Bill Murray gives a stunningly accurate take on a man facing a mid life crisis with a romantic interlude with a woman half his age. Japan has never looked more enticing.

There was a time I really loved this movie, and I kinda have avoided it for the past 6 years because I'm afraid I still like it. I was lonely and depressed when I saw it, so fucking sue me.

This movie isn't even half as funny as Meatballs.

Atmospherically beautiful and serene. A sensual journey in a gorgeous Tokyo City; driven by a mesmerizing sense of chemistry between leads. Great.

Cheap and easy. Had two different leads taken this on it almost certainly would have been a complete failure. As it is, Murray teeters on being too cool, and Johansson, too innocent. It's not the worst thing I've seen but holy fuck do people need to stop talking about this.

This movie has plenty of heart. Its characters are authentic, REAL. The plot is something straight out of reality, a snapshot of human existence that nearly everyone can relate to. "Lost in Translation" is a genuine piece of artistry. Not to mention hilarious at times.

It takes a lot for a Romance film to interest me in any way, so it'd be best to get it out of the way and say that Lost in Translation isn't so much a Romance film as it is a Relationship film. The entire plot centers around the shifting dynamics, character growth and actions, there's very little "happening" in the typical sense, rather the viewer is left to ruminate on the small nuances within the actor's performances. As such, it isn't always terribly entertaining, but it's incredibly human.

I would say this movie is a "%u9069%u5F53%u306A%u6620%u753B" if Babel Fish is to be trusted.
