after i read this, it sounds far more mean-spirited and antagonizing than what was intended...maybe i need to start using more Smileys.

It takes far less energy to criticize something than to support it? That sounds like phooey to me. Most critics really liked LOT, it's easy to just regurgitate what they said, all their praise. I started this thread to praise the movie and point out the one part that made it less believable than it could've been and to see if anyone agreed.
You just spent your whole post criticizing that other person's reaction to Lost in Translation so I guess you must be a lazy shroomery poster or something?? No I don't think that, I'm just trying to ...alright you know what it's time for bed again.

My objection to lost in translation was this: "I don't care".

This is my objection to 99% of movies.

First of all, you didnt get it.... sorry, but you still have yet to get it, even with everyone pointing it out. I really despise it when people make flagrant negative objections to movies/art/music (since it takes far less thought to criticize something than support it) with no real basis, and then hop on the "very personal thing"/"art is subjective" defense. There was something to "get" with that movie, as with most art.... blah blah blah more of the same.....


Looks like you aren't "getting" what I have been saying. I'm not saying the movie didn't have a message. It had a message. So fucking what? That doesn't mean it was a good movie. It wasn't a good movie. It was a freaking boring-ass movie.

I find it amusing you go on and on about my supposed inability to "get" the message of that movie while you yourself illustrate your inability to get the message of my posts -- a substantially easier task. Just in case you missed my message in my first several posts, here it is again -- the movie was BORING.

There are thousands of movies out there with "messages". Most are mediocre, some are great, many are turkeys. Having a message to convey does not automatically make a movie a good movie.

As for your claim that so many people had "pointed out" the message the movie had to convey, a review of the thread will reveal that I was actually the first one to mention anything at all about what the message actually was. Most previous comments had been of the "Mang, you're too stoopid to GET it" variety, not taking the time to ever point out what "it" actually was. For all we know, those making the claim didn't "get it" either:

"Ha ha, you doof -- I got it and you didn't. But I'm not going to prove that I got it by spelling it out, you'll just have to take my word for it." For all we know, those claiming to have "gotten it" think the message was that Japanese people act funny.

Was there a message conveyed by the movie? Sure.

Was that message conveyed in an interesting or insightful manner? Nope.

Was the message conveyed through adept character development, plotting, or symbolism? Nope.

Was the importance of the message being conveyed able to overcome the massive boredom induced in the audience? Nope. Even though my girlfriend and I stuck it out to the bitter end, many in the audience at the showing I saw didn't bother. There were a lot of walkouts.

I've seen dozens of good and even great movies about human relationships. Lost in Translation isn't one of them.

That's "Mozart".

Speaking of Mozart, rent "Amadeus". Now THAT was a good movie.

first off, ok, a girl as pretty as the actress who played the main girl, and a girl who is also smart like that girl, would never have married an effeminate guy like her husband in the movie in the first place

Huh? Dude, that kind of petty bullshit might apply in high school, but girls grow up, and their tastes change. Go to any big city, find the trendy part of town, and notice how pants-soilingly hot the girlfriends of the makeup-wearing skinny emo dudes are.

Maybe I'm not empathetic enough to like this movie...?

I'll admit, I'm not. I have a problem with considering other people's feelings sometimes.  :rolleyes:

As long as you are content with your boredom....Ill just leave you with some quotes....


Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure. -Aldous Huxley

When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored. -Eric Hoffer

Boredom: the desire for desires. -Leo Tolstoy

Boredom comes from a boring mind. -Metallica

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other. -Susan Sontag

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is. -Thomas Szasz

YAY! it was boring.....YOU WON!

are you addressing that sarcasm at me?

You keep berating people for their negativity. That's called hypocrisy. You keep talking down to people cause they don't like Lost in Translation. That's called being a snob. Relax. Don't be so mean.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I am a snob...but I am aware of it atleast.

I am not being mean, or insulting people because I think I am better than them. I am berating the apathetic submission to boredom and loss of enthusiasm. It is much like you going to a keg party, paying your 5 dollars (or whatever) and getting pissed off because you were bored and didnt get laid.... Whose fault is that?

This movie was terrible. So terrible. Soooo boring. The only good scenes were when the girl was in her underwear because she is pretty hot, but otherwise it was so pathetic. There is nothing worse than a HORRIBLE movie that screams "LOOK AT MY LACK OF CONTENT AND PRETEND ITS DEEP AND EMOTIONAL". Makes me sick!
