I love it. It's just nice to look at all the beautiful scenery, very dreamy. I can always pop this in if I'm having a bad day and feel infinitely better. Also, the soundtrack is perfect and Kevin Shields should be forced to work on more films. Bill Murray is always immensely watchable and it's no different here. One of my favorites.

Visual poetry. What is truly refreshing about Lost in Translation is the honesty. An honest romance film that doesn't pander to the audience and cop out with the ending. Stated as overrated in many circles, I strongly disagree. There have been few (if any) greater American love stories on film in the last decade. Very few films can simultaneously make you feel happy inside, while also making you weep. Murray was robbed.

Writer-director Sofia Coppola's personality is so engrained in this picture that it's no wonder it's often included in "Films for INFJs" lists. The photography & dreampop music create a looming atmosphere for these characters to live in. And as a story it avoids being a simplistic melodrama about an older man & young woman. It loses some points as the jokes on Japanese locals & the Anna Faris character can be mean spirited. But it's recommended for the moral of finding hope in depression.

(after repeat viewings) Seen it a lot recently, evokes a warm and melancholic feeling every time. Coppola does wonders with a small budget and a talented cast and creates moments that are both sweet and refreshing. I can't help but connect and enjoy. Not being a big fan of her acting - *clearing throat* - I can honestly say her film has moved me. Murray should be in every film yet to be made.

A melancholy reverie of the world's most chaste romance, all stolen glances and shy touches (head on a shoulder, fingers grazing her outstretched foot). The soundtrack is as big a key as any as to Sofia Coppola's influences: shoegaze is the music of lonely people trying to find beauty buried beneath the surface. It doesn't matter what Bob said to Charlotte, what matters is that he returned to her to say it: an incantation to give their relationship meaning at the moment of closure.

If Lost in Translation ended after the slow introductory shot of Scarlett Johanssen's scantily clad rear end, this movie would rate 100. However, this movie continues on for two more hours lacking continuity within scenes, likable characters, a compelling plot or respectable pacing, showing why Sofia Coppola should be forced to change her last name before completely disgracing her father's legacy.

Graced by an excellent soundtrack with key cuts from My Bloody Valentine, Air, and Squarepusher that drive the film's best moments, and it's those untranslatable moods that leave a lasting impact. The actual romance would be entirely forgettable if not for the awkward age gap between an 18-year old and a 52-year old. I like that Bill Murray's character has to be famous because why would Scarlett Johansson even look at him twice if he wasn't famous?

A rambling, self indulgent Facebook-status-update of a movie. SEE the usually gorgeous Johanssen as a spoiled brat, the usually brilliant BIll Murray as a hangdog mope. HEAR them whine because nobody understands them. FEEL their boredom despite being in one of the most vibrant cities on Earth. The soundtrack and brain-dead mumbling ending reek of director Sophia Coppola's yearning for indie cred. See it, if only to understand why all the people who rave about it are wrong.

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. I keep watching it over and over and cannot get enough of the mood Coppola evokes so effortlessly. Bill Murray and Johansson had such great, understated chemistry. Will go down as one of the best films of the previous decade, and will definitely be remembered in years to come.

Yea, I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I just don't see what the big deal is. It kept my attention, but I wouldn't call it terribly interesting either. Theres certainly appreciable qualities to the movie, it's well acted and shot, and can be very atmospheric, but when it comes down to it, I just didn't find enough here to really wow me. It's not bad, but I wouldn't go anywhere near calling it great either. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something here.

Incredibly boring story, forgettable characters and dull script go together to create yet another ridiculously overrated Oscar winner. I'm sure the snippets of Tokyo culture are quite well-observed and the cinematography of the city is certainly nice, but aside from a couple of semi-amusing scenes involving Bob 'at work' there's nothing memorable here whatsoever. Perhaps when I'm in the midst of my mid-life crisis and fantasising about beautiful 20 year-olds I'll appreciate it more.

A movie about loneliness and fleeting connections between people. I don't quite understand the accusations of racism, because I think this is also an affectionate homage to not-entirely-inauthetic Japanese weirdness and nightlife. Some of it is clichéd, but let's just imagine this as the inverse of two people from abroad meeting in the strange place that is America; point being, cultural caricature is not necessarily "racist." It is used here simply to emphasize alienation and longing.

Earlier I have thought that some of the japanese jokes and the irritating actress Kelly were too cliché but on my third viewing it all seemed to click. Everything worked for me, and the relationship between Bob and Charlotte must be one of the best romances in film history. It is so subtle and slowly developed that it just feels so real and honest. And of course, Johansson and Murray have never been better. The direction is top-notch, smoothly packing every moment with subtle emotions. Go watch!

Creates an interesting tonal dynamic between intimate & relaxed character drama & distant absurdist comedy. Acting is subtly physical and Murray's effortless prostration plays wonderfully against Johansson's naive perplexity. At times Coppola doesn't quite know how to fill the space and puts in some trivial shots with moody music added in for atmosphere. Mostly however it does build a fantastic setting to contextualize the drama. A very enjoyable work but too thin to quite be called brilliant.

The worst movie ever made. Dull, self involved characters in a story where NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! No one ever says anything interesting, insightful or creative. Worst of all is the cinematography, trying to tell of the emtiness that is their existance through the use of big empty shots. Effective perhaps, but about as interesting as listening to your grandma talk about bowel movements and not half as fun. To see a good execution of what Coppola was trying to do, watch Garden State.

Tokyo as seen through the eyes of the privileged (5* hotels, taxis not trains, even in Tokyo which is basically defined by its train network) and listless. Many people who have been to Tokyo, will likely feel alientated by the protags apparent unending bordem in Tokyo. They were completely apathetic. Bill Murray moments of hilarity make the movie what it is, without him would plod far more. Murray steals the show. Title should be "Tokyo Lost on Snobby Rich Girl (Coppola)".

Kind of boring. It's a film about two people who don't really have any goal in life. Then they meet and they go out and talk a bit. Unfortunately none of this is interesting or thought provoking. The themes could have been handled a lot better. The few points it's trying to make fall flat and so does the humour. The pacing is very slow and there is no satisfying end or change of events. I almost gave up watching about halfway in. I was hoping for some major turnaround but it never came.

Technically this movie is flawless. The plot is great too. It brings true feelings of existential angst.

Except for the brilliant acting of Bill Murray, this film underperforms in every possible way. Starting off with stale "japanese can't discern r and l" and "japanese are crazy pop!" bits that we've seen a million times, it drags on for about half an hour before the actual story begins. It could have been something nice to talk about between friends in real life, but falls flat in the silver screen. On the plus side, Johannson is delightfully chubby and looks really attractive in a pink wig.

The best non-romance Romance film of all time. Also possibly the best Tokyo movie.

Sympathetic film with good pacing and relaxed character roles. Not enough substance or philosophical stress to make it special.

On urban alienation, the breakdown of communication, and more simply an ode to a beautiful city. Sullen and melancholic, but with a sly sense of humor that makes it fun to watch. Murray and Johansson are both wonderful. Coppola keeps us anticipating their embrace with subtlety and taste, no typical movie romance sentimentality being shoved down our throats.

A wonderful homage to companionship, as well as loss. Sofia Coppola delivers the ultimate message, in that it is better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all. But because this is such a different, real, and heart-warming kind of love, the movie is set far ahead of the traditional romance movie. Bill Murray plays one of his best characters.

A really good movie, with one of Bill Murray's finest performances. It can be slow, but that's actually part of its charm. Anna Faris shows up for a brief, but spectacularly funny parody of Cameron Diaz. The movie is funny and moving, and winning. But the ending is breathtaking.

pretentious, hipster posing as insightful; with all its countless photography of Japan, it should be a travelogue for the same clueless tourist it secretly sympathizes with and actually celebrates; if not for countless ethnocentric humor disguised as stranger in strange land, and glib and frankly pointless philosophical posturing, its somewhat rewarding of two lost souls connecting in an unfamiliar land may have been enjoyable. Otherwise, a fail, and EPIC fail for the critics sucked in.

A wonderful film about feeling of absence and loss. The characters being in Japan reveals the feeling they have of being out of place in their life with no direction. It leaves the viewer with a feeling of hope after it drags them through feelings of loneliness and despair.

Lost in Translation is an excellent movie. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson both give great performances. They are essentially what drives this movie, but they alone make it so good. The bond that they develop is just handled perfectly.

90% of this score comes from the inclusion of Scarlett Johansson's ass at the beginning of the film. It on indeed a fine ass.

When I think back on it I realize it was easy to remember: it had Bill Murray and Scarlet Johnson in Japan (that summarizes all three plot points).

I genuinely like the film. I just can't understand why people like it so much. They found more magical content and stuff, I guess. The movie is really good but you know... Anyway, very soft storytelling about two lonely person. It's nice to see the intimate connection of the two.

Fuck all the people who are so sure that this movie is pretentious. Quiet does not mean pretentious. Refusing to map out each character's every emotion is not pretentious. Shunning overblown musical scores and camera tricks is not pretentious. Writing a strong, heart-felt film is not pretentious.

A touchingly realistic romantic comedy. Nuanced and subtle it creates something aside from simple sexual tension.

Mistakes - 1) In the street scene where the campaigning car passes by, Bob's shoes turn from black to brown after he crosses the street. 2) At the karaoke, when Charlotte leaves the room for a smoke and Bob joins her, her head is next to the grey part of the wall. Cut to a front shot of them and her head is now on the zebra-patterned part.
