (2003) [RT=95%]. Won Golden Globe for Best Picture. Nom for Oscar for Best Picture. Also, AFI Top 10 Movie of the Year. AFI celebrated the film's unique vision, directing by Sofia Coppola, and memorable performances from Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Sofia Coppola won Oscar for Best Screenplay and was the 3rd female in history to be nom for Best Director Oscar. Bill Murray won Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Actor, and nom for Oscar for Best Actor. Scarlett Johansson won BAFTA Award for Best Actress. The film follows two strangers (Bob and Charlotte) as they form a unique connection and find solace in each other's company while feeling isolated in Tokyo.

This didn't resonate with me. Slow and boring. And the only thing we get out of is a middle aged man cheats on his wife and also has an emotional affair with a young married woman, not to mention he's 3x her age. I personally have no issues with age gap relationships but a 30 year difference when one is late teens/early 20s is a little weird.

"Love everything." Even onions, that vile, disgusting weed? Sorry, but you are going too far there.

Mike Lemon

Just watched this and GoT ep 3 & 4. Loved them both. Love Cassie. Love Carly. Love all of yuz. Love everything. That might have something to do with too many Cubra Libres in a Mexican resort pool while suntanned women vie for the title of "Least amount of fabric wasted on a bikini", but I could be wrong. Basically, I feel like Dan Aykroyd at the end of Ghostbusters 2 when he's had a dousing of mood slime.

Scarlett Johansson was 17 when the movie was filmed. She maintained her normal low 'tessitura' voice -- lower husky sounding voice -- to convey maturity in playing her character Charlotte who was 21-22. She supposedly had that lower sounding voice as a child actor, but apparently her voice softened as she has aged? Yet, I am no expert on her voice. I am not good at paying attention to detail like that.

Clay F

Weird movie lol ScarJo was like 19 or 20! Maybe that's why her voice sounded younger?

Thomas Cooney

Wonder if they did multiple takes for it, or if there was just one. Because her facial expressions and tear were pretty perfect.

Chris Thom

THE WHISPER That final scene between the two was sweet moment w/bond between them apparent. As for what he whispered, that was not important for the audience to know. While there has been speculation and even audio analysis, only Coppola, Murray, and Johansson know what Bill Murray whispered to Scarlett Johansson. Sofia Coppola has claimed that nothing was said at all. She explained in 2022 that the scene was shot on the last day of filming, and the original plan was to add in words in post-production -- but ended up deciding to just keep in the unintelligible whispering. “That thing Bill whispers to Scarlett was never intended to be anything,” she admitted. “I was going to figure out later what to say and add it in and then we never did.” In retrospect, she sees the unfinished moment that closed the film as a happy accident and not a mistake. “It was between them,” she says of the statement. “Just acknowledging that week meant something to both of them and it affects them going back to their lives.” In 2022, Johansson refused to say what was whispered but did comment on the evolving intense connection between the two characters in the movie. "The way these two characters affect one another is really profound," she notes. "You watch it and you don't judge it."

Was just there this summer for a wedding. Beautiful area. That damn gondola was ninety dollars though. Insane.

Chris Thom

A movie about loneliness and the experience of an unexpected connection. I think the point of the movie was to leave the audience feeling conflicted and confused, because most of us can identify with a situation like that. To Cassie's point, an innocent friendship can become "dangerous" fairly quickly. Many years ago I was on a ski trip at the Heavenly Valley ski resort in Lake Tahoe. (loved that ski resort.) After skiing all day, I stopped in the bar at the ski lodge for a beer. A woman sat down at a table next to me and we struck up a conversation. Both of us were married, our partners did not ski and would not go on a ski trip. We talked abuut our families and our lives. There was an immediate emotional connection. Time flew by, I didn't want to leave and I don't think she did either. But leave we must, and leave we did. Never saw or heard from her again. We did the right thing.

Albert E Jones

Just occurred to me that Scarlett Johnson was the voice of the ai in Her. Never really made that connection before.

Chris Thom

I think the experience you recalled in the outro is very much the kind of thing you're supposed to take away from the movie. Sofia Coppola, who wrote and directed this (the daughter of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola), used to be married to director Spike Jonze, and it has been speculated (maybe she outright said) that the husband played by Giovanni Ribisi is essentially an avatar for him (although she made him a photographer instead of a movie director), and I imagine the loneliness Johansson's character feels while Ribisi is working is very similar to something Coppola experienced. I think the idea is also that she's deciding how she feels about all sorts of things and working through many emotions about her marriage and so whatever she feels for Bob is not necessarily romantic but it is intimate. As you say, she's lonely and depressed and he represents a real connection with another person, something she's lacking elsewhere, and as a result the feelings all get tangled up and mixed together and don't necessarily make much sense. I think the obviousness that they are both cheating and they are not the right age for each other is something that viewers (and Coppola) can see now from a distance, but back in the moment as shown in the film, you can have unexpected problems, such as when she gets vaguely jealous that he slept with the lounge singer even though their interactions aren't romantic. Anyway, one interesting bit of trivia is that 10 years after this movie, Spike Jonze made a movie called Her (2013), and in it there is a character that many speculated was based on Coppola. So if you watch Her you can sort of see how both of them artistically worked through their separation from their individual perspectives.

Not a bad spot to be alone though. Lots of things to look at. Yeah but feeling alone can be another thing entirely.

Chris Thom

She has seen Chocolat (great movie).

Clay F

I think you would love Ever After, Chocolat and Dangerous Beauty. They are magical, uplifting romance movies!!

Olivia Ottoman

I didn't like this as much as some other people. I guess I need more "purpose" in my plotlines

Shreddy

Still really enjoy this movie. Calming, relaxing, contemplative, light humor, strange cultural and personal tensions...interesting film. Great performances by the leads and side characters. Can be really difficult to tackle loneliness in stories in an entertaining way.

Chris Thom

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time. This beautiful movie is about two humans connecting. Two people each outside of their element. Two lonely humans, each with their own issues in life, that become kindred souls. Sofia Coppola's Best Writing Oscar, and the movie's four Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor (Bill Murray), and Best Director (Sofia Coppola) all well deserved.

Clay F

It does seem like something he would like to make. George Lucas too.

Chris Thom

I've heard that the answer is actually out there now (thanks to sound enhancement tools), but of course the mystery and leaving it to your own interpretations might remain more interesting if it means something to you, rather than simply finding out the plain fact of what Bill Murray happens to have said

Stefan Borglycke

A nice little slice of life movie. Nothing much happens but still a satisfying experience. The sort of movie Sophia Coppola has been able to make more successfully than her father.

TheSingulatarian

I spent a weekend in Paris on my own one time. I don't think I felt more lonely in my entire life.

bgb1975 (Brian)

I don’t believe Bill or Scarlett have ever told what was said between them at the end of the movie, but I may be wrong

Anjolie Lanel

OMG! So I was on Letterbox seeing if Cass has seen Last Holiday (2006); and I noticed that she hasn’t see French Kiss (1995), either. Shocking.

Uncle Phoenix

I think that I’m going to make Last Holiday (2006) my October Pick-A-Flick.
