DVD Reviews of Lost in Translation
DVD Review: You will definately fall in love with this film!
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing, beautifull and sweet would be the few initial words to comment on this film. Yet another film having a wonderfull and strong chemistry between the two co-stars. Bill Murray at his best, he is an amazing person to watch on screen, he will steal your glance every moment, Scarlett Johansson delivers a very sattisfying performence as well, she was pretty bold and admirable in this film, you just can't lift your eyes off her, what's more... a wonderfull chemistry, neat and decent acting and direction. You can't lift your eyes off the pair in the film. Go ahead, give it a watch, you won't be dissapointed. Its a lovely film. You will realize Friendship is a unique relationship. DVD Review: this movie is about falling in love
Summary: 5 Stars
To me this movie is about those sacred moments when you meet somebody and you silently and slowly fall in love.
You don't talk about it, to nobody, not even your partner!, and to some extent you don't even think about it...to the extent that it could take days before you *realize* that you are in love...
In a Zen-like-state of mind stillness, your are sometimes to afraid to 'move', fearing that you may destroy that moment.
Trying to describe these moments and feelings is impossible, and the real meaning of these moments and feelings gets lost in translation when you try to put it into words.
In my mind, his last words to her before leaving for the airport, was:
"I will get divorced, and then come back for you."
DVD Review: I'd Put It Among The Top Ten Films Of The Decade
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally astonished about how great Lost in Translation was and how much I enjoyed it. Why on earth I waited all these years to see it is beyond me. I couldn't decide whether the real star here was Tokyo itself or the movie's magnificently sketched characters. I truly think this was Bill Murray's role of a lifetime and worthy of an Oscar, and here as no where else Scarlett Johansson showed she is one of the most talented young actresses in the business today. Hats off to everyone involved in making this delightful film!DVD Review: The straw that broke the Oscar's back
Summary: 2 Stars
I hold Bill Murray in high regards. He's simply one of the best comedic actors of the last few generations. His timing and mannerisms are impeccable. Similarly, Scarlett Johansson's young career has proven that her talent precedes her, and she's not a bad actress either. Add in the concept and chemistry between the two, and this should have been a can't-miss movie. Should have been a movie that actually deserved the praise and recognitions it received. Instead, it's boring.
The plot is as simple as the movie is boring. Platonic love between an aging American star (Murray) and a bored, young girlfriend (Johansson) of a Canadian photographer on assignment in Japan. When the two link up, they test the limits of an audience's attention span while dragging around this corpse of a movie like it's a sequel to Weekend at Bernie's.
Oh, look! It's Bill bored. Hey! It's Scarlett bored! They're both lonely as well. Yaaaawn. Someone needs to hook these two up with an internet connection and a social networking website. Or better yet, how about a Tokyo tour-guide!? They're each disconsolate, not to mention lacking curiosity and imagination. After a few chance encounters at a bar, they morph into pseudo-soulmates - the connection within the movie is never really established.
The plot is underdeveloped at best, and the dialogue is so bad it causes aneurisms. I think Murray and Johansson did what they could with the script they were given (because the acting is fine), but the writing/directing from Sofia Coppola is pathetic (no way she gets even a nomination if not for her last name). The pacing of this movie is slightly slower than a glacial drift, and it's nearly as agonizing as being water-boarded.
And before anyone leaves me the comment, I get it. It's not that complicated. It's simply uninteresting and undeserving of all the credit. Somehow, a movie was created which caused my disinterest in not only the classically hilarious Bill Murray, but also the voluptuous vixen Scarlett Johannsen. Before this movie, I would have thought it as likely as seeing Keanu Reeves hold an Oscar. Speaking of which...
The epitome of politically and financially driven recognition, the fact that this movie won an Academy Award is proof that the awards are grotesquely tainted.
DVD Review: Wonderful, lovely, sweet, deep
Summary: 5 Stars
This film captures that feeling of being lonely in a crowded room. It's beautifully subtle, but not above having fun. The jazz singer character is hilarious, as is the American action movie starlet. Favorite line: "...he's using product in his hair and I don't know who I married." LOL. I liked it when it first came out, but watching it again now I really feel it.
Description of Lost in Translation
5000 miles from home bob harris is facing a mid-life crisis when these two lonely americans cross paths in a tokyo bar their chance encounter sparks a series of hilarious adventures creating an unexpected connection that might not last but will stay with them forever Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Bill Murray Run time: 102 minutes Rating: RLike a good dream, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation envelops you with an aura of fantastic light, moody sound, head-turning love, and a feeling of d?j? vu, even though you've probably never been to this neon-fused version of Tokyo. Certainly Bob Harris has not. The 50-ish actor has signed on for big money shooting whiskey ads instead of doing something good for his career or his long-distance family. Jetlagged, helplessly lost with his Japanese-speaking director, and out of sync with the metropolis, Harris (Bill Murray, never better) befriends the married but lovelorn 25-year-old Charlotte (played with heaps of poise by 18-year-old Scarlett Johansson). Even before her photographer husband all but abandons her, she is adrift like Harris but in a total entrapment of youth. How Charlotte and Bill discover they are soul mates will be cherished for years to come. Written and directed by Coppola (The Virgin Suicides), the film is far more atmospheric than plot-driven: we whiz through Tokyo parties, karaoke bars, and odd nightlife, always ending up in the impossibly posh hotel where the two are staying. The wisps of bittersweet loneliness of Bill and Charlotte are handled smartly and romantically, but unlike modern studio films, this isn't a May-November fling film. Surely and steadily, the film ends on a much-talked-about grace note, which may burn some, yet awards film lovers who "always had Paris" with another cinematic destination of the heart. --Doug Thomas
