Coppola wanted this to be in the film because in one of her other works, The Virgin Suicides, it happened to her all the time. She would tell her translator something and she felt he would talk for too long, as if he was adding things. She found it amusing.

One a the best movies made. The humor is their, its under the surface a little but still there.
Like when the Scarlett shoves her pussy right in Giovanni's face and he doesn't even look up from his cameras all the while talking about that dumb model bitch. What a fucking dumb ass. It was I think intended to make evident his aloofness and her melancholy towards her husband.
Then Bill Murry told Scarlett the reason they mixed up their l's and r's was just for shits and giggles, next thing you know he is being attacked by the hooker.
"Lik my stockings, lik them." she is tugging at them and grinding on him.
He's like what, Lick your stockings.
She really wanted him to rip them. That shit was funny.
There was also your not so covert herb references, like when he asked the Japanese designer what kind a weed they were smoking during the karaoke machine. Or the when his wife called him at 4 20 8in the mourning, cause it was 4 20 in the afternoon for her.
The soundtrack was pretty cool.
All in all it was a great movie. The acting was superb and the character study deep and poignant.

didn't they do shrooms to?
i saw people taking shrooms off a plate in a club....
does that happen in Japan? Because I looked it up a while ago and shrooms are actually illegal

Shrooms were legal in Japan until about a couple of years ago.
