The other day…

I was at home sick from work and I watched “Lost in Translation” again, considering how I own it. And I just have to say, if you don’t like that movie - you’re insane. Except for a couple scenes, it’s pure genius all the way through. Slow, yes. But a character study with the concurrent themes of being lost in life and being lost in a foreign country, as if to say, “Hey, these relationships, they’re like visiting a foreign country where everyone’s speaking a different language; we lose so much meaning crossing over.” Excellent. And beautiful.

    You’re right. Lost in Translation is one of my favorites as well, and you’ve expressed the reasons well. The first time I watched it, it was breathtaking. The second time, almost as good… I suppose I should watch it a third before too long. :-)
