No idea. It's a genuinely great movie looking at loneliness, alienation and camaraderie set in a city everyone here seemingly loves. Maybe because the characters are rich like in every Sofia Coppola story?
years after i saw it first time i noticed how artificial emotional it seems to me now.
their original partners seem almost comical surreal moronic and superficial that you cannot take their dilemma seriously anymore.
when you see "somewhere" which is like a lost in translation in usa but with father/daugther you get that lost in translations success wa a happy accident.
Somewhere is just plain garbage though. Lost in translation is two people randomly connecting and exploring that connection. Somewhere is two people already connected not exploring their connection.
Not to mention how somewhere is, basically >dude being an actor is like, hard. I have obligations and stuff and the strippers won’t let me frick them!
Because it's boring as frick and I have no sympathy for a spoiled, young, hot, rich white girl who's complaining about being lonely in a foreign country. And Bill Murray is annoying to me. Most overrated movie of all time and Sofia COPElla sucks shit.
lmao this >hmmm my successful photographer boyfriend is taking me around the world while i do contribute literally nothing except moping around
peak roastie bullshit
I don’t hate it but it does validate my opinion that all women are prostitutes and will still cheat emotionally even if they don’t physically.
That’s why I only forge real relationships with masculine men and sate any physical urges with prostitutes.
/tv/posters derive their ego and self worth from being lonely and depressed and that being special. It makes them special. The idea that these feelings are normal and part of the human condition is offensive. Attractive or even vaguely functional people are like aliens, have nothing to do with you, and must live happy lives.
I can't have empathy for rich people. You don't have to be in fricking whiskey commercials. You don't have to be in Tokyo for no particular reason.
I empathise with people who have actual problems. You've got cancer? That must be tough. Your dad just died? That probably sucks. You're lonely? Oh, do frick off.
It's written by a rich c**t who never experienced a bad day in her life. It's not surprising that the demographic that appreciates this movie the most is Gen X and Millennial white women who were raised in upper-middle-to-upper class white suburbia.
Virgin Suicides is like this too. Oh no it's just so hard being a hot white girl with nothing to worry about, better kms dramatically.
>white women who were raised in upper-middle-to-upper class
And the demographic who has given the world the best American art music movies and literature ever made
I enjoyed it for a bit. But I've never appreciated the 'old man with a happy life chicken hawks young girl'. How am I supposed to enjoy the thought of older men taking women from my own dating pool simply by virtue of their age and greater resource acquiremrnt and so on.
I'm not the anon you're replying to but do you have any stats to back that up? Suicide is statistically rare as it is, and last I read up on suicide stats, most people who do it in the anglosphere are not living ostensibly 'good' lives. They're either destitute, have mental illness (actual mental illness), elderly, have physical health problems, or otherwise middle-lower class. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure as hell can prevent the misery and stress that worrying about money brings.
>how do you explain the large number of people who live ostensibly 'good' lives and commit suicide?
Good times breed soft morons. But honestly, I don't know. I've experienced essentially no real hardship in my life, I coast through everything, I have no friends, but every day is fantastic. I'll never be able to understand how anyone is depressed, just go do something else if you're not feeling it, dude.
It was my favorite movie for awhile, but as I got older it just turned into a movie I still like a lot, but is no longer my favorite. I still think it's great.
They need to start making zombie movies that are literally just normal romcoms until about 2/3rds into the film. I would pay good money to see My Best Friend's Wedding... And Zombies. Scar Jo can be a zombie extra.
It's the ultimate boomer fantasy, and it's a shit fantasy that doesn't hold up. Murray is a wreck but we're supposed to believe he's got this young woman madly in love with him. Now this is the tricky part...can they write a convincing dialogue that shows us how he does that? No it doesn't. Instead we get shots where he's murmering stuff to her that's apparently quite moving but we'll never get a chance to judge that for ourselves since it's out of range. Because frankly there's nothing he could say to her that would be that moving or the screenplay writer wasn't talented enough to cook something plausible up. Either way the movie was a bust and there was one touch where it disgusted me where he says to her "let's watch (some fellini movie...La Dolce Vita? 81/2? I forget) Like a girl of her generation is going to watch an old old black and white movie with subtitles with and old man? haha...
It's a jack off movie for aging boomers. Almost as bad as a guy in his 60's I know that won $12.5 million in the lottery and ran right out and bought a Camaro and then started to hustle hot broads barely in their 20's. He'd try to get them drunk on vodka while he regaled them enthusiastically with his collection of Beatles records. The girl who was a tough hot b***h just nodded along with it laughing in his face and he thought this meant she too loved the Beatles.
A lot of guys get to be 15 and then they just enjoy being 15 so much that they never want to be one year older for the rest of their lives.
I suppose Bill should have rolled out his Simon and Garfunkle records for her. Bookends was melancholy enough for this sad funeral of boomer jackoffism.
Sounds like you got curved by a girl you liked, who decided to frick an old man instead. Or got outright cucked by an old man who took your girl from you because he has more money and more confidence.
I'm not defending the movie btw because I think it sucks ass. I just think you're off base about who likes this movie and making up something to serve as a vehicle for your boomer hate boner.
Born in 1953. I'm older than the lottery boy by a year. Obviously who else even among gen x knows or cares about Simon and Garfunkel records? I can't stand boomer infantilism. I despise people who sit there endlessly oozing over Jim Morrison concerts or the Rolling Stones. Remember that romantic old codger Rod Stewart? He plays with toy trains and his train set is expensive elaborate and shite even as a train set. And how about those cutting edge daring Rolling Stones? Bill Wyman married a 12 year old girl! But he's a super hip intellectual right? oops nope he has a metal detector and he wanders the grubby trampled parks of England looking for lost coins and rings.
The movie was a massive sop to the same audience that pays $650 for a ticket at a Fleetwood Mac concert to relive their boring cocaine addled youth.
1) it was her first movie
2) it would have been extremely hard to follow in her fathers footsteps
3) ever heard of artistic integrity?
4) you missed the point of the film ENTIRELY
5) this was both a mainstream success AND a cult classic
6) kindly stop posting and rethink your life
You got it backwards. Young women, at the time and maybe even now, liked this movie because it fed into their narcissism and told them they're smarter, more wise, and more unique than they actually are. Young upper class white women love feeling so dramatically in emotional distress and carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, all in an effort to garner even more attention or to boost their already inflated egos. Sofia Coppola channels this for that demographic superbly, which is why I get why they like it.

I'm right. I've been on the internet since this movie came out, in places where movies are discussed. I know what I'm talking about. This movie is explicitly for girls 18-30 years old.
Let me consult the peer-reviewed Harvard study on the demographics of the fans of the 2004 film Lost In Translation.
I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm right. Go on any major movie discussion forum/site on the internet in the past 17 years. IMDB, RT, reddit, letterboxd, etc. The largest demographic for this movie is pretentious middle-upper class white women who went to college. What do you think it is, 30 year old neckbeards? 12 year old boys? Right-wing middle aged males? Get real.

>white upper middle class women
Yeah and they make the best art literature and film there are. Sofia Copolla surpasses her father in every way.
I hated it because its true. A girl with a man who doesn't appreciate her or ignores her 100% will have an unattractive rich intelligent interesting msn swoop in to lavish the attention she wants from Chad.
>hear 'More Than This' on the radio multiple times over the years and love it but never able to track it down for various reasons despite fruitless attempts to find it online with scant clues and even detailed chord progressions (guitargay) >finally discover one day its a roxy music song >great >literally the next day am linked on here to a clip of Bill kareokeing it

Wasn't it just one of them that wouldn't frick him but her twin sister was?
Yea but like, he’s an actor! They should both be DTF! Otherwise WTF!
His life is truly suffering.
Because it's boring as frick and I have no sympathy for a spoiled, young, hot, rich white girl who's complaining about being lonely in a foreign country. And Bill Murray is annoying to me. Most overrated movie of all time and Sofia COPElla sucks shit.

They want to frick prime ScarJo, that's all it is.

oh boy, imagine being so emotionally fragile that a fictional movie would make you think and act like this...

i don't really like movies where the character is portrayed as "lonely" and "sad" despite leading a normal life with people constantly around him.
how do you explain the large number of people who live ostensibly 'good' lives and commit suicide?
that kinda thing can't be fake its like chopping your wiener off they're clearly not faking when they take it that far.
I'm not the anon you're replying to but do you have any stats to back that up?

They're spoiled brats or were murdered
should have been Tom Hanks instead of this hack
Ew. No. Bill Murray was def better
It was my favorite movie for awhile, but as I got older it just turned into a movie I still like a lot, but is no longer my favorite. I still think it's great.
This didn't happen have a happy ending with slightly similar concept. A b***h a pretending like they didn't know you after all that.
>slightly similar concept
It's basically the exact opposite.
It's a solid film. Soundtrack is the best thing about it
i don't like that the main characters are so racist but other than that i like it

Just not true. In my eyes Sofia is the best of the best no thanks to the critics ( Marie Antoinette was booed by Cannes audience).
>boomer fantasy
Correct.
i havent even seen it brought up in years on this hell site. not much to pick from it to fit in the reactionary propaganda poisoning the cumskins here
Perfect example of dishonest filmmaking
Why do we hate ourselfs ?
Why would i hate absolute kino that also have naked ass of 17yo scarlet
It's a 10 and the fact it pisses off pity pigs is a tasty bonus
The only thing that pisses me off about it is that
1. I spent hard earned money to see it
2. I wasted 90 minutes plus travel time to see it.
if Lost in Translation is a .01 then PeeWee's Big Adventure was a 10.
Aww sounds like you had a rough time.
I watched it with a Japanese guy and it was embarrassing to see how arrogant we were with his culture. I hate damn weebs but I also hate arrogance.
He didn't care though he was six foot & confident like a jock.
I loved it in theaters, but I rewatched it a year ago and it seemed grating. Especially at the beginning.
I hated it because its true. A girl with a man who doesn't appreciate her or ignores her 100% will have an unattractive rich intelligent interesting msn swoop in to lavish the attention she wants from Chad.
How come Sophia Coppola is disliked but Wes Anderson is loved?
Is it because she is a woman?
She isn't disliked and Anderson makes better movies, though I'm not a fan of his twee bullshit either.
YES; plus she's pretty and rich while Snderson is a Zuckerberg nerd (might as well be poor)
Garbage
I don’t know but this board is filled with morons so it’s best not to take them seriously.
