I have a pretty good attention span when it comes to movies... I'm not one who falls asleep during a movie. Lost In Translation just didn't seem to have any points, and when it ended, I didn't get it.

The points where streched across the whole film in subtle ways. They are certainly not obvious, and it is really not a juvinile film, but they are there for you to catch, if you are paying attention. It's a beautifull piece of art if you can catch whats going on. I suppose it might take a bit of experience with human relationships to understand, but who does'nt have that experience? Just tune into what you know about human interaction, relationships, and people, and you should have a better chance at getting into this movie.

Mmm...I'm not sure.  Maybe a part of me is more judgemental towards situations and events then I want to admit.  If something doesn't capture my interest immediantly, I discount it and move onto something else.  Obviously this means I miss out on stuff that is actually pretty good.  My husband has been trying to help me have more patience.  I'm learning.  :smile:

right on :thumbup:

you should just try laying on your back and watching clouds morph and evolve and fade for long periods of time (hour +) - try to just watch clouds and not think about anything but the clouds. you'll be able to focus better with practice...

Welcome to shortcut, gratification on a platter, hollywoodized America! If you would like a perfect portrayal of how screenplays get bastardized by placating to the lowest common denominator, watch "Adaptation", it is a present time walk through of this (such an amazing film).
I have found movies leaving the path of thought provoking and onto the path of mindless indulgence, where everything explodes, everything is hyper-dramatic, a super-nova soap opera. People want the explanation handed to them, which is the equivalent of Dali drawing/writing a summary of what his paintings are supposed to mean somewhere on the actual painting.

Now that that rant is over......
What i meant by erosion of culture is that the japanese way of life is becoming sadly americanized, much like The Last Samurai. There is a strong correlation between the relationship of Bill Murray and the girl, and that of Japan and America; almost going as far to say that japan is in its midlife crisis, dipping its toes back into the pool of blissful ignorance and abandon of youth. I think most Americans have a strong respect and affinity for japan and its people/land/culture, as well as much of Japan likes our way of life; the two affinities are for different reasons, we see the calm, focused, diligent and strong nature of the Japanese, and they see a vibrant, youthful hedonism that isnt repressed and squashed by the overbearing taboo's. Just as Scarlett admired Bill, and vice versa....

well, thats what I got from watching that movie atleast.

I loved the film, but yes, it didn't have quite a "point", it's beauty came from the filming itself and the relation between the characters.
It's not like they had to defeat a "bad guy", it shows real life struggles between real people.

To me it talked about loneliness, hope, the feeling of being out of place and trying to find yourself again... but always in a beautiful yet slowly paced way.

I'd love to hear some opinions on this, since I'm from Spain I can't read her lips accurately...that was a beautiful detail, let it to our imagination :heart:

So, what do you think she whispered?

Exactly!

My girlfriend and I went to see it when we were in Canada last time. So many good reviews we figured it was a "can't miss" kinda deal. We both were bored to tears by it. When we were walking out we were both complaining how boring it was and she said to me, "Well... if you found it so boring, why didn't you suggest we leave?". I asked why SHE didn't suggest we leave. She said, "I figured it was going to get better. I mean, it couldn't get much worse, right? And all the reviewers seemd to love it, so...."

Yes, there was a total of about ten or fifteen minutes of decent stuff in there. I can't deny that. But what an overhyped yawn-fest it really is.
