Lost in Translation Sofia Coppola Touching Movie, Incredibly Funny and Painfully Sad. Bill Murray is the protagonist of Sofia Coppola's movie, she says she wrote the role especially for him. She received the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and the film also ran for an Oscar. It evokes an incredibly funny movie, painfully sad, as well as very modern and sexy. Murray (in one of the most exquisitely controlled performances, he seems to exist, just exist, in the character and situation created for him by Sofia Coppola) plays Bob, a former movie star staying at a luxury hotel in Tokyo 'Hyatt Tokyo', where he's filming a Japanese whiskey commercial 'Suntory Scoth'. In the scene, the Japanese advertising director speaks a huge Japanese sentence, while the translator translates a very short sentence for Bob. Bob despises himself for doing this, he is aware that the big reason for it, besides the money, is to get rid of a marriage that is getting dreary, twenty-five years of marriage. Meanwhile, in another part of the hotel, Charlote (Scarlett Johansson), is a thoughtful young woman. She has been married for just two years to John, a famous photographer (Giovanni Ribisi). Jhon is on a job where he's taking pictures of a trendy indie band and Charlote has agreed to come along to Tokyo and have fun as best he can and also see friends of both of them in Tokyo while John is working. But disturbed by the clamoring strangeness of Tokyo's soaring buildings, Charlotte experiences a flash of panic about her own life. What is she doing here? Does she know so much about her husband? Her despondency increases when she and John in the hotel lobby meet an American Hollywood actress "Woman", and John is very excited to photograph her and go out together, remember he is a famous celebrity photographer. Charlotte is a Yale graduate in Philosophy. During a tense conversation with John's friends at the bar, Charlotte makes eye contact with Bob, who is drinking himself into oblivion there every night, assiduously preserving the integrity of his disdain. Bob is in a midlife crisis. Charlotte is really trying to figure out what she wants out of life. Bob's smile is irresistible, and soon they are hanging out, having fun, sharing a great private joke on the madness of Japan, thus increasing a growing tenderness between them. At the party where Charlotte takes Bob, Modern party and very modern Japanese friends, the owner of the apartment where the party is 'going on', it was he who decorated the whole apartment and also painted, there is one who is a surfer, there is another who speaks in French with Bob, a modern soundtrack in the background, a karaoke where the best Pop Rock sing, as I said the party is super modern. Both can't sleep o, "jet leg" affects them. 'Lance Acord', the director of photography, frames Charlotte in a large 40-story Hotel window, with Tokyo remotely at her feet. She feels young, alone and exposed. It shows Bob inscrutably looking ahead, feeling older, tired, patient, unexposed because he has a more secure sense of who he is. Bob and Charlotte's grand adventure hits a lovely setting when they confess their most personal fears to each other while lying on a bed, where a little finger, Charlotte's injured toe, touches the side of Bob's foot. And when Bob tells her when her children were born. Charlotte asks, "I'm stuck, it gets easier"? (It's about life and marriage). Bob responds: "Yes, it gets easier", "The more you know what you want, the less things are bothersome". And they both manage to sleep, after sleepless days. Charlotte says, "We'll never come back here again", "Because it will never be so much fun again". That connection must never be relived beyond this delicately ecstatic moment. The words whispered in Charlotte's ear by Bob. We cannot hear them. It feels meaningful and true to both of them. Before they parted forever. Lost in Translation is a delicately sensitive, existential film about a great friendship where two generations meet, where one learns from the other. Exchanging information about existential crisis, life, joy, fun. You won't be able to take your attention away from the movie. The photography is beautiful. Ditto soundtrack. A touching movie. A wonderfully warm and witty love-sharing story. Where you will feel lighter than air.
