Lost In Translation - Movie Discussion

Recommended Posts

Seen it. Mediocre, but aren't pretty much all Bill Murray movies? Scarlett's best role - the sci-fi thing with Ewan was just short of interesting. She was later quoted as saying "Sexy young men throw themselves at me ... It's nice, it means I can borrow lots of nice designer dresses, and there are a lot of perks that come with that, I guess." Live it up girl - you've got about 4 years of screen-life left.
Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

The lyrics to the song in the Strip Club....

Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me,
Callin me, all the time like blondie
Check out my chrissy behind
It's fine all of the time
Like sex on the beaches,
What else is in the teaches of peaches? huh? what?

Nope. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was in the restaurant....

Charlotte: [after Bob tells her of his back pain] I'm in pain, I got my foot banged up. Wanna see it?
Bob: [to Chef, sarcastically] How do you say no?
[sees the foot]
Bob: Oh, my gosh! When did you do this?
Charlotte: I did it the other day, it hurts, y'know?
Bob: Didn't you feel any pain?
Charlotte: Yeah, it really hurt.
Bob: That toe is almost dead.
[Charlotte laughs]
Bob: I think I got to take you to a doctor, you can't just put that back in the shoe. Well, you either go to a doctor or you leave it here.
[regarding Chef]
Bob: He's smiling. You like that idea? See they love black toe in this country.
[Charlotte continues laughing]
Bob: We can have the chef chop it off. They love it here. [Japanese voice] Gimme Black Toe

:D

I've seen it. I think I own it. Good stuff.



play the sountrack more often than I care to admit and I think the movie is pretty great.

forget about what he whispered to the scarlett johanson character. I don't think it was ever about the getting together as much as it was about intimacy. in the end, they enable each other to swim back to the surface of their own lives...to feel again. Those early scenes before they even met were so important in terms of character development, or lack thereof spiritually and emotionally.

I loved that lunch scene when they argue. They know each other so well they know how to draw blood.
GREAT STUFF....

and scarlett has a lot more than 4 years ahead of her. she is brilliant and is going through this faze of getting offered EVERYTHING on the planet because someone in hollywood was smart enough to see how talented she is.

see GHOST WORLD and tell me she's not talented.

Bob Goulet...THAT NOT TALENTED. ;)

I actually had to do a report on that movie in my humanities clas.... about stuff on globalization.

I didn't care for it at all, I didn't understand it.

What was the point of running away from the laser guns?! Like they were getting shot at for real?

I dunno it really confused me.

a lot can be written about the commodification of culture on both sides (appropriation of Bill Murray's character to push whiskey...and scarlett's husband the photographer.

it's also pretty cool how they make the americans the OTHER, as oppossed to the other way around.

dude, relax.....sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Japan becomes this decentering place, sometimes it forced them to really think and be present, other times, like in the case of that whole night, to be child like and play.

i, uh, really love that movie :$
