- Bob, who is in town to make a whiskey commercial, doesn't speak Japanese. His director (Yutaka Tadokoro), a histrionic Japanese hipster, doesn't speak English. In one scene, Bob goes on the set and tries to understand the director through a demure interpreter (Akiko Takeshita), who is either unable or (more likely) unwilling to translate everything the director is rattling on about.
Needless to say, Bob is lost. And without subtitles, so is the audience. Here, translated into English, is what the fulmination is really about.
The Japanese dialogue - and the ineptitude of the translator - is actually very realistic for this kind of shoot in Japan.
This is not good enough and I don't give a damn how hard it is. Do it right or not at all.
People wonder why the set was so crowded - there would be a lot of producers there, and representatives of Suntory to make sure everything goes right
Been there. Concur!
It's funny, I remember watching this 20 years ago before I knew Japanese, and again now that I do... the director guy is actually pretty reasonable what he's asking for, haha.
Literally, Bill is not acting here. That’s why we love him.
@john bonjovie or maybe, maybe, he’s just such an awesome laid back human bieng...dun dun duuuun he’s doesn’t need to act at all, just be filmed.
You know what, make this real. Sofia Coppola decided not to give the script to Bill Murray in this part because she want Bill look more confused in the instruction of Japanese director.
@@MrAnz30 no way that’s awesome
@Bill Stevens “Is that all he said?"
Is that all he said? Hahaha
Turn on close captioning for full effect.
thank you!
Excellent advice!
You sir, just made a great scene much better. (-:
Totally different, thanks!
That completely negates the intention of the scene. The movie is literally called Lost in Translation.
Just realized this scene literally demonstrates the title of the movie. So much detail is lost because of the inadequate translator.
I have a bottle of Yamazaki 12, Hakushu 12, Hibiki, and Toki on my spirits shelf all because of this scene.
do you drink it with intensity though?
Saw this movie a long time ago and kinda forgot about it... just recently started getting into drinking whisky and got a bottle of Hibiki Harmony and saw the Suntory name on the box and got flashbacks lol
@@hulkslayer626 on the rocks or neat?
@@lonesaiyan27 Neat. In a Glencairn.
nice
I live in Japan and this is regularly a problem. It's just easier to learn the language.
He's not gonna learn Japanese just for one well paid commercial.
And purple is my favorite alphabet triangle.
That’s normal to learn the language if you wanna stay at the certain country. I live in US and speak English. I don’t blame American not speaking Japanese.
@@ぽっぽ-h9sin the movie, he doesn't live in japan. he's just there for that commercial.
There's no japanese translation in my dvd version. Has a kid I always thought that the director was just a little weird, but I finally get that this is mostly the nice translator lady who are actually making the situation very confusing for both. ^^
Jup. Same here, until I lived in Japan for a while I felt as lost as Bob/Bill did 😅
Director wants intensity, Murray gives relaxed subtlety.
For relaxing time's...make it a Suntory Time
I actually love it even more not knowing the translation.
(Would you like to say i prefer to be... Lost in translation? Badumtss)
Its all the translators fault. What the fck.
One of the top ten movie scenes..... for me at least
in the beginning The director simply says, turn to the camera gently, and with passion say the line like your meeting an Old friend,
i dont know why the translator couldnt relay that bit, it descends into chaos 😅
the ineptitude of the interpreter drives the comedy of the scene
The Closed Captioning button actually makes this even funnier!
The issue here in japan is that Japanese corporations will only use Japanese translators . It’s very very rare to see a western translator in these situations even if their Japanese is near native. Sad but very very true. Just look around any major city, it’s full of signs with weird, strange and incorrect English because a Japanese person made the sign. I’ve lost projects to Japanese personnel whose English was way below my Japanese level.
I saw so many funny translations and misspellings in Japan. Some were really bad. Like erection instead of election at a car rental place
The producer reminds me of yoko onos and John lennons secret lovechild
He looks more like Bon Jovi.
Hilarious. Memorable scene.
Ja, ja, ja, ja
*laughs in spanish
Kkk laughs in portuguese
Cut-o, Cut-o, Cut-o!
This movie is probably the best Hibiki commercial ever.
I don't drink alcohol buy I bought already two different bottles to display it with my other Lost in Translation stuff.
カットカットカット
Wouldn't have been this hilarious with any other actor or comic !.
drinking a suntory whiskey while watching this
Make it Centauri times!
I've lived in Japan. It's funny because they're all sincere and yet still missing the mark.
One of the greatest love stories ever made!
100% agree!
I wish I had a bottle of Hibiki 17 or 21 year, or even 12 year. Unfortunately due to demand they replaced the 12 year with a non age statement bottle that isn't quite as good :(
Still tasty though.
I´m just about to open my hibiki 12yo , I´ve been saving it for 2 years
Yeah its tough getting it in the states now.
Just came back from the Yamazaki factory and picked up a Hibiki 21. Immediately thought of this scene
POV: you just finished your bottle of suntory
I am enjoying right now Hibiki Suntory .... Time ❤
Who came from Telegram Translations Platform?
Near the top for the funniest ever!
You have no idea how much I relate to this.....
I have a feeling that if Charlotte was present he'd be more relaxed and therefore would've had more fun and given a bit of intensity
Yesterday I got called a white supremacist for thinking this scene is amusing. I wish I was joking
I'm a POC and I also think this scene is amusing. Learning Japanese at the moment so that adds to the amusement (can sort of understand what the director is saying). I get the feeling that the woke brigade won't be satisfied until they alienate all but their small band of extremists. And I hold this opinion even though generally support progressive politicians (voting is compulsory in my country so staying home isn't an option).
@@paulorocky agree, also speaking as an Asian American. People have to relearn how to take a joke/understand intentions
😂
awesome sensei Murray
In Philippines, there is Banayad Whisky
It almost ruins the joke, but today I learned there are English subtitles available for this scene. [cc]
That scene is best appreciated, if you understand english and japanese fluently, ...fucked by translator apps and people who use them!
Muhaaaaa the French Champagne....
the worst translator that ever lived ....hehehe
Oh no, I’ve worked with a lot worse ...
this scene is genius on so many levels lol. the last CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO gets me everytime.
Bill's acting here is so strong I literally cannot see the Director's vision at all lol I only see Bill's perfect version
最後の女は誰？
彼女の名前はリオで、彼女は砂の上で踊ります。
Did Sofia Coppola work with that same interpreter during the shootings of Lost in Translation? Seems like she's the real talent behind that memorable movie! ;-)
Who is the last woman?
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand.
Гениальная игра актеров. Гениальная сцена.
Its a joke😅, this Guy IS a totally pilot
haha i understand a bit of the japanese
excellent movie one of my faves
For relaxing time
Just got a bottle today
Classic
Best movie
Yutaka Tadokoro reminds me Kenji Kawai !
!
MOOD.
気分
Where one could get the translation of this for once at all?
Press the cc switch, the closed captions are accurate.
I think a lot of it is lost in translation...
I'm imagining this scene re-done with Google Translate on a smartphone instead of a human translator. Could be funny for totally different reasons.
Salut l'EMCA
Hey coucou
@@lukismakis2366 tes en retard encore et toujours, fallait le rendre aujourd'hui
@@Blito237 ouais... misère :c
That looks like hibiki suntory. Last christmas I treated myself to Uncle Nearest, this Christmas I'm going with suntory because I saw this ad, so while the director isn't happy with Bill's performance, it's a successful ad xD
You have to live in Japan to understand this scene completely
I'm here because of Simon and Martina 😂
Whatever that means. Who cares
Laziest translator ever... 🤣🤣🤣
ROUND. EYE-SU. OKAY?!
