Watch Lost in Translation - Mar 02, 2004 12:05
Hands down it was the best movie I' ve seen for all of March. Granted it' s only March 2 but that' s beside the point.

For those who don' t know, LoT is about Bob Harris (Bill Murray) who is in Tokyo shooting a whiskey commercial. There he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson and DAMN she' s hot) who' s there with her boyfriend whom she never sees takes to his workaholic attitude.

Bob and Charlotte meet in a hotel bar, where their alienation and inability to sleep brings them closer together.

What I loved so much about LoT was that nearly every scene was just packed full of emotion. In some ways you can say the story is told through emotion. It doesn' t waste time with a lot of unnecessary dialogue or plot devices.

**SPOILERS**

It' s almost 100 minutes of pure emotion that tugs at your soul while you watch these two ever so slowly fall in love.

**/SPOILERS**

I would highly suggest checking out LoT if you' ve never seen/heard of it before. It was worth every praise it has received thus far and Scarlett Johansson is HOT, you hear me? Freakin HOT!

I watched a promo of it a few months ago. (cause my fiance works in the industry i get the hookup on all music/dvds)

I really enjoyed it. Its not your typical movie..i wouldnt call it great..but I wouldnt call it mediocre either. Its just one of those quirky movies that leaves you satisfied with its originality.

Once again I enjoyed the Japanese culture stuff.

Do what the man says. Lost in Translation is easily the best movie of last year. The Academy don' t know what the hell they' re talking about. LiT is fantastic in all regards. If you like movies, you' ll like it. Just go already.

I seen it, thought it was OK, my freinds did not understand it, anyway, the part of the movie I liked was the whole theme on showing you a new culture, i.e Hong Kong, kinda interesting, worth watching the movie for alone, but I don' t think it should of got all of them awards...there were better films out, but then again people do take to them dramatic/emotional films kinda too much...but it seemed like one of those straight to DVD films for me...
