This movie are for people who felt isolated and lonely in crowded places with no friends , no social activities , places where you tries hard to fit in but dun even know where to begin..the people in the movie were fortunate but in reality it is not easy to find let alone develop such chemistries ..a great movie , it makes you think long after it's over
@R DK that's pretty amazing actually, being jetlagged definitely has a dreamy feeling to it. I remember how I felt landing in Bali after travelling a full day from Manchester, England, and the days after and how spaced out I was haha. She really nailed that feeling.
I saw Lost in Translation when it first came out. I thought to myself I must go to Japan one day. Well in the past 15 years I have been there eight times.
Aurelian Tudor Dumitrescu yes I have. I have made many friends there. Not just Japanese but other Nationality’s who live there also. I have already booked to go back at the end of the year hopefully if this Corona virus has less of an impact
I saw this movie after I graduated high school, and I was like what is this. I didn’t understand it. I then watched it after my first year of college and thought it was brilliant. It hits you hard when you are in your early 20s not knowing what you want to do with your life. The movie is amazing.
hello there thank you. it's 2:20 am and i was struggling with a movie to watch and i found this comment. i am 18. so imma edit my comment after I finish watching it and let you know.
I found this movie when i was in first year, but I still couldn't figure it out what the value. Now, I'm final year student, then wanna try to re-watch for find something missing
@@adegardenia2673 It is a movie that I had to rewatch to appreciate. It is one of my favorites. It is like the film American Beauty. When you rewatch it later in life it makes complete sense. In 2002 my friends and I went to see the movie In good company with Topher Grace. It was about a twenty-six year old man who was becoming the boss of a man half his age. I was twenty when it came out. The audience was built around teenagers, and they hated it. My friends and I were the same age. We loved it so much. Check out that movie as well. It is amazing.
This is one of the greatest travel movies ever. Until you go abroad, you never fully understand this culture. Bob and Charlotte never even introduce themselves to each other. That's what makes traveling so exhilarating. You meet these strangers and the next day you're exploring the city together and opening up about intimate feelings and aspects of your life that you can't even share with your closest friends and family. You develop such a close bond with this person and yet you know that when the trip is over, chances are you will never see each other again. It's truly indescribable. But I think that's part of the addiction to travel. It's not just seeing places and having these activities. It's the people that you meet The people who make you feel comfortable and give you that space to self-reflect.
the trailer makes it misleading, like it portrays a feel good, comedy film. this movie is much more slow paced and emotional, a meditation on existentialism
@@dlwsblancaflor7078 I definitely recommend "her". some background, the director of her (spike jonze) was married to the director of lost in translation (Sofia coppola) then they got divorced, shortly before lost in translation was made. so her could even be interpreted as a response to lost in translation and a message to his ex wife. but even without thinking that, her is a beautiful, existential movie like lost in translation
@@mag9418 This film is a masterpiece and widely regarded as one of the best films of the 2000’s. Slow, boring, agonizing? Maybe if you can’t appreciate deep and thought provoking films.
You ever watch a film that leaves an everlasting impression on you? I only watched this film for the first time around a month ago and it somehow felt so nostalgic. I have since watched the film about another 5 times and I can safely say it's now my favorite movie ever.
i watched this last year when academic pressure at university was making me depressed and i was worrying about my future. I can't describe what it is about this film that related to me so well. I think i feel dissociation and isolation just like the two leads in this film.
I've watched this film like at leat 5 times already at different stages of my life (middle school, highschool, college...now I'm almost 30). It's just so perfectly paced, the score, the cute dialogs, the characters...it's a beautifully made puzzle with every piece in its right place.
These two will never see one another again... I think this is why most of us feel such sadness at the end of the movie. I imagine he said to her "You're a beautiful human being. You will find your place in the world, go live a good life." Their friendship/romance was pure. We didn't want to see it end.
I remember watching this movie when it first came out 20 years ago. I remember loving this movie back then. Fast forward 2023 and at 46, I can certainly relate to Bill Murray's character. I got divorce about 5 years ago and my job requires me to travel abroad quite often. I can honestly say that I've made the most random and interesting friendships while in distant lands.
I actually got this movie. I actually spent over a year in a country where I didn't speak the language. There is a certain charm to be lost but nobody can hold it against you because it's not your fault type of thing ....it's pretty sweet man.. and this movie captures it perfectly!!!!
I lived in Japan for a while. I've walked among most of the places featured in this film. I first watched this movie years before moving to Japan while hopped up on medications after having my wisdom teeth taken out. For those who have seen this movie, and felt the effects of percocet, you could maybe begin to imagine the combined effects. I can't remember for sure, but I think I may have cried while watching this movie that first time without any good reason. I know I felt like it. Now, after having lived in a Japan and being strangely distanced from that experience by time, yet missing it intensely, this movie still makes me cry, but for very different reasons. For those who have not lived in Japan, this film may have a difficult narrative and tone to follow, but for those who have, it is so spot on that it evokes gut-wrenchingly authentic reactions. Thank you Sofia!!
librapaladin81 do you feel that your opinion of the movie changed after going? Like after living in Japan, I've come to see that the film's portrayal of japanese people is quite problematic in its stereotypes
@@paperboxes I never thought the portrayals were problematic at all, but I can see why people feel that way. To me, the characters are treated with warmth. I met a lot of people who were very similar to many characters in the film when I was in Japan. I think they are the type of people that visitors to Tokyo come across early in their stays, especially if they don't speak Japanese. Of course the crazier characters stand out, but there were also more normal people in the movie, like the old ladies doing ikebana and the mellow people at the party.
Aha well yeah. Opiates are like +1 to everything in life. It’s so subtle and helpful. That’s what makes them so addictive. Cause they don’t seem like that big of a deal. Until long term usage. Then those effects kinda just become the norm & u need it to be both physiologically & psychologically okay. But I get what u mean, I bet it was a wonderful dreamy warm and cozy time.
I think this movie is a bit more specific than just a "living abroad in Japan" setting, it's specifically about Tokyo, the metropolis, the urban ocean and being an outsider inside it. I have been studying in Sapporo, up north in Hokkaido, and while it's not a small town (2 million residents), the sea and the mountains are near, the people are open and lovely, and the culture is caring in that northern way I recognize from my home country of Finland. Although, I had enough of a grasp of Japanese to carry out daily conversations and talk with locals, which has made my life here much easier to adjust to. Were I only able to speak English, it would probably feel a lot more like Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
This movie is soothing to watch. The calm mood and aching mutual understanding between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson really speaks to me. I especially like the night scenes at the bar with the drinks and cigarettes. The directing and cinematography is excellent.
it is sort of surreal the journey the film takes me on. i saw it when it came out and i was just entering my 30s, i had spent like the last 15 years of my life going out to clubs and concerts and parties and trying to gall in love and i could so totally relate to the loneliness and isolation she was feeling in that completely foreign world. i just watched it again but now i am 51 and totally understand can relate to being on the other side. there is this young beautiful women and she is attractive, but some sort of fatherly side comes out in you. you want to help her you want her to be happy, you dont want to be a corruption, you dont want to damage her. you have been through these things yourself and and you have hurt others and others have hurt you, you dont want to be responsible for that and you just want to protect her. you want to be able to tell her the things she needs to hear to give her the great intangible advice she needs, the advice no one had for you. and it is all just a moment in time that can never last or be reproduced. its one of those fleeting experiences you remember for ever and always look back on and hope they are still out there somewhere and that they are happy, and that gives you some amount of comfort in your own otherwise unhappiness.
I watched this movie on my 13-hour flight to Japan to study abroad for a semester. I had never been to Asia before, and it struck a chord with its themes and mood, the uncertainty, but also the opportunities.
I'm in my early 20s and have no idea where I'm heading and there's something about this movie that comforts the isolation and sense of lostness I've been feeling lately.
Don't overthink it. One of the best moments of my life is when I just let go. Being lost only exists if you are in search of something. Stop searching and let life take you down its current.
If she dies without ever having created anything else, she still leaves this earth with one of the greatest movies of all time for future generations to experience.
I was in my early 20s when I first saw this film, and instantly rewatched it many times as it became one of my all time favorite films. Bcz of 2 strangers having such a connection, the music, the locations, all the characters, all the moments, the aesthetics, everything. I was such naive youngster, plus being a hopeless romantic, that I completely missed the detail that both of them were married… LOL.
i used to travel to asia 8 times a year for couple weeks at a time. the scenes where he is drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar by himself captures the emotion that i felt when i was over there at the hotel bar.
Getting Bill Murray to sing More Than This and Scarlett to sing Brass in Pocket was absolute genius. It brought out their strengths and vulnerabilities all in one karaoke scene
Such a sweet movie and the chemistry between the two main actors is great,they are so good together no matter the age gap..it's almost as if they're the same age sharing same interests and they communicate so well.. love that it represents in such realistic way that feeling of isolation and vague feeling of loneliness.A movie that perharps you will be thinking for a long time after it ends,this feeling of nostalgia and love is timeless.
Finally watched it today, which makes it watching 20 years later that movie was made. Was so stunned seeing scarlet, such a goddess she was. About that movie? man its such a movie which you finish watching and it has so powerful impact on you that u start asking yourself what u doing in here?
Well I saw this twice in theaters and bought it the day it came out on dvd in 2004 so the answer should be obvious. Never even heard of whoever that is, lol
Must be the saddest and most wholesome movie I ever saw. The isolation and eventual redemption, the redefinition of purpose all felt so real. Very good acting and pace, enjoy it every time. PS: The scene, when they finally talk to each other always lightens something up in me
I saw this movie again and the end is so deep I lived the same of situation. When you feel lost sometimes you find someone. Now you still lost but with someone else
Seen this movie more times than any other. Never will get tired of it. So cozy and relaxing. Great solitude and bottle wine movie tho better with a sweetheart.
This movie gave me a sense of HOPE. Way back then. It made me feel hopeful that maybe it wasn't just me that didn't fit in where i was living- of course i always wanted to run off with an older man just like bill murray-smart, funny- wiser than me. I know this feeling of isolation the movie displays, far too well. And no one can understand what it does to the psyche to be trapped in a place for entire lifetimes where no matter what i do people really do not like me- at the grocery store an angry older woman decked head to toe in college gear literally grabbed a grocery cart and physically hit me very hard with it. She hurt me. I almost fell down. I was just trying to buy food-you know for survival-food to eat. She did it to me on purpose. I have had surgeries-multiple serious surgeries and that woman rammed me exactly where one of my tumors had been. This is what they do to me where i live-on purpose. It's not the first time. They have no shame in their cruelty. What's ridiculous is that I too went to that same University. I went there for a very long time. Diligently. For many years I survived on $1 a day. Eating a carton of white rice so delicious and filling. Sometimes I ate my white rice in the women's lounge-doing my homework-where unbeknownst to me I guess I was being "monitored"-that means spied on. And for much of my life I have been treated like a Prisoner-all while trying to simply have a life. So these people with their head to toe gear and their false ideas that I must hate the University and I have to literally be physically assaulted-reminded-just how much they hate me-well, they have done their damage. Especially the spitting and grotesque refusal to simply wear a MASK. The spitting is truly stomach turning. Back then there was still a chance though-that I could meet a smarter man-a man who knew how to take control. Protect me from these crazed people. Now-there is me and my Lhasa. My Golden Bear. And he reminds me of this movie-he reminds me we may be alone and ostracized, but we have laughter still. I dreamt of this movie last night. I was in a different country and this very sweet Japanese woman was handing me back a bunch of my mom's gemstones. With both her hands. They had fallen and she handed them to me-it made me cry because her gesture of kindness is such a foreign feeling to me now. Kindness. Caring. Gentleness. The Soundtrack to this movie was playing in my dream. And maybe I had gotten away with a guy like Bill Murray. At least for a moment, life was far better. And I wasn't being assaulted and spit at. Or called names.
It seems like you ran into a bunch of horrible narcissists. That's terrible, what the psychos did to you. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. That is probably what your dream of the Japanese woman handing you your mom's gemstones was trying to convey to you. I've been in similar situations myself. Maybe Lost In Translation was made for people like us with sensitive hearts, and who appreciate real beauty, as portrayed in this film. God bless you. :)
Yasmin I hear you..."you are protected " you need no protection of no man...This is a man's world...and you have a beutifull light seen by very low vibration people who will hate you for be " a being of light" in a temporary physical form. This energy makes you shine in the dark and therefore be seen. Raise your heard high they may break your body but will never touch your soul. If you look for male's protection you will only get heart broken. I have not watched the movie but from this trailer I can see a young woman, who could be his daughter perpetuating the " idea that women needs man protection " a lost child that actually in reality will only find exploitation. We all need to be safe and protected from warm and abuse...This world started the transition towards humam enlightenment but the battle has not yet began...you are strong trhu gentleness and kindness be yourself beautiful being... ❤️
Whoa what did I just read all of? I'm two years late but read all that and hope you're ok. At least I hope you don't feel like you need a man to rescue you.
This movie makes me think about one of my greatest friends in the entire world, Isa Kayo. She has been travelling the world for almost a decade or so, now. Never stuck in one single place, always moving. I miss those days, but I wish her the adventurous life she ought to have.
This movie hits a very emotional spot for me. Took a tour around Perú with my brother after graduating from college, and the group we were in with the youngest bedsides us was around 40 years old... we initially thought it would be boring... But oh my, as a 24 year old around these sweet, pure, and adventurous souls made me extremely happy and at peace, there was a connection that I never expected The day we had to part ways, I broke down crying, I just didn't want to leave them, I spent all night crying, not knowing what to make of it.... But I believe I have made friends for eternity, wherever they are, I hope they keep being that cheerful, warm, and lively group ❤ Hasta la vista baby 😢
Bill Murray is just perfect in this movie. how he conveys the feeling and idea of what men is going through is just genius. Scarlet Johanson is good also. but Murray gets 10/10 here. i mean, his face expressions - face may look calm, but when you look deeper.. you get it. i just hope i never get in situation like this, knowing he didint do anything shameless here, but just to have this feeling, im afraid.
I First saw this movie in 2017 when i was 18 years old and i couldent understand a thing but when i rewatch it in 2021 then everything started making sense . Somethigs takes time to understand but when you understand its just Beautiful. Love the movie.
One of my favourite movie ❤ I leve everything about this movie the story the characters the music the photography... Sofia Coppola is the best ! And Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray give it all together... Unforgettable movie and it's a cure for depression totally❤
I loved this movie. Only saw it once. On DVD when it came out. Beautiful. Wonderful storytelling. And I think of the title very often about different situations. Peace and love everyone.
El nivel de dirección que tiene esta película nos deja claro, de quién es hija Sofía Coppola para haber heredado tanto talento. Tokio se ve maravillosa en esta cinta. En aspectos técnicos me gusta más que en aspectos argumentales, pero creo que es una gran película.
I feel like Lost in Translation has the same feel that Makoto Shinkai movies have (at least for me). Its incredible, if the movies have their premise set in Japan, everything in the movie has a certain distinct feeling which is just incredibly beautiful. Couldn't love the country more.
I swear it's like I'm in a time distortion, 20 freaking years!!?!? Even the trailer looks super old, I would have guessed this movie came out like 2010
Fun fact, Sofia partially based this film on her experiences of travelling the world with her then husband Spike Jonez, and being left alone when he had to go and work. Her is a film by Spike Jonez based on his divorce with Sofia.
I have good taste in movies, but I like the opening song a lot, so I like the movie and that particular song. I think music is a very important part of a movie, but I am a musician, so maybe more biased in that direction.
Imagine wathching the movie in 2003... Without having the huge impact of internet... Japan looks so surreal.. The hole vibe of the movie is so affective
Just watched this movie in the beginning it's slow and i got like bored a bit cause i was like where is this going ,but as time passed i understood and loved it such a intriguing masterpiece
This movie are for people who felt isolated and lonely in crowded places with no friends , no social activities , places where you tries hard to fit in but dun even know where to begin..the people in the movie were fortunate but in reality it is not easy to find let alone develop such chemistries ..a great movie , it makes you think long after it's over
I connect with it a lot for this very reason
🖤
agree, love your comment
So literally people like myself who spend an unusual amount of time communicating in youtube comment sections!

Lost in translation had a vibe of tranquility and beauty to make the state of being lost a wonderful reality if you find treasure within it.

I wonder that nobody cares that he cheatet on his wife with scarlet on emotional lvl
Noboy seem to notice that
I Think that this is sad
@@davidbogdan8488 well we can say the same about her as well
Every frame of this film had the quality of a beautiful photograph.
I saw Lost in Translation when it first came out. I thought to myself I must go to Japan one day. Well in the past 15 years I have been there eight times.
I felt the same.... ended up going to Greece 8 times instead.
dont follow your dreams john
haha just kidding have a nice flight next time youre heading to sunny japan!!
Yeah well stop going now, otherwise u wont gonna see anymore movie , but just corona 😂😂😂
You must have made some very good friends there! Japan seems very friendly to foreigners.
Aurelian Tudor Dumitrescu yes I have. I have made many friends there. Not just Japanese but other Nationality’s who live there also. I have already booked to go back at the end of the year hopefully if this Corona virus has less of an impact

'The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you'll have. Things upset you.'
EDEN stole this haha
i think you got the quote wrong
OMG THATS WHY IT SOUNDED FAMILAIR. i thought it was some part in a random lofi song
Sophie Muller best lines isn't it
The less you let things upset you, totally different meaning..
"The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you" the right quote :)
Bill Murray should’ve won an Oscar for this wonderful film.
I'm in my early 20s and have no idea where I'm heading and there's something about this movie that comforts the isolation and sense of lostness I've been feeling lately.
Don't overthink it. One of the best moments of my life is when I just let go. Being lost only exists if you are in search of something. Stop searching and let life take you down its current.
Thank you Sofia Coppola, for defying a decade of Hollywood laughing at your talents, and continuing a career in cinema, and then creating this film.
If she dies without ever having created anything else, she still leaves this earth with one of the greatest movies of all time for future generations to experience.
The soundtrack of this movie is on another level ♥️😌
Happy 20th Anniversary to Lost in Translation
I was in my early 20s when I first saw this film, and instantly rewatched it many times as it became one of my all time favorite films. Bcz of 2 strangers having such a connection, the music, the locations, all the characters, all the moments, the aesthetics, everything. I was such naive youngster, plus being a hopeless romantic, that I completely missed the detail that both of them were married… LOL.
A timeless classic and my all time favourite movie.
This is one of my favorite movies. I feel like this sense of being lost can be experienced anywhere, but even more profoundly in a different culture.
This movie is one of the wierdest and genuine I have ever seen. Watched it almost as many times as american psycho :)
And I just found out my soul mate...

Both films are in my top 5. Excellent choices
Underrated movie for sure. Should have millions of views.
i used to travel to asia 8 times a year for couple weeks at a time. the scenes where he is drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar by himself captures the emotion that i felt when i was over there at the hotel bar.
Getting Bill Murray to sing More Than This and Scarlett to sing Brass in Pocket was absolute genius. It brought out their strengths and vulnerabilities all in one karaoke scene
Such a sweet movie and the chemistry between the two main actors is great,they are so good together no matter the age gap..it's almost as if they're the same age sharing same interests and they communicate so well.. love that it represents in such realistic way that feeling of isolation and vague feeling of loneliness.A movie that perharps you will be thinking for a long time after it ends,this feeling of nostalgia and love is timeless.
Finally watched it today, which makes it watching 20 years later that movie was made. Was so stunned seeing scarlet, such a goddess she was. About that movie? man its such a movie which you finish watching and it has so powerful impact on you that u start asking yourself what u doing in here?
This film has the best opening scene in film history
Yup. Scarlett Johansson booty ❤
2001: a space odissey 👍
Who tf is Shawn Mendes
R D M, seriously right? I am so confused about all the Shawn Mendez comments. I must be old.
He's just my husband
Mendes army's all heart
Shawn Mendes is a singer, and he has written a song called “Lost in Japan,” and the entire music video is parodying Lost in Translation.
@@Gar96229 ooooooo thanks for that bit
Who else is here because this is a good movie and doesn’t give a rip about Sean drangus?
Keith Green Me ! Was thinking of watching it !
@@poojasingh-yi5co best movie ever
Well I saw this twice in theaters and bought it the day it came out on dvd in 2004 so the answer should be obvious. Never even heard of whoever that is, lol
@@literallynobody25 watched it finally ...can't believe I was sleeping on this gem .
Right, whos that? Lol
Must be the saddest and most wholesome movie I ever saw. The isolation and eventual redemption, the redefinition of purpose all felt so real. Very good acting and pace, enjoy it every time.
PS: The scene, when they finally talk to each other always lightens something up in me
the way Charlotte always has to giggle a little bit when talking to Bob made me so happy
I saw this movie again and the end is so deep I lived the same of situation. When you feel lost sometimes you find someone. Now you still lost but with someone else
Seen this movie more times than any other. Never will get tired of it. So cozy and relaxing. Great solitude and bottle wine movie tho better with a sweetheart.
This movie gave me a sense of HOPE. Way back then. It made me feel hopeful that maybe it wasn't just me that didn't fit in where i was living- of course i always wanted to run off with an older man just like bill murray-smart, funny- wiser than me.
I know this feeling of isolation the movie displays, far too well. And no one can understand what it does to the psyche to be trapped in a place for entire lifetimes where no matter what i do people really do not like me- at the grocery store an angry older woman decked head to toe in college gear literally grabbed a grocery cart and physically hit me very hard with it. She hurt me. I almost fell down. I was just trying to buy food-you know for survival-food to eat. She did it to me on purpose. I have had surgeries-multiple serious surgeries and that woman rammed me exactly where one of my tumors had been. This is what they do to me where i live-on purpose. It's not the first time. They have no shame in their cruelty. What's ridiculous is that I too went to that same University. I went there for a very long time. Diligently. For many years I survived on $1 a day. Eating a carton of white rice so delicious and filling. Sometimes I ate my white rice in the women's lounge-doing my homework-where unbeknownst to me I guess I was being "monitored"-that means spied on. And for much of my life I have been treated like a Prisoner-all while trying to simply have a life. So these people with their head to toe gear and their false ideas that I must hate the University and I have to literally be physically assaulted-reminded-just how much they hate me-well, they have done their damage. Especially the spitting and grotesque refusal to simply wear a MASK. The spitting is truly stomach turning. Back then there was still a chance though-that I could meet a smarter man-a man who knew how to take control. Protect me from these crazed people. Now-there is me and my Lhasa. My Golden Bear. And he reminds me of this movie-he reminds me we may be alone and ostracized, but we have laughter still. I dreamt of this movie last night. I was in a different country and this very sweet Japanese woman was handing me back a bunch of my mom's gemstones. With both her hands. They had fallen and she handed them to me-it made me cry because her gesture of kindness is such a foreign feeling to me now. Kindness. Caring. Gentleness. The Soundtrack to this movie was playing in my dream. And maybe I had gotten away with a guy like Bill Murray. At least for a moment, life was far better. And I wasn't being assaulted and spit at. Or called names.
It seems like you ran into a bunch of horrible narcissists. That's terrible, what the psychos did to you. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. That is probably what your dream of the Japanese woman handing you your mom's gemstones was trying to convey to you. I've been in similar situations myself. Maybe Lost In Translation was made for people like us with sensitive hearts, and who appreciate real beauty, as portrayed in this film. God bless you. :)
Yasmin I hear you..."you are protected " you need no protection of no man...This is a man's world...and you have a beutifull light seen by very low vibration people who will hate you for be " a being of light" in a temporary physical form. This energy makes you shine in the dark and therefore be seen. Raise your heard high they may break your body but will never touch your soul. If you look for male's protection you will only get heart broken. I have not watched the movie but from this trailer I can see a young woman, who could be his daughter perpetuating the " idea that women needs man protection " a lost child that actually in reality will only find exploitation. We all need to be safe and protected from warm and abuse...This world started the transition towards humam enlightenment but the battle has not yet began...you are strong trhu gentleness and kindness be yourself beautiful being... ❤️
My deepest sympathies for being so hurt physically by that woman at the grocery store. 😪 I sincerely hope she paid for what she did to you
Whoa what did I just read all of? I'm two years late but read all that and hope you're ok. At least I hope you don't feel like you need a man to rescue you.
This movie makes me think about one of my greatest friends in the entire world, Isa Kayo. She has been travelling the world for almost a decade or so, now. Never stuck in one single place, always moving. I miss those days, but I wish her the adventurous life she ought to have.
I bloody adore this film, thank you Sofia Coppola
One of my favorite film.
This movie hits a very emotional spot for me. Took a tour around Perú with my brother after graduating from college, and the group we were in with the youngest bedsides us was around 40 years old... we initially thought it would be boring...
But oh my, as a 24 year old around these sweet, pure, and adventurous souls made me extremely happy and at peace, there was a connection that I never expected
The day we had to part ways, I broke down crying, I just didn't want to leave them, I spent all night crying, not knowing what to make of it....
But I believe I have made friends for eternity, wherever they are, I hope they keep being that cheerful, warm, and lively group ❤
Hasta la vista baby 😢
Who here other than me are watching this NOT because of Shawn?
here because im a cyborg but that okay
I'm here because I heard it was a really good movie and I'm deciding if I wanna watch it
Who’s Shawn Mendez
The 2003-2005 movie trailer list, that's what brought me here.
w3r aw3r
Those ladies in the hospital in the back row seats were cracking tf up..lol such as great film, one of my favorites.
Same
Bill Murray is just perfect in this movie. how he conveys the feeling and idea of what men is going through is just genius. Scarlet Johanson is good also. but Murray gets 10/10 here. i mean, his face expressions - face may look calm, but when you look deeper.. you get it. i just hope i never get in situation like this, knowing he didint do anything shameless here, but just to have this feeling, im afraid.
You have to be in the right place, or state of mind when watching this for it to hit right And if you are... it will really stick with you
Saw this movie for the first time today and it was a masterpiece👌 love Sofia Coppola.
And Scarlett in this movie is crazy cute...
I First saw this movie in 2017 when i was 18 years old and i couldent understand a thing but when i rewatch it in 2021 then everything started making sense . Somethigs takes time to understand but when you understand its just Beautiful.
Love the movie.
SOFIA COPPOLA MASTERPIECE 👏
Many years gone, I still love the emotion that this movie omits. Where has the time gone?
emits.
Sofia's masterpiece
The ending was so intimate so private between them two it almost felt like i was peeping at them 😩
One of my favourite movie ❤ I leve everything about this movie the story the characters the music the photography... Sofia Coppola is the best ! And Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray give it all together... Unforgettable movie and it's a cure for depression totally❤
20 years!
Happy 20th Anniversary 🇺🇸🇯🇵
I loved this movie. Only saw it once. On DVD when it came out. Beautiful. Wonderful storytelling. And I think of the title very often about different situations. Peace and love everyone.
Sofia Coppola really hit a home run with this movie.
I absolutely love this film.
This movie is a masterpiece. I absolutely love it.
El nivel de dirección que tiene esta película nos deja claro, de quién es hija Sofía Coppola para haber heredado tanto talento. Tokio se ve maravillosa en esta cinta. En aspectos técnicos me gusta más que en aspectos argumentales, pero creo que es una gran película.
I loved this movie, bring me a memory a part of my life I met someone like him ones
I'd love to hear more.
@@tonyt.r.5313 Yeah me too, Olga tell us. :(
I feel like Lost in Translation has the same feel that Makoto Shinkai movies have (at least for me). Its incredible, if the movies have their premise set in Japan, everything in the movie has a certain distinct feeling which is just incredibly beautiful. Couldn't love the country more.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
I love this movie one of my all time favourites
I loved this movie. The friendship was so true.
one of my favorite movies
Idk if a movie can be more underrated then this. Most movies that are gold are underrated though.
Amazing movie. In my top 10 of all time. Suntory time
one of my favorite movies of all time
Stylish and soulful film - a rare combination.
one of the best movies ive ever seen
La Rosalia 💃
The Jesus And Mary Chain-Just Like Honey is the first song.
One of my favorite bands ❤
For sure gonna watch this now.
classic movie. study in existentialism. atmosphere itself is melancholic, yet so familiar. brilliant
I swear it's like I'm in a time distortion, 20 freaking years!!?!? Even the trailer looks super old, I would have guessed this movie came out like 2010
Watched it again. Love it as much as ever. Like the way scholars reread Shakespeare and discover something new each time
this is one of my favourite romance films
the others being 500 days of summer and her
Fun fact, Sofia partially based this film on her experiences of travelling the world with her then husband Spike Jonez, and being left alone when he had to go and work. Her is a film by Spike Jonez based on his divorce with Sofia.
@@ibrahimmir1399 interesting, thanks for that
Don't even think. Just watch this movie and You'll smile the whole day.
Who else is here because they have good taste in movies and not just due to some song?
Im here from the soundtrack so...
e4 te4t4es
I have good taste in movies, but I like the opening song a lot, so I like the movie and that particular song. I think music is a very important part of a movie, but I am a musician, so maybe more biased in that direction.
My favorite movie of all time
Not only is it one of my formal favourites. It’s also one of my favourite films from the corporation and studio of Focus Features
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH
it's my all time favorite
Me too
One of the few american movies where no one dies ^_^

Imagine wathching the movie in 2003... Without having the huge impact of internet... Japan looks so surreal.. The hole vibe of the movie is so affective
Fr tho
