I remember being 13 when I saw this in theaters and thinking it was bad because 'nothing happens', and now I'm 31 and it breaks my heart and is one of my favorite films ever. Strange how time changes things.
I was 15 when this came out. I liked it then and now, but as a 34 year old....it hits differently. Once we get older and go through life experiences, we tend to understand these characters' feelings and emotions. This is one of those films I think everyone should watch when they're 12 or 13. Then, they should watch it again in 15 - 20 years. To see how their opinion of the film can change from a teenagers point of view to a 30 something year old.
I'm 15 and I just watched it for the first time tonight, I really loved it and I could understand a lot of the emotions but I also feel like my understanding would deepen when I'm older
Only a bunch of people understand the meaning of this great film. We meet special people in strange environment. Spend a great time together. Find out the meaning of life. Share our hearts and thoughts. We go in different directions. But we never forget this time. Memories never dies. They stand forever.
I agree and I feel the same about Fleabag- there is hope in love and if you are having a rotten day and feel SO ALONE, if you've ever met a special person, that love stays forever. Maybe it's my age but I disagree with those who say "doomed". As you said, not many seem to have gotten the point. Namaste from Romantic in Canada ( and a Forever Bill Murray Fan)
I definitely know what you are saying. This has happened twice in my life and the chemistry between me and both women was great. We just in our brief moments of life felt something which was wonderful. No sex or hook up just pure chemistry between parties.
No sex, fights, or any horrific scenes, but this movie with this ending is still in my chest for years, and maybe forever. Other blockbusters didn't give me this kind of burden :)
I met a girl in japan and it was just like this. We spent a few glorious days together and then she flew to australia. She was a stewardess. I never saw her again. I used to be sad about it, but now I see it differently. We got to fall in love with each other and STAY in love. I got to experience the best of her and she got to experience the best of me. We parted ways while we were still young, beautiful, in love, and immortal. Filled with the dream of youth. And that is how I will always remember her. It is a gift.
i had something similar. but i met a korean girl in germany. after living almost exactly the same things as this movie and same goodbye. i changed my whole life in brazil to go after her. moved to germany , to korea. We didnt work out. Now i dont even have any contact with her.
So many moments in life where you say a temporary goodbye. Then fall into that sadness and depression of being without that person. You always question how you said your goodbye, I wish something like this could happen every time.
I have just finished watching this film and loved and cried at it. But am I the only one who viewed their relationship as a friendship rather than a romance - but a connection probably far deeper and important than any romance?
I find it could be somewhere in between romance and deeper personal connection. They both feel uncertain what it really was but they do know it is something. This is what makes the whole movie so powerful and emotinal.
An "impossible" relationship given their circumstances, but caring and loving nonetheless. When they kiss to say goodbye, it was very respectful and not lustful because they knew it couldn't be more than this.
Its both at the same time in equal measure almost. Which is what "love" at its best really is. It's not the must lustful romance given their circumstances and the plot of the movie didn't have them do anymore than kiss but as far as their connection its definitely romantic.
@@ericvon2561 They clearly kiss at the end of the movie, its a romantic connection. A much more deep and personal romance than lustful one but still very romantic. The entire tone of their encounters screams two people falling for one another. Them having sex would be a cheap way of saying they're into eachother, and isnt necessary because the look in their eyes throughout the whole movie already tells us that.
Honestly, I've met so many people backpacking the world where I have formed connections and somewhat fallen in love - but due to our different lives have to "come back to reality." It hurts a lot, but I always feel I'll meet them again. Hopefully. This movie inspired me to travel, never knew how much it would hurt though, lol.
The pain is what they never tell you about when they talk about traveling the world. It's always the adventures, the excitement and the new people. Nobody tells you how hard it is to say goodbye and leave it behind and then integrate into normal life.
I was 17 somewhere in the south of france picking fruit and trying to learn some french. I met this girl also 17 and we got close over the 4 weeks but I was too damn shy and never made a move. I'll always remember saying goodbye and watching as she slowly walked away knowing I would never see her again. I'll always regret never running after her...
Lost In Translation and Groundhog Day are films you can watch over and over and there is more you learn at every viewing. Both timeless modern classics
I love how he kisses her a second time under the eye. This is definitely a happy ending for me. Whatever he said to her, she looked relieved and happy after it.
@ghostemane I don’t think we are meant to hear what he says. I heard people got that line of dialogue by enhancing the audio from that bit but it isn’t in the original script nor did the director ask for it, she didn’t even know what he says herself, Murray supposedly made it up. It’s better that the viewer doesn’t know. It’s between the two characters in the movie.
I was very surprised when i found out that nominations from Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story were her first nominations. Those two are amazing performances but how she dosen't have more nominations?
Mirrori maybe because she was young back then and critics saw her as an eyecandy or “another blonde girl” but truly she is way more than that and her acting is superb
@@Coco81218 now that i looked more at her filmography she hasn't really acted in many movies that would have been Oscar contenders. Yes she has acted a lot but most movies look like smaller indie films or big blockbusters. I hope that she picks good movies in future. Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story are just amazing.
You are SOOOO right! Sofia Coppola made some nice movies, other movies that I didn't enjoy too much, BUT she never topped this. I think she can't. I think she knows she can't. This is a masterpiece. This is actually the movie she will be remembered for in the history of cinema. Gorsch, it must be terrible not being able to beat yourself!
Such a great depiction of love that transcends the physical... this is something very few people understand or attain. Used properly, in spite of its fleeting nature, a relationship like this can sustain you and give you hope and faith when you really need it.
This is one of the first movies that I legitimately cried while watching. It was a very strange sensation. I was about 11 years old barely becoming aware of the world around me and not really “getting” movies and plot points thoroughly until then. But then I watched this movie and this ending absolutely destroyed me. I understood what love was and that life isn’t always prefect. And this all just sort of hit me all at once and I bawled. I’ll never forget that moment.
Does this film depress me? *yes* Does this film lift my spirits? *yes* Does this film make me feel hopeful? *yes* Does this film make me feel forlorn? *yes* Does this film tear my heart apart? *yes* This movie will always hold the spot as my number one favorite movie; it's the fish out of water setting, the clear love-angst between Bob and Charlotte, not in a romantic or sexual way, but a longing for understanding and companionship; how they both feel lost in polar opposite ways that's also exactly the same. What does he whisper in her ear at the end? Honestly, I don't really care to know the exact words, ever.

Good. Don't...ever. This film is about life. It hurts, and fills you up. Best to you.
This ending gives me so much hope. Just the faint glimmer of hope that they will see each other again is enough to make this one of the most transcendent endings to a movie ever.
I love how this movie is all about the feel - I'm not american, I've never been to Japan, yet i connect deeply with what these characters are feeling - the sense of not wanting to leave a moment you know can't last, the feeling of not being able to describe or discuss a emotional connection but both still feeling it there, roaming in the air... What a amazing movie
What a classy ,classic scene. Sometimes for what ever reason we just connect with people at the strangest of times . When you walk away you always ask did I do the right thing ?
If any foreigner(westerner) has lived or visited Japan, this is ultimately the film that will resonate with you. Sophia captured the true essence of a Westerner's experience in Japan on a very deep level
She really did. I visited Japan with another person and it wasn’t like this. But then I visited Hong Kong on my own for a weekend and whilst it isn’t Japan, it’s a viable substitute for the alien culture. Drinking whiskey in an airport bar, exhausted, wandering the streets when you arrive. Very special moment in my life and as you say the feeling of it is captured excellently in Lost in Translation.
0:37-1:11 that is some of the best acting I've ever seen from Bill Murray. The performance is so real that I wonder whether he was just being himself in this movie.
The choice of music and cinematography in this movie is so beautiful. Each scene could be a wallpaper lol. Absolutely love the aesthetic they've captured
One of the best endings in movie history, imo. Not the grandest, not the fanciest... the photography is gorgeous, and the acting is perfect, but still, it's kinda low-key. And yet so fucking powerful. What adds to my everlasting appreciation is that I watched LiT two days before I went to Japan for a year, fifteen years ago, to experience in that country more emotions, stronger and unexpected emotions, that I would in mine afterwards. With Japanese people, but also with gaijin, foreigners. LiT is one of the most authentic depiction of Tokyo. It's not a documentary, in any way, but the atmosphere ? Jesus. Especially in that scene. Oh, and 3:28 : still one of my favorite match cuts ever. So fluid and elegant. Scarlett was gonna spend the next ten years being one of the most gorgeous actress in Hollywood. That's a lot of "one of the", I know.
Same exact experience, almost to a T. I'm 35 and watched this a year or two after graduating high school, before I knew anything of Japan. I lived there for about two years over a few trips between 2006-2009, and even just thinking about this movie makes me sad in a way. I want to go back, but I know it won't be the same. I'm not the same person any more--married, a dog, and just generally too "old" to have the an experience that could be anywhere near as magical as it was. The first day I arrived, it was raining in Tokyo. I was jet lagged as hell, but walked alone for hours in the rain with one of those clear umbrellas through Meiji Jingu and around Harajuku. Anyway, just wanted to relate my story. Hope you are well.
I lived in japan for four years. People sometimes ask me about japan and what it was like to live there. I always tell them to watch LiT. And more specifically, I tell them to pay very close attention to the fact that his trip is a blur. I tell them thats as close as you can get to understanding without going. It doesnt matter whether the trip is four days or four years, japan is always a blur. You can never quite get things into focus enough for it to be real. Its a dreamlike existence. And when you meet someone, usually a foreigner who brings your world back into focus, it can spawn profound relationships. Maybe between two people that would never speak in their home country. Sigh...... its time to visit again.
@@velveetaslingshotman, you are spot on here. Saw this film coupla yrs after being Tokyo....it so uniquely captured the disorientation, the wonder, the loneliness while being in the world's most populous city...all of it. And the heartwrenching and simultaneously so uplifting human connection part of this film is just...i dunno. IYKYK i suppose.
“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find-- is they are not always with whom we spend our lives” ― Beau Taplin, Hunting Season
You have to leave and you do not want to and do not know what to say and what to do... You know you will regret that you did not do anything... And then... You have suddenly the opportunity to do something and you hold your chance and do exactly what you should do... Your heart is broken, but you are happy that you did not waste your time... That's my feelings when I see this... And it is absolutely beautiful, lovely, so emotional...
Saying goodbye to someone whom you may or may not see in future after spending emotional time is sweet and bitter. I have been thru this journey. It hurts with a scar of good feeling that we both were connected at that level which can't be described. I am an American and she is an Ukrainian and we met in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
There are numerous theories about Bob's last words to Charlotte, but my personal favourite goes like this: "Don't part angry, I'm grateful we met. Talk to him (husband) Okay?." This farewell not only acknowledges the imminent separation but also offers closure to both parties, evoking relief and a parting smile from Charlotte. Bob is not selfish enough to ruin 2 marriages. He simply acknowledged they shared something special as 2 lonely souls who needed to get back to reality.
Such a great scene and so powerful. I would love to know what he said to her. Whilst backpacking in the states I met a girl on a Greyhound bus many years ago. We instantly hit it off and chatted day and night. Turns out she was backpacking to the same locations as me so we travelled together for 3 weeks. Purely friends, no more. We both guessed, without saying that we would never meet again as we came from different countries. I shall never forget the last morning standing in the sun outside the hostel on Sunset Boulevard in LA. Her taxi came, we hugged said goodbye and she walked towards the taxi. She opened the door, placed her rucksack on the backseat and walked back towards me. She leaned up and kissed me on the lips and said 'Goodbye'. I will always remember her looking out from the back window of the taxi as it drove off. Reminds me so much of this wonderful scene in the film :-)
@@-ReynardFox Yep, watched other videos here with the audio enhanced. Just made a GIF of that exact line. (it is pretty weird when you find out Scarlett Johansson was only 17 years old when she filmed this ;0)
@@BobbyJohnson140 We exchanged emails (in the days before social media) and have kept in touch ever since after meeting 20 years ago. Yes, we have met. I went to stay in her country and she has visited me in mine several years after our first meeting. To this day we are still great friends :-)
Sofia Coppola captured the urban lifestyle of modern Japanese culture and it’s subtle nuances in this beautiful film. I was stationed in Japan when this released and watched it in the theater in Chicago while in training there for 3 months before returning to Japan for another 4 years. If you’ve ever been to Japan and experienced the culture, you could listen to this whole movie with your eyes closed and just feel as if you were still there. I have to watch this movie once a year to get my memories of one of the greatest tours I’ve ever been on. A complete masterpiece and this ending along with Charlottes tranquil window scene are by far the best captures of emotion you could embrace and appreciate. “Just like honey”
I would have spent more time again at their wonderful gardens and those recreated elsewhere in the World to feel again "into Japan" and its deeper uniqueness, that Nature of their volcanic islands. The Peacefulness and the oppressing masses of Far East crowds isolating you both ways. Ive been ruined by Zen monks too, I cant get by scraps of the Japanese civilization anymore however genius and characteristic from them and their intrinsic ways.
I think what he whispered in her ear was him asking her, if it’s okay to kiss her because she said „okay“ after that. She didn’t seem surprised that the kiss happened either
I’ve watched thousands of movies. Many favorites. But THIS movie right here will always be my number one pick for reasons I probably can’t unravel fully.... it connects on a whole different level ❤️
Totally captured Tokyo, the hotel scene, and what happens when you're not happy in your relationship.... and you come across another soul in the same place as you.
This scene is the very definition of bittersweet. This is like "Moments, even eternal moments like this one, always end. And people, even special people like they were to each other, always go."
I believe that friendships and romances are distinct but similar in important ways. A kiss can have many meanings, and this one is platonic. People are people.
One of the best movies ever... I even love better when they play "More than this You know there's nothing..." It just reminds me of my youth and how you feel connection with someone, but nothing happens at that time...
The kiss and the smile, not sure how it was acted but it’s the purest love scene I’ve ever scene. Maybe Scarlett was in the moment there. Whatever it was, it was genuine and beautiful.
I remember that the first time watching this ending I was left with a horrible sense of emptyness, I felt my heart had became something small and wrinkled like a raising. Seeing them say goodbye was something painful but beautiful at the same time. What a great movie. Still one of my favorites.
I turn 53 in 3 weeks and after finally saying to myself…”I’m going to watch this movie and pay attention to it”… …I have been watching it for 5 days in a row now!!! Murray is fantastic! Scarlett is mesmerizing! Soundtrack is on point! Cinematography is beautiful and dreamy! My wife’s go to romantic film is “Notting Hill”…this…”Lost In Translation” is MY “Notting Hill”. I want an ending such as this. Indescribable is all I can say about how the film made me feel, how the characters had me hypnotized, & how I don’t want to know what Bob said to Charlotte at the end…❤️
Notting hill is a great film, but it's got a cheesy repetitive soundtrack and you already know they're ending up together. With lost in translation, you're left with that feeling of longing and pain knowing they might not ever see each other again. Such a beautiful ending!
When I watched this movie for the first time back in 2003, my heart was broken in a thousand pieces. I was 21 and had my first bad love experience… watching this movie put my heart back together again….
I always felt like the two of them had a special connection that was just beyond love, like even in some moments during the film you can see it when they wouldn't be speaking at all, and it was just total silence, yet it would still feel like the two of them were still talking and understanding each and every thought of each others. I don't even know how to describe it honestly... but it just feels like a thing that really exists...some sort of unspoken language for those of us who can't really speak our minds well. but yeah... Idk If I can really bring myself to watch this film anymore, not after having already met my soulmate, and eerily enough, the ending to our little relationship was in the same sadness and felt just as unfair as this movie's end. such a beautiful movie that I don't think I can ever watch again. ugh... Anyways to anyone who's still reading this, I love you, your probably a really great person, and I thank you for reading this far, even though you didn't have to... but remember we're all here for a short time, and to live your life as much as you can, try your best to get thru these moments where you don't feel so alive, because well... we won't always be alive forever... so take it from a dumb kid who had their soulmate kill herself, a soulmate I didn't choose to have or even confess to. But please take care and please keep living whoever you. There's always gonna be a sadness that won't go away and please remember your not alone, remember that there's someone else in this world who's probably feeling as sad as you are. You'll never be alone. Please remember you matter and Ilysm, keep living please even if its just for a complete stranger like me. take care.
Finally watched this movie. I kept on thinking about the opportunities we have to connect with people, and how many of those opportunities we let just go by for whatever reason.
Soul mates. She looks quite a bit like my first wife, whom i still love, 21 years after our divorce. Spectacular writing, acting and Tokyo is the perfect venue. A masterpiece.
Years after watching this movie, the ending still hurts even though I know the short ice they spent together was magical and life changing. It's the idea of going back to reality and never seeing each other again that makes my eyes produce waterfalls. LOST IN TRANSLATION WEEKEND BEFORE SUNRISE are thee best movies I've ever watched.😢
Just rewatched this on Netflix. So many things we can relate to. Despite all the freedoms we have in West we are never truely find meaning or satisfaction.
I finally got to watch this movie late last night. This scene was so emotional that I can not come up with any words for it. All I can say, I loved it and cried a little bit. For some reason, this scene was so satisfying as they say their final Good Bye and shared a romantic kiss. To me, it was a deeper friendship and never a sexual relationship. This movie became one of my top favorite movies of all time.
Currently living through this. Exchange student in a foreign country, met a wonderful girl who has a boyfriend. From the first time we met, there were sparks, we spent so much time together. Basically went on dates on multiple occasions, one on one. Hung out at my room watching the view of the city. Joking together, hugging, talking about literally everything. Have shared our deepest secrets and fears, our life journey bringing us to where we currently are. The dynamic between us was never explicitly romantic, but you just feel romance is lying under the surface. She leaves in a few days, we will probably see each other again, but still it hurts. We both told each other we were easily the best person we met during our exchange semester. Told me I'm the most confident person she's ever met. Such a shame that this was not meant to be. I'm not sure if I want a kiss to happen, as it probably be just relief more than anything else, but if this scene happens to me, it will be one hell of a memory to cherish forever. Beautiful film and scene.
It's not the best, but it's my favorite final scene in a movie. I've watched it in my teen years and it was a movie that bored me. A few years later I watched it a night that I couldn't sleep. That whisper that we never found what it was said and the big smile that Bob gives as he walks away brings always tears in my eyes. It is a film about longing, that our protagonists never actually achieve. But they have a deep connection greater than friendship or romance. They managed to grow as people just by knowing each other in a few days, in a wold full of strangers
This was such a sad ending. Lost in Translation was about loneliness and friendship. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson both gave two of the best performances of their acting careers.
I wouldn't call the ending sad Daniel. If anything it was closer to bittersweet in my opinion. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson's characters had the best chemistry and did form a strong bond throughout the film but the fact is a long-lasting relationship of any kind just wasn't in the cards for them. They had completely different lives and not to mention Murray's character was old enough to be her father or grandfather so romance was out of the picture. The bottom line though is they helped each other to grow and move on with life.
“The next time you’re on one of these business opportunities again, Delta Airfare, tell me when you arrive okay? Okay.” That’s all I hear. Makes the ending so happy
one of my favorite films of all tine saw this like 15 yrs ago, now i live in japan for 5 yrs, leaving in a few months and literally going through this. We meet people that we wish can be part of our lives, we wish we met earlier in our lives. But what makes the moment so special is knowing that it wont last forever. i am grateful that the moment happened, and sad that it is about to end.
I have not yet watched the movie so I don’t really understand the full content.. but I’m tearing up when he whispered in her ears then kissed her - great, great acting 🥺👍👍
So here’s my take, the main thought people have is whether this was a romance or friendship they had. Throughout the movie we realise both are NOT happy in their current situations. Murray has had a long marriage and has become tired and jaded. Scarlett has realised she may not be with the right man and has no idea what she wants to do with her. Hence they have an immediate link in their unhappiness. The fact that they can openly share this with each and not their partners makes this all the more intimate. The next big question people have is their age difference. Is this a young woman looking for a father figure and a man looking for a young woman to rekindle those romantic feelings he first had as youngster? I think both are true to a certain extent - Scarlett required guidance of a sage mind and Murray the ‘innocence’ of youth. I think initially they genuinely flirted with the idea of an illicit romance. However, in the few short days they spent together their relationship became some kind of cathartic event for both of them. Had they met back in the US the familiar surroundings would not have created the correct atmosphere for them to connect. It required the other worldliness of Japan to spark those feelings. So in my opinion, yes it started out as a romance then ended up as two soul mates who desperately needed each other’s company.
I experiencied this situation too, and its really heartbreaking with a kind of happy end! After joy, and kind of platonic love, suddenly because of a silly situation it becomes cold, very cold, its kind of awaking from a dream, but suddenly an oportunity helped us, to come closer in the end! Very beautiful!
This is by far one of my favorite movies of ALL-TIME! For me, the very BEST thing about it was that they DID NOT sleep together. That would have ruined the entire movie. There were no salacious sex scenes and this unlikely pair just "were", nothing more! Thank you Sophia for not ruining this movie and giving us a wonderful, wonderful film. Also I loved the ending whereby YOU have to decide what Bill Murray says to her. OH oh and I forgot. I want that pink wig Scar-Jo!
It is difficult to explain to others who only see a movie where nothing happens, why this is such a touching and warming film. My opinion of this as a truly marvellous film never wavers.

I have just finished watching this film and loved and cried at it. But am I the only one who viewed their relationship as a friendship rather than a romance - but a connection probably far deeper and important than any romance?
I find it could be somewhere in between romance and deeper personal connection. They both feel uncertain what it really was but they do know it is something. This is what makes the whole movie so powerful and emotinal.
An "impossible" relationship given their circumstances, but caring and loving nonetheless. When they kiss to say goodbye, it was very respectful and not lustful because they knew it couldn't be more than this.
Its both at the same time in equal measure almost. Which is what "love" at its best really is. It's not the must lustful romance given their circumstances and the plot of the movie didn't have them do anymore than kiss but as far as their connection its definitely romantic.
@@ericvon2561 They clearly kiss at the end of the movie, its a romantic connection. A much more deep and personal romance than lustful one but still very romantic. The entire tone of their encounters screams two people falling for one another. Them having sex would be a cheap way of saying they're into eachother, and isnt necessary because the look in their eyes throughout the whole movie already tells us that.
2 people who needed that particular moment at that particular time.
Honestly, I've met so many people backpacking the world where I have formed connections and somewhat fallen in love - but due to our different lives have to "come back to reality." It hurts a lot, but I always feel I'll meet them again. Hopefully. This movie inspired me to travel, never knew how much it would hurt though, lol.

Ouch, hope you’ve moved on now. Never forget the world is a small place and the chance of seeing her again is definitely not impossible.
Btw do u have Instagram pics of the trips to France ?
You idiot
Lost In Translation and Groundhog Day are films you can watch over and over and there is more you learn at every viewing. Both timeless modern classics
indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to re watch Groundhog Day , I don't remmeber anything being new to see but I do love that film!!!
I've seen this movie 100s of times and it always feels like coming home
Infern0121 I love Tokyo!! The people are pleasant and beautiful!! It’s so clean!!
Yes it is like this ❤
I love how he kisses her a second time under the eye. This is definitely a happy ending for me. Whatever he said to her, she looked relieved and happy after it.
Bob whispers into Charlotte's ear, "I have to be leaving, but I won't let that come between us. Okay?"
@ghostemane I don’t think we are meant to hear what he says. I heard people got that line of dialogue by enhancing the audio from that bit but it isn’t in the original script nor did the director ask for it, she didn’t even know what he says herself, Murray supposedly made it up. It’s better that the viewer doesn’t know. It’s between the two characters in the movie.
Yeah I can't imagine he said anything like "We'll never see each other again."
He says “For a relaxing time, make it suntory time”
@@enkhbatb604 lol that made me laugh
Can’t believe Scarlett wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. This is her best performance yet.
thomas brunn lol
Marriage Story
I was very surprised when i found out that nominations from Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story were her first nominations.
Those two are amazing performances but how she dosen't have more nominations?
Mirrori maybe because she was young back then and critics saw her as an eyecandy or “another blonde girl” but truly she is way more than that and her acting is superb
@@Coco81218 now that i looked more at her filmography she hasn't really acted in many movies that would have been Oscar contenders.
Yes she has acted a lot but most movies look like smaller indie films or big blockbusters.
I hope that she picks good movies in future.
Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story are just amazing.
Lost in Translation is a perfect movie. There are a few and this isn’t my favorite among them but this is a perfect movie.
You are SOOOO right! Sofia Coppola made some nice movies, other movies that I didn't enjoy too much, BUT she never topped this. I think she can't. I think she knows she can't. This is a masterpiece. This is actually the movie she will be remembered for in the history of cinema. Gorsch, it must be terrible not being able to beat yourself!
Such a great depiction of love that transcends the physical... this is something very few people understand or attain. Used properly, in spite of its fleeting nature, a relationship like this can sustain you and give you hope and faith when you really need it.
It really can. It is the most beautiful of things.
Including cheating on your partner
Three movies that made me emotional
Lost in Translation
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Her
Hey..... what about Good burger?
JOHN Vincent amazing..
Could you imagine these three movies in a trilogy ?
I saw this and Blue Valentine
All beautiful.
Daniel Bautista three great choices there. I agree.
This is one of the first movies that I legitimately cried while watching. It was a very strange sensation. I was about 11 years old barely becoming aware of the world around me and not really “getting” movies and plot points thoroughly until then. But then I watched this movie and this ending absolutely destroyed me. I understood what love was and that life isn’t always prefect. And this all just sort of hit me all at once and I bawled. I’ll never forget that moment.
Does this film depress me? *yes*
Does this film lift my spirits? *yes*
Does this film make me feel hopeful? *yes*
Does this film make me feel forlorn? *yes*
Does this film tear my heart apart? *yes*
This movie will always hold the spot as my number one favorite movie; it's the fish out of water setting, the clear love-angst between Bob and Charlotte, not in a romantic or sexual way, but a longing for understanding and companionship; how they both feel lost in polar opposite ways that's also exactly the same.
What does he whisper in her ear at the end? Honestly, I don't really care to know the exact words, ever.
Good. Don't...ever. This film is about life. It hurts, and fills you up. Best to you.
This ending gives me so much hope. Just the faint glimmer of hope that they will see each other again is enough to make this one of the most transcendent endings to a movie ever.
He’s 53 here and she’s 18 or 19.

@@cliffwheeler7357 you must be real fun at parties
He probably whispered "Meet me in Montauk"
oh come ooooon....I was just ove that movie
why did you do that
Nice. Two of my favorite films of all time haha
i have to go now but i wont let that come between us
Very similar themes. Damn. ❤️
I love how this movie is all about the feel - I'm not american, I've never been to Japan, yet i connect deeply with what these characters are feeling - the sense of not wanting to leave a moment you know can't last, the feeling of not being able to describe or discuss a emotional connection but both still feeling it there, roaming in the air... What a amazing movie
What a classy ,classic scene. Sometimes for what ever reason we just connect with people at the strangest of times . When you walk away you always ask did I do the right thing ?
If any foreigner(westerner) has lived or visited Japan, this is ultimately the film that will resonate with you. Sophia captured the true essence of a Westerner's experience in Japan on a very deep level
She really did. I visited Japan with another person and it wasn’t like this. But then I visited Hong Kong on my own for a weekend and whilst it isn’t Japan, it’s a viable substitute for the alien culture. Drinking whiskey in an airport bar, exhausted, wandering the streets when you arrive. Very special moment in my life and as you say the feeling of it is captured excellently in Lost in Translation.
0:37-1:11 that is some of the best acting I've ever seen from Bill Murray. The performance is so real that I wonder whether he was just being himself in this movie.
recht phemism i wonder too
Good actors are always themselves with a given circumstance of the script.
Face Off exactly
The randomness of how love can happen between people. What a wonderful movie.
The choice of music and cinematography in this movie is so beautiful. Each scene could be a wallpaper lol. Absolutely love the aesthetic they've captured
One of the best endings in movie history, imo. Not the grandest, not the fanciest... the photography is gorgeous, and the acting is perfect, but still, it's kinda low-key. And yet so fucking powerful.
What adds to my everlasting appreciation is that I watched LiT two days before I went to Japan for a year, fifteen years ago, to experience in that country more emotions, stronger and unexpected emotions, that I would in mine afterwards. With Japanese people, but also with gaijin, foreigners.
LiT is one of the most authentic depiction of Tokyo. It's not a documentary, in any way, but the atmosphere ? Jesus. Especially in that scene.
Oh, and 3:28 : still one of my favorite match cuts ever. So fluid and elegant.
Scarlett was gonna spend the next ten years being one of the most gorgeous actress in Hollywood.
That's a lot of "one of the", I know.
Same exact experience, almost to a T. I'm 35 and watched this a year or two after graduating high school, before I knew anything of Japan. I lived there for about two years over a few trips between 2006-2009, and even just thinking about this movie makes me sad in a way. I want to go back, but I know it won't be the same. I'm not the same person any more--married, a dog, and just generally too "old" to have the an experience that could be anywhere near as magical as it was.
The first day I arrived, it was raining in Tokyo. I was jet lagged as hell, but walked alone for hours in the rain with one of those clear umbrellas through Meiji Jingu and around Harajuku.
Anyway, just wanted to relate my story. Hope you are well.
@@frankwilliams5766 I'm 24 and I appreciate the reminder to make the most of it while I'm young.
I lived in japan for four years. People sometimes ask me about japan and what it was like to live there. I always tell them to watch LiT. And more specifically, I tell them to pay very close attention to the fact that his trip is a blur. I tell them thats as close as you can get to understanding without going. It doesnt matter whether the trip is four days or four years, japan is always a blur. You can never quite get things into focus enough for it to be real. Its a dreamlike existence. And when you meet someone, usually a foreigner who brings your world back into focus, it can spawn profound relationships. Maybe between two people that would never speak in their home country. Sigh...... its time to visit again.
Yes! That cut at 3:28. It’s beautiful.
@@velveetaslingshotman, you are spot on here. Saw this film coupla yrs after being Tokyo....it so uniquely captured the disorientation, the wonder, the loneliness while being in the world's most populous city...all of it. And the heartwrenching and simultaneously so uplifting human connection part of this film is just...i dunno. IYKYK i suppose.
This is the most beautiful ending I’ve seen in my life... I ended with tears and a smile in my face
Probably one of the most beautiful endings a movie could have. So powerful and touching.
This ending is like waking up from the most delicious nap
The song fits so well in this scene
Just Like Honey by The Jesus & Mary Chain. I totally agree!
Off of the 1985 album by the Jesus and Mary chain, widely considered to be the first Shoegaze album of the genre.
“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65,
you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die.
However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find--
is they are not always with whom we spend our lives”
― Beau Taplin, Hunting Season
So true, 😢
I want this type of friendship in my life
Me too
I have it and hope it never ends
@@Napoleonwilson1973 Never let it slip away from you.
@@eilafram4774 thank you I will do everything in my power, and I hope you can get this too.
no you don't, it hurts.
You have to leave and you do not want to and do not know what to say and what to do... You know you will regret that you did not do anything... And then... You have suddenly the opportunity to do something and you hold your chance and do exactly what you should do... Your heart is broken, but you are happy that you did not waste your time... That's my feelings when I see this... And it is absolutely beautiful, lovely, so emotional...
Sometimes it feels so good to hug someone like that. You feel like your able to let all your stress and anxieties out. I cant really describe it.
that quiver in her voice when she says "bye"
One of the most heartbreaking moments of the movie, and lasts less than a second
Saying goodbye to someone whom you may or may not see in future after spending emotional time is sweet and bitter. I have been thru this journey. It hurts with a scar of good feeling that we both were connected at that level which can't be described. I am an American and she is an Ukrainian and we met in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
the most beautiful ending!
There are numerous theories about Bob's last words to Charlotte, but my personal favourite goes like this: "Don't part angry, I'm grateful we met. Talk to him (husband) Okay?." This farewell not only acknowledges the imminent separation but also offers closure to both parties, evoking relief and a parting smile from Charlotte. Bob is not selfish enough to ruin 2 marriages. He simply acknowledged they shared something special as 2 lonely souls who needed to get back to reality.
Such a great scene and so powerful. I would love to know what he said to her. Whilst backpacking in the states I met a girl on a Greyhound bus many years ago. We instantly hit it off and chatted day and night. Turns out she was backpacking to the same locations as me so we travelled together for 3 weeks. Purely friends, no more. We both guessed, without saying that we would never meet again as we came from different countries. I shall never forget the last morning standing in the sun outside the hostel on Sunset Boulevard in LA. Her taxi came, we hugged said goodbye and she walked towards the taxi. She opened the door, placed her rucksack on the backseat and walked back towards me. She leaned up and kissed me on the lips and said 'Goodbye'. I will always remember her looking out from the back window of the taxi as it drove off. Reminds me so much of this wonderful scene in the film :-)
Bill Murray's whisper "I have to be leaving, but I won't let that come between us"
@@-ReynardFox Yep, watched other videos here with the audio enhanced. Just made a GIF of that exact line. (it is pretty weird when you find out Scarlett Johansson was only 17 years old when she filmed this ;0)
Did you ever see her again? Or find her on social media etc? If not, this is regardless a lovely story.
@@BobbyJohnson140 We exchanged emails (in the days before social media) and have kept in touch ever since after meeting 20 years ago. Yes, we have met. I went to stay in her country and she has visited me in mine several years after our first meeting. To this day we are still great friends :-)
"I have to be leaving now. But I wont let that come between us. Okay?"
this god damn movie. makes me cry every time.
I'm not crying, you are. Shut up.
Sofia Coppola captured the urban lifestyle of modern Japanese culture and it’s subtle nuances in this beautiful film. I was stationed in Japan when this released and watched it in the theater in Chicago while in training there for 3 months before returning to Japan for another 4 years. If you’ve ever been to Japan and experienced the culture, you could listen to this whole movie with your eyes closed and just feel as if you were still there. I have to watch this movie once a year to get my memories of one of the greatest tours I’ve ever been on. A complete masterpiece and this ending along with Charlottes tranquil window scene are by far the best captures of emotion you could embrace and appreciate. “Just like honey”
tsf films True, I was in Japan so I can really feel the atmosphere:)
I would have spent more time again at their wonderful gardens and those recreated elsewhere in the World to feel again "into Japan" and its deeper uniqueness, that Nature of their volcanic islands. The Peacefulness and the oppressing masses of Far East crowds isolating you both ways. Ive been ruined by Zen monks too, I cant get by scraps of the Japanese civilization anymore however genius and characteristic from them and their intrinsic ways.
Japan gets under your skin and robs you some, or robs you to add you to herself
fyi: the kiss wasn't planned. bill did that spontaneously.
bro thats bold she was 17 making this and he was in his 50s, she could have rightfully slapped him skjkjskj
@@anavasquez5231 ikrrrr but her character that she plays is 5 years older then herself so i guess its acting, still i would have jumped lol
I think what he whispered in her ear was him asking her, if it’s okay to kiss her because she said „okay“ after that.
She didn’t seem surprised that the kiss happened either
Ana Vasquez You have any idea how dumb your comment was??
Ana Vasquez So u would feel repulsed if a script said u have to kiss Bill Murray ?
This and Her made me feel the same way at the end. Must be Scarlette Johanson.
@JOHN Vincent Well that makes a lot of sense then! Both in my top 20 movies.
She's totally underrated as an actress!
Hahaha same here
Too bad she's been Marvel'd
This ending hit so hard, I feel like it’s the passing of time as we meet ppl and left with brief moments we thought would never end, until they do.
I’ve watched thousands of movies. Many favorites. But THIS movie right here will always be my number one pick for reasons I probably can’t unravel fully.... it connects on a whole different level ❤️
Such an amazing film. It's a crime that Murray didn't win best actor for it.
Totally captured Tokyo, the hotel scene, and what happens when you're not happy in your relationship.... and you come across another soul in the same place as you.
Proper way to say goodbye to a girl!
She’s more in love with her kids than him
This scene is the very definition of bittersweet.
This is like "Moments, even eternal moments like this one, always end.
And people, even special people like they were to each other, always go."
I believe that friendships and romances are distinct but similar in important ways. A kiss can have many meanings, and this one is platonic. People are people.
After watching this scene, I always listened to Just Like Honey before going to sleep.
One of the best movies ever...
I even love better when they play
"More than this
You know there's nothing..."
It just reminds me of my youth and how you feel connection with someone, but nothing happens at that time...
I'm so glad you said that. Every time I hear More than this, I immediately think of this movie
Same. But I'm also a huge Roxy fan lol
The kiss and the smile, not sure how it was acted but it’s the purest love scene I’ve ever scene. Maybe Scarlett was in the moment there. Whatever it was, it was genuine and beautiful.
My heart just falls out at this...every time...
Why am I crying so damn loud
What a beautiful time capsule that captures a time before filters, social media, and sliding into DM's dismantled the human experience 😢
I remember that the first time watching this ending I was left with a horrible sense of emptyness, I felt my heart had became something small and wrinkled like a raising. Seeing them say goodbye was something painful but beautiful at the same time. What a great movie. Still one of my favorites.
Quite possibly my favorite ending to any movie ever. Thanks for sharing in 4k
After coming back from Japan i watched this movie every day for a month. It only gets more relatable as you get older.
I love The Jesus and Mary chain !
I turn 53 in 3 weeks and after finally saying to myself…”I’m going to watch this movie and pay attention to it”…
…I have been watching it for 5 days in a row now!!!
Murray is fantastic! Scarlett is mesmerizing! Soundtrack is on point! Cinematography is beautiful and dreamy!
My wife’s go to romantic film is “Notting Hill”…this…”Lost In Translation” is MY “Notting Hill”.
I want an ending such as this. Indescribable is all I can say about how the film made me feel, how the characters had me hypnotized, & how I don’t want to know what Bob said to Charlotte at the end…❤️
Notting hill is a great film, but it's got a cheesy repetitive soundtrack and you already know they're ending up together. With lost in translation, you're left with that feeling of longing and pain knowing they might not ever see each other again.
Such a beautiful ending!
When I watched this movie for the first time back in 2003, my heart was broken in a thousand pieces. I was 21 and had my first bad love experience… watching this movie put my heart back together again….
I always felt like the two of them had a special connection that was just beyond love, like even in some moments during the film you can see it when they wouldn't be speaking at all, and it was just total silence, yet it would still feel like the two of them were still talking and understanding each and every thought of each others. I don't even know how to describe it honestly... but it just feels like a thing that really exists...some sort of unspoken language for those of us who can't really speak our minds well. but yeah... Idk If I can really bring myself to watch this film anymore, not after having already met my soulmate, and eerily enough, the ending to our little relationship was in the same sadness and felt just as unfair as this movie's end. such a beautiful movie that I don't think I can ever watch again. ugh... Anyways to anyone who's still reading this, I love you, your probably a really great person, and I thank you for reading this far, even though you didn't have to... but remember we're all here for a short time, and to live your life as much as you can, try your best to get thru these moments where you don't feel so alive, because well... we won't always be alive forever... so take it from a dumb kid who had their soulmate kill herself, a soulmate I didn't choose to have or even confess to. But please take care and please keep living whoever you. There's always gonna be a sadness that won't go away and please remember your not alone, remember that there's someone else in this world who's probably feeling as sad as you are. You'll never be alone. Please remember you matter and Ilysm, keep living please even if its just for a complete stranger like me. take care.
Bill and Scarlett could have both retired after making this fantastic movie
Wtf
they still make wonderful works in their Art, no need it would be a loss for Audiences and themselves
Finally watched this movie. I kept on thinking about the opportunities we have to connect with people, and how many of those opportunities we let just go by for whatever reason.
Soul mates. She looks quite a bit like my first wife, whom i still love, 21 years after our divorce. Spectacular writing, acting and Tokyo is the perfect venue. A masterpiece.
Its wonderful that the most memorable scenes in the movie are the ones that doesn't have any dialogue. This & that moment outside the kareoke bar...
Tokyo = such wonderful isolation
My favorite ‘mystery’ ending of all time. I cry every time but never quite why😇
Still my all time favorite movie. Small yet epic, funny yet melancholy, and a bit tragic but also hopeful. Great film!
See u later, maybe, never...
Years after watching this movie, the ending still hurts even though I know the short ice they spent together was magical and life changing. It's the idea of going back to reality and never seeing each other again that makes my eyes produce waterfalls.
LOST IN TRANSLATION
WEEKEND
BEFORE SUNRISE
are thee best movies I've ever watched.😢
such a great film - i never get tired of it - killer soundtrack
That first riff makes my heart ache. One of the great endings to a film.
Just rewatched this on Netflix. So many things we can relate to. Despite all the freedoms we have in West we are never truely find meaning or satisfaction.
I finally got to watch this movie late last night. This scene was so emotional that I can not come up with any words for it. All I can say, I loved it and cried a little bit. For some reason, this scene was so satisfying as they say their final Good Bye and shared a romantic kiss. To me, it was a deeper friendship and never a sexual relationship. This movie became one of my top favorite movies of all time.
Bill Muray is so cool walking backwards and Scarlet is so cute 😁
Currently living through this. Exchange student in a foreign country, met a wonderful girl who has a boyfriend. From the first time we met, there were sparks, we spent so much time together. Basically went on dates on multiple occasions, one on one. Hung out at my room watching the view of the city. Joking together, hugging, talking about literally everything. Have shared our deepest secrets and fears, our life journey bringing us to where we currently are. The dynamic between us was never explicitly romantic, but you just feel romance is lying under the surface. She leaves in a few days, we will probably see each other again, but still it hurts. We both told each other we were easily the best person we met during our exchange semester. Told me I'm the most confident person she's ever met. Such a shame that this was not meant to be. I'm not sure if I want a kiss to happen, as it probably be just relief more than anything else, but if this scene happens to me, it will be one hell of a memory to cherish forever. Beautiful film and scene.
so what happened?
It's not the best, but it's my favorite final scene in a movie. I've watched it in my teen years and it was a movie that bored me. A few years later I watched it a night that I couldn't sleep. That whisper that we never found what it was said and the big smile that Bob gives as he walks away brings always tears in my eyes. It is a film about longing, that our protagonists never actually achieve. But they have a deep connection greater than friendship or romance. They managed to grow as people just by knowing each other in a few days, in a wold full of strangers
"I have to be going now, but I won't let that come between us, ok?"
0:47 one of my favorite scenes. Not a word needed to be spoken to know exactly how he feels.
Such a powerful performance and ending. Amazing movie. Hats off to everyone involved.
3:06 It's that crack in Charlotte's voice when says, "Bye." Absolutely DESTROYS me. Every time.
This was such a sad ending. Lost in Translation was about loneliness and friendship. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson both gave two of the best performances of their acting careers.
I wouldn't call the ending sad Daniel. If anything it was closer to bittersweet in my opinion. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson's characters had the best chemistry and did form a strong bond throughout the film but the fact is a long-lasting relationship of any kind just wasn't in the cards for them. They had completely different lives and not to mention Murray's character was old enough to be her father or grandfather so romance was out of the picture. The bottom line though is they helped each other to grow and move on with life.
“The next time you’re on one of these business opportunities again, Delta Airfare, tell me when you arrive okay? Okay.”
That’s all I hear. Makes the ending so happy
@@xyPERSON It's still a sad ending though.
one of my favorite films of all tine saw this like 15 yrs ago, now i live in japan for 5 yrs, leaving in a few months and literally going through this. We meet people that we wish can be part of our lives, we wish we met earlier in our lives. But what makes the moment so special is knowing that it wont last forever. i am grateful that the moment happened, and sad that it is about to end.
The best ending to one of the greatest movies ever made.
It's incredible how a few shots of Tokyo by dusk can express with the right song
Such a bittersweet, melancholic feeling
I have not yet watched the movie so I don’t really understand the full content.. but I’m tearing up when he whispered in her ears then kissed her - great, great acting 🥺👍👍
So here’s my take, the main thought people have is whether this was a romance or friendship they had. Throughout the movie we realise both are NOT happy in their current situations. Murray has had a long marriage and has become tired and jaded. Scarlett has realised she may not be with the right man and has no idea what she wants to do with her. Hence they have an immediate link in their unhappiness. The fact that they can openly share this with each and not their partners makes this all the more intimate. The next big question people have is their age difference. Is this a young woman looking for a father figure and a man looking for a young woman to rekindle those romantic feelings he first had as youngster? I think both are true to a certain extent - Scarlett required guidance of a sage mind and Murray the ‘innocence’ of youth. I think initially they genuinely flirted with the idea of an illicit romance. However, in the few short days they spent together their relationship became some kind of cathartic event for both of them. Had they met back in the US the familiar surroundings would not have created the correct atmosphere for them to connect. It required the other worldliness of Japan to spark those feelings. So in my opinion, yes it started out as a romance then ended up as two soul mates who desperately needed each other’s company.
I experiencied this situation too, and its really heartbreaking with a kind of happy end!
After joy, and kind of platonic love, suddenly because of a silly situation it becomes cold, very cold, its kind of awaking from a dream, but suddenly an oportunity helped us, to come closer in the end! Very beautiful!
This is by far one of my favorite movies of ALL-TIME! For me, the very BEST thing about it was that they DID NOT sleep together. That would have ruined the entire movie. There were no salacious sex scenes and this unlikely pair just "were", nothing more! Thank you Sophia for not ruining this movie and giving us a wonderful, wonderful film. Also I loved the ending whereby YOU have to decide what Bill Murray says to her. OH oh and I forgot. I want that pink wig Scar-Jo!
