Hi, i saw Lost In Translation for the first time last night. I couldn't catch the last thing Bill Murray says in the movie. What does he say to her? Does anyone know? Can someone help me out?

You're not really meant to know what he said. But if you try real hard you can make out "tell him the truth, ok?". What comes before that is anyone's guess.

Maybe that fro is interfering with your brainwaves or something. I about fell asleep watching that stink-fest.
Yeah...he's a washed up actor in mid-life crisis who has family problems. She's a young and lonely wife who has to deal with her inattentive husband. They meet and click. Who the f#@& cares! I was sitting around waiting for something to blow up or at least some decent sex action. I'm too macho for movies like this. 
The only funny part was during the commercial shoot when the Japanese director would go on long-winded rants and it turns out he was only saying a few things.

See, you focused on the plot. This is a character study, one of the best I've ever seen.
Through careful selection of angles, a simply awe-inspiring knack for timing, and by finding an actor and actress who simply clicked on every level, Sofia Coppola managed to recreate the silence of the human experience, of interaction, connection, and never saying the things you always want to say. The film was body language.

I'm going to repay the book you're giving me in Canada with a movie, another film about connections between people. But this one's a documentary.

So nothing gets blown up in it? 
For the love of God please make it more interesting than Lost in Translation.

i know you're joking around but i don't get how appreciatives of the psychedelic way can tolerate all the bullshit hollywood puts out.
give me great dialogues and (not in the case of this movie) interesting plots over fucking Jack Bauer and explosions any day.
I thought it was a great little film..... you have to learn to find appreciation beyond immediate stimulus reponse and instant gratification that comes from these formulaic hollywood travesities.
lost in translation was good... not great... but good.
I suppose action films are good for once in a while though but for the most part I can't tolerate it, they're all the same to me.
I did like watching the Island though..... it was a good movie that contained explosions.

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

this actually has to do with the lack of correct literal translation which goes on in japan. one japanese american i know said its exactly like that everywhere you go in japan, and most of their english signs are horribly wrong... and for a country which does so much international business, etc. it really can cause alot of problems.
also i know many japanese people who are here to learn english, and ive never seen a such a large group from the same race do so miserble at learning a language! the only japanese person i know who can speak good understandable english is the one who was born in chicago....
