Sounds like it. Maybe you should really experience some
other things as your views sound really narrow.

i can see how it can go both ways tho...one one hand it
seems a bit overly romantic, cuz usually things probably
wouldn't go that way, but two would just hang out together
and have some fun in the city...on the other hand, perhaps
there are some people that really are romantic souls, like
me haha.

are you fucking kidding me? are you seriously telling me i
don't like the movie because i haven't been to tokyo? give
me a break, my argument has nothing to do with where it
takes place.

You don't really have an argument, you're talking shit on a
messageboard. Maybe you should tell your friends (if you
have any) why you deem things not worthy of your attention.

What are you talking about? This is a movie thread, and I
explained what I didn't like about the film (as well as the
few things I did like), how am I talking shit?

Why are you flaming me? All you said was that you wouldn't
put a reference to Diaz in your film. Can you share the
films you're going to make or planning to make? You sound
really interesting, tell us a brief outline of the film
you'ld make so I can have a bit more faith in you.

Please read my second post in the thread. And I said "if" I
was making a movie. It's fine that you don't agree with
what I'm saying, but there is no need to resort to this
bickering.

I really recognize the feeling of after a long relationship
suddenly finding out that its easier to speak to a person
you only known for 5 minutes. And being surrounded by
another culture makes me more sensitive to a lot of things,
I can only recommend it, although lonelyness is a big part
of it! Lost in translation is great, and the girl, whatever
she is called, is so cute I could just die looking at her.

i saw this on tues.

i thought it was good. not great. it never really blew my
socks off, but it was good.

seemed a little pretentious at times. like, artsy for the
sake of being artsy. not that that's always bad.

i pretty much agree with mimi, 'cept i still enjoyed the
film.

just saw it for the first time this evening!

I loved it.

immediately ordered the region 1 dvd. :)

I did think the whispered sentence at the end was unneeded.
seemed like a bit of a cheap trick to me.

that was a bit silly but I didn't want all the ends tied up

I don't want all the threads to be tied up either, but it
just felt like a trick to mystify - the ending is otherwise
perfect and beautiful.

no. and I'm not going to bother thinking about it.

I also really disliked that you can hear him mumbling. just
show him saying something close to her ear from a distance,
with just traffic sounds or something.

widescreen.

which adapts to normal (as in: not widescreen) tv's - so you
get the letterbox effect.

Whatever he mumbled to her it was something good , she

again.

I love the scene where he is on the crazy exercise machine
and he screams "HELP!"
I had to go back and watch it several times haha! (simple

i doesnt matter what he said to her at the end. if theyd
actually written spoken dialogue for that it would have come
across as crass + would have dated the film really quickly.
it was something said between two characters. interesting, i
thought, that the camera only allowed us to intrude on their
lives up to a certain point.
i just wish the hacks writing for nasty tabloid rags + the
reprobates hosting the oscars coverage wouldnt turn it into
such an issue..
"what did he say?"
"what did he say?"

its like the suitcase in pulp fiction - we're never going to
know.
we don't need to know. let it be.. people who don't
understand which questions need answering and which are
better left a mystery worry me.
its like the old analogy of the flower. if you dissect it to
see what makes it beautiful, then it will never hold the
beauty it did originally.

Nope. I think you kinda missed the point there. I love the
way you don't hear that exchange. It's obvious that they'll
never meet again. She loves her husband and he loves his
family despites the ups and downs.

It was nice that Sofia didn't fall into the obvious 'cliche'
of making things work out for them. For a minute I thought
she would wreak it all by hinting on adultery on the part of
the husband (with the airhead movie star) but thankfully she
steered clear of such cheap and obvious 'conventions'. I
just saw it for the 3rd time with my own Sophia (who has
moved in with me here after 6months of long distance WOOHOO
:) and I loved it just as much as the first time.
