This just became my favorite film in the last months, im watching it over and over again.. It has a really unique feel to it, how it moves along and Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are perfect together
@@halfglassfullproductions5174 I was in the same situation aroud 1997, leading a six monthes project away from home, family and friends. Karaoke room in Tokyo, but instead of Scarlett Johnson I'm with my customer, who is used to be very strict serious person all day long, and suddenly he's singing so into it, for hours until he was completely drunk... After that night, in my hotel room, I felt exactly like Bob Harris ;-) I will always have a warm felling to this scene and the movie itself. Amazing movie and I love the acting by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johnson
Lost In Translation is one of those films that stays with you long after you watch it, like a far off memory. A love story that isn’t corny or cliche’. A love story that isn’t centered around romance for the sake of romance. One of the most accurate depictions of human connection I’ve ever seen. It explores themes of love, loneliness, isolation, regret, longing, adventure, dreams… and most of all, friendship. Because what good is that fairy tale, lovey dovey bullshit if there isn’t mutual understanding? Deep in our core it’s what we all crave the most, to be understood, to be seen. This is the true human experience.
Solamente has de encajarlo con chico que no sea una estrella de cine en horas bajas, y chica pareja de alguien con éxito. Si no lo has vivido jamás sabrás lo que es. Amo esta película.
The way Coppola changes the focus of the lens right at the phrase ‘more than this’ (we were seeing Bob, now he’s blurred and we see Charlotte shyly smiling, then we see him again as he’s sadly singing), that summarizes the whole film for me, even more than the final kiss and the indecipherable whisper at the end of the movie. That’s cinema at its best.
My god! I never noticed that until i read your comment. That moment when the camera focusses on scarlet and she turn's to look at bill is so beautiful.
The roughness of the filming of this scene gives it such energy. It reminds me of one of those drunken nights you had long ago with its fleeting images and connections.
How could you not fall in love with her in that moment? At 48 now myself, what I see now in Bob is this brilliant understanding that this moment is enough - that of course a young girl like Charlotte is going to come along and stand out, and of course she’s going to be one in a billion, and of course you’re going to fall in love with her. And all of that is enough. It’s beautiful and melancholic, and it can be powerful to acknowledge without making an ass of yourself.
After having lived in Japan for 18 years, I can say that Lost In Translation is the most accurate depiction I've ever seen, showing both the fun and stupidity of life as a foreigner in Japan. However, life can be far more difficult than shown;)
Anymore, I almost have to shake my head. What IS this collection of moments and images? It becomes more brilliant with each passing year. The drive to create it, the speed of the shoot, the serendipity of the shots, the gut punching earnestness of the performances, the pitch-perfect synthesis of music and scenes, and the deft, succulent, concise editing... that’s a whole lot of lightning captured in a very special bottle. It hits painfully, whimsically, nostalgically, humorously... we have all been Charlotte needing a Bob, and we all become Bob needing a Charlotte.
Yes, here we see Charlotte in a relationship with a man who is more of a boy and she needs more, and we see Bob who every morning when he looks in the mirror and wonders what became of the man who he is. And they are both reluctant to become involved because of their obvious age difference.
La soledad, la esperanza, la alegria, la tristeza...... la melancolia de un momento perfecto.....la mejor escena de la historia del cine.....la vuelvo a ver y solo encuentro mas perfeccion....solo algunos podran realmente entenderla...
LIT comes to everyone at such different times. I was in Uni trying to figure myself out and figure how to have relationships. It really moved me so vividly. The only movie I’ve seen 2x (willingly) in theaters
Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie from Disney's The Chronicles Of Narnia once had a temporary tattoo of Scarlett singing in this scene on her left arm. 💐❤💙💜❤💙💜 I love her! 🙏👑💘❄❤💚❄
"Más que esto sabes que no hay nada". Nada tan especial, tan original y singular como esta vivencia. Ya lo expresa bien él, cuando se gira hacia ella y se lo trata de decir cantando: ✨✨✨✨3:00✨✨✨✨ Porque él está desatado: ✨✨✨✨0:49✨✨✨✨
I might be off base here, but the two of them sharing a cigarette on the bench with her head on his shoulder was the equivalent of a couple in bed after making love. If that is what it was, then the karaoke science was the greatest love scene in movie history, imho.
I wouldn’t really ship them but I love this movie and I think it’s really sweet that Charlotte invited the lonely Bob Harris to hang out With some of her friends and go out on adventures in Tokyo
I totally ship them for one simple but crucial reason, they connected on a level many won't even come close; and the age difference was integral part of it. She's an old soul and she needed another old soul she couldn't find in her young husband but, even more than that, they instantly "got" each other like they knew each other for decades. That's rare. And the alienating Tokyo setting sealed the deal, and added even more adventure to the affair.
@@yousfiabdelali Was always one of my favorites on the soundtrack, too. I passed that love onto my daughter, who’s 21 now and said she relates to Charlotte now more than ever. :-)
