psilocyberin said: Lost in Translation isnt a chick flick. Chick flicks are Gilmore Girls type rapid fire dialogue where there is atleast one romantic make out session in the rain after some dramatic fight over dumb shit girls get dramatic about. Lost in Translation was primarily about an erosion of culture. This movie has more in common with The Last Samurai than it does with any chick flick. So far everything that Focus Films has come out with is absolutly brilliant. For those that didnt like it, try going back and watching it with erosion of culture in mind, i promise it will make much more sense to you.
Finnaly someone who knows what they are talking about!
To categorize this film as a chick flick, to me at least, shows a lack of depth in preception and understanding of art.
But what the hell do I know?

in a coffee shop in a city which is every coffee shop in every city on a day which is every day i pick up a magazine which is every magazine and read a story then forgot it right away
they say goldfish have no memory i guess their lives are much like mine the little plastic castle is a surprise every time it's hard to say if they are happy but they don't seem much to mind
from the shape of your shaved head i recognized your silhoutte as you walked out of the sun and sat down and the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people as they paused to snear at the two girls from out of town
and i said "look at you this morning you are by far the cutest but be careful getting coffee i think these people wanna shoot us or maybe there's some kind of local competition here to see who can be the rudest"

what's the correct percentage? 90% 85% Scarlett Johanson could be a supermodel. In real life girls like that affix themselves to guys who are very goodlooking, or very successful financially. girls are always cast unrealistically in films, always very goodlooking, except for character actresses like you know Julianna Moore, who is also very goodlooking, we just pretend she is a regular gal cause she doesn't have the cookie cutter supermodel features. beautiful women are cast in roles where they are asked to play women with regular lives full of conflict and struggle, it's hard for me to believe because beautiful people have it all laid out for them on a silver platter from birth to death.. or maybe not. so i'm ignorant and this and that and the other, ok well enlighten me then. or keep throwing insults. I don't give a hoot. i'm just waiting for my sleeping pill to take effect. it is interesting to me though that a female likes A Clockwork Orange. I had a girlfriend who hated that movie, and resented me for not hating it with her. And she dumped me but since then I've come to realize that yes, a person should dislike A Clockwork Orange. it sort of glorifies violence and rape.. or maybe not.

I am emptywisdom to criticize, I have my opinions like anyone else, and if some come across as critical, so be it, they certainly are on some level. I'm really not trying to offend you. And if this is what is happening I appologize for my lack of class.
Keep trying, youhave great opinions, I just don't agree with the ones I have observed here, and (again, guess I'm being critical, oh fucking well) I find some of your posted conclusions to be a bit ignorant. This is just my opinion, give it as much credit as you like. Mabey you are makeing brilliant points and I'm just missing them, who knows? I don't see it that way, and I'm not afraid to let it be known. If you take this as personal critisism, so be it, I can't help that, I'm just giveing my two cents.
I send my blessings to you. once again, good luck with the sleeping pill, I hope it's everything and more than you anticipated

lookism shmookism you wanna talk about lookism how about the lookism of when someone starts being disliked in the beginning, it just spirals from there.
if my 3rd from last post, or i don't know what number, but the ones where i tried to say good, positive things, had been said by someone else, someone new to this thread, then they might very well have been quoted with a thumbsup icon by you or emptywisdom but instead they're ignored because they were said by me who earlier and later said negative things which you disagreed with..
and so i'm bad bad bad, ignorant ignorant ignorant, that all my efforts to communicate are empty..cruel cruel words sir.... hey well, that's too bad, i wish i were a better person.. explain to me your lookism term, if you want you can use what i've said in this thread but no more cause you don't know what i'm like in real life, just what i've said in this thread...

I didn't like Lost in Translation. Maybe I needed to be stoned to truly appreciate it or something but when I saw it I was bored out of my mind.
/short attention span.

well i'm definitely not making brilliant posts at the moment. honestly i guess im probably trolling, i think is what they call it. certainly not using commas correctly. i just you know, i just wanted to say that i liked lost in translation but i focus on the negative cause that's more interesting to me and fighting on the internet is alright, it's more interesting than forums where everyone is required to be really friendly and positive

You take offense to easily, I don't know if you're insecure or just a bit pissed off today.

insecure and pissed off, both both both, but i'm getting really sleepy now and that's a very welcome feeling. sleep is a good good thing. when you don't have much you learn to appreciate some things which other people don't...appreciate so much, i'm not gonna say people take it for granted, cause i don't know...i just know that when life is down sleep is welcome...for me..

it is a slow movie, slow pace to it, but i think that's it's beauty, saying a lot with a little. i think someone above said the same thing already, i want to give credit where credit is due. maybe i'll leave it like that, end this long sunday on a postivive note.

WEll, I'll probably watch it again someday, just to try and figure out what I'm missing!
