Best film of last year, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that film was excellent. i highly recommend it. |
||||||||
|

i thought it was boring and predictable. the only good part was seeing the adorable scarlet johansen sit around in her undies. |

I enjoyed most of it, although it was unconventional -- which is what I ended up liking about it. I was very surprised to see Anna Faris in it, she played a great supporting "Cameron Diaz"-esque character. |

brilliant film, great atmosphere and acting, Copolla is an amazing director, cant wait to see more of her films. |

lost in translation has been out on dvd for fuckin ever, i have it on hold for myself actually. and the movie is fucking sublime |
||||||||

i think he's referring to the overseas release. it came out in the states a while back. and i also think it is an extraordinary movie. |
||||||||
|

i love it. i felt i could really relate to it's characters. and it is so beautifully filmed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's been out up here for ages. rented and watched it when it came out, actually. absolutely amazing film. i love everything about it. and a top notch soundtrack too :) |
||||||||
|
|

i don't know anyone, besides myself, who didn't enjoy it. |
||||||||
|
|

i know a few friends who weren't too big on it. and people are entitled to their own opinions and all, but damn, not when they're hating on a movie as good as this haha |
||||||||
|

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful film, wonderful. |

my mother in law hated it. but she said something about not appreciating how older women were depicted in the film. i wasn't sure what the hell she was talking about though. my parents didn't like it either, even though i thought they would. but they said the same as you, that it was too slow. but my mom is Japanese, so maybe the whole idea of not being able to understand anyone, and being in a totally alien world was lost on a native japanese person. i thought my dad would like it being a 6'4" tall white guy who doesn't speak japanese but has visited many times but he gets bored easily. so anyway, i can see why some people don't like it. it was just a very personal movie to me. like i took it into my heart or some shit. know what i'm sayin? |

Me too man, me too. I was really touched by this film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i know what you mean. it's weird tho, cause the film sort of reminded me of igby goes down, and i LOVE igby goes down.... so i dunno why i didn't enjoy this one. |
||||||||
|
|

Fantastic... £12.99 inc delivery from play.com btw. For the first time in ages I really felt the relationship between the two characters... it was realistic unlike 99.9% of Hollywood tosh. Can't wait to get this. |

evolume: funnily enough, my parents didn't like it as much as i thought they would when i came home & took them out to see it. in hindsight, they perhaps couldn't relate to the characters as much as me. women my mum's age weren't represented at all. and my dad couldn't be more different to murray's character - he doesn't question his existence, because he's happy with the life he made for himself. for me, i identified with johanssen's character's apparent sense of being overwhelmed by life - not knowing where to go yet & struggling to grasp the moment for what it is (thankfully i think i might be past that stage now, at least for the time being).. and in murray, i saw what johanssen's character could become in time. what i or my friends could become in time. not someone paid $1million to advertise whiskey, but someone who lost their way at some untdetermined point. stopped doing what made them happy & did what they felt they ought to do. now they have made their bed & have to lie in it, awake.. every night.. wondering where their life went. i don't want to wake up one day and feel like this. my parents actually found jack nicholson's "something's gotta give" much more engaging. perhaps because the issues that the characters dealt with in that film were more immediate to them. for me, i could see WHY that film was funny. but because the jokes meant nothing to me personally - i failed to engage with them. so i didn't laugh aloud like my parents did. i guess it just depends where youre coming from on the age spectrum. |

I didn't really enjoy Igby Goes Down, I must admit.. it had its moments but the character was too obnoxious to really care about. Lost In Translation I thought was excellent, and I look forward to watching it on DVD. |

Need to get it.. |

i rate it 4/10 bore |

igby goes down is good!! jeff goldblum is another great comedic/serious actor. |

i love the film...i bought the dvd quite some months ago...some great ... |

Oh my god... this is the worst movie ever if it's the one I'm thinking of... Here's a humorous excerpt from a good movie called "willow". High elwin (or something): "Go in the direction the bird is flying!" Burglecut" "It's going back to the village!" High elwin (or something): "... ignore the bird... Follow the river!" |

I met the little midget guy from that last year. |

pleasant, but the praise seems like a case of nepotism. |
||||||||
|

terrible movie. |

So I bought this bad boy today and watched for a second time. It's still an amazing and beautiful film and the ending still gets me. |
||||||||
|
|

watched it for first time last night. thoroughly enjoyed it ..... 9.5/10. |

I now hate you and tragedy. And "EugeneII". And evolume's parents. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hated it. it was way to empty and stark but not stark in a good way like 21 grams it just felt slow and dull and too much like it was taking the piss out of japanese people. i really disliked it, it did nothing for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it made me smile :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it made me nothing. the film is just an attempt to make a really bland story seem all arty and its one dimensional attempt at being an arty flick but it fails because it has no substance the only good bit was them out doing kareoke. its just a really empty film no story no nothing just long slow ambient feeling city shots. fuking drivle in my opinion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're not buying all that "EugeneII"-stuff, are you, Fabien..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

sounds like you started watching it expecting some kind of story. logically, it will then seem disappointing and empty. there is not much of a plot - waiting for one is kind of missing the point. even then seeing the emptiness can be seen as kind of "getting" some part of the film - although I don't think it's empty at all, it just shows people who are perpetually lost. it's pretty typical of our generation to like a film like this - we can be seen as a generation that is kind of permanently lost. whether this applies to you personally, most probably you know one or more people who are like this (I connected to it pretty well). I bought it as a region 1 dvd when it came out - haven't watched it again yet. kind of have to find the right moment. |

see there you go you've made the mptyness out to be the key factor to enjoying the film. ive watched loadsa great films that are empty but not in the way this one was empty. its not empty in a good way it was just dead. it had one mood. there was no dynamic it failed to shift gears anywhere it was the film version of a drone with a slight modulation about half way through. i dont know i just disliked it the whole taking the piss out of the japanese with jokes that werent really funny. your right though i did expect more of a plot but to be honest i fail to see the intrest in a film without any real plot. if theres no plot theres no real story. the film was simply a drawn out old guy fancys young bird they flirt nothing happens. it basically could have been a 10 minute film with the rest bieng just the lovely city shots and id be happy with that. it just seemed to be claiming to be something its not |

i look forward to the popularity of this film to die. it was way hyped up, for no reason at all in my opinion. and i completely agree with you, seth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I didn't. I said I don't think it's empty at all. if something doesn't have a real plot it doesn't have a real story, no. and vice versa. I think you're confusing content with story. I also think you're confusing what you perceive as empty characters with the whole film then being empty. most of the film "happens" in the silent parts - the subtext, that which is only implied but not spoken out. |

"the film is just an attempt to make a really bland story seem all arty and its one dimensional attempt at being an arty flick but it fails because it has no substance" EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agree totally with, qrter. also, tragedy...as for the "popularity" of this film...i only heard of it recently....and only watched it last night. assumptions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has plenty of substance.....as qrter was saying .. content is another story. being able to relate to the characters and appreciating the slim, but thick storyline is another sense, no? i enjoyed it. and am leaving it at that. argueing over these opinions isn't worth it. you won't change anyone's minds. |

well in massachusettes, people might as well have written the damn words "let's fucking talk about lost in translation constantly for the next 4 months" on their foreheads. |

same here all i fuking heard was have u heard about this new film its amazing. blah its fuking pretencious wank and alot of people have watche dit and gone oh wowo this films so deep on so many levels its not its cold dull blank expressionless it is empty you cannot imply alot fo story from people sitting around acting all thinky which was also a obvious attempt at exaggerating teh diea that it is a thoughtful film. people sitting around thinking implys very little subtext i see this film as nothing more or above the idea of an older married unhappy man fancying a younger married unhappy lady and pondering fancying ehr and her doing the same. thats it you cannot read any deeper. im going to go sit and be all thinky in my bedroom and then sell my thinky moments as a pretencious film which was miserably dull |
