Title: Lost In Translation
Post by: Javier on February 03, 2004, 09:07:38 PM

My 2nd fav. movie for me of 2003 is Lost In Translation.  Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson both give A grade performances. The story is unique and very original which deals with confusion and loneliness and has a very original ending.- I give this movie a B+  go watch it, it is directed by Sofia Coppola

i completely agree. coppola's first film called the virgin suicides is also pretty good (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159097/).

Amazing film. Fuck a B+, shit is A to me ;)

I don't agree that it's racist. It's about the gap that exists between cultures, mostly in terms of linguistics, so of course it deals with how one group of people views another. But it doesn't promote prejudice in any way IMO.
