- Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) takes a spiritual trip to Kyoto where she visits a temple and tries to process her mixed up romantic feelings.
Lost In Translation (2003): Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) are two Americans in Tokyo. Bob is a movie star in town to shoot a whiskey commercial, while Charlotte is a young woman tagging along with her workaholic photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi). Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in the luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens, and ultimately discover a new belief in life's possibilities.

Every scene is perfection, in this movie. The pace, intensity, use of light and colour.
Sofia coppola is so talented 🎉
Love the music and her observing the bride and groom. So beautiful.
Rain is Natures empathy for The Lonely.
I wanna Live, I wanna Breathe.
I so desperately want to.
The entire movie is great, but I really love this 3-min clip of her trip to Kyoto. I've been to Kyoto twice now, including the temples that are in this scene, and it's honestly one of my favorite places on earth.
The scene captures the aura of history, nature, and tradition you'll see all around Kyoto. Yet it's in the modern world since a few blocks away from almost any major temple is a modern living city. It's truly an incredible city and area, and the music and sound design of the temple bells at times works so well here. Also capturing the nature and crows which I've heard in the fall there is spot on.
Scarlett is always beautiful 👌
bravo, so gorgeous ,adios- 🤚
Film semplicemente stupendo !!!! Alessandro Firenze Italy
That's a Fairy devotion.
I wonder If I’ll ever Find the One.
U won’t
The ladies aren't throwing themselves at someone who identifies with a Pixar character? Surprising
I love this movie, and this is a beautiful scene, but Charlotte's weepy reaction after her visit to the shrine really struck me in a negative way. She whines on the phone to her friend/family member/therapist/whatever about how she didn't "feel anything" as she walked the grounds, listening to the monks chanting. I mean, why would she feel anything? It's not her culture; she didn't grow up with the generational beliefs and rituals on display before her, and unless she studied Shinto academically (which she didn't; she says she majored in philosophy, not anthropology or comparative religion), she has little or no context for what those beliefs really mean to those who were raised with them. There's nothing to suggest that those beliefs are any more or less right or wrong than her own (one can reasonably assume, being American, she was raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition, a western interpretation of Buddhism or some New Age philosophy, or perhaps atheist/agnostic), so it's unlikely that she'd be swayed from her ideological framework by such an encounter. Remember, this a college-educated person; trained to think critically about their environment and experiences (unless she was a bad student). To assume that you'd have some profound awakening of spirit simply by standing in a sacred space (sacred to others, that is), languidly participating in the rituals while trying to absorb their meaning through osmosis, is both narcissistic and culturally insensitive. This is made all the more revealing when one considers Charlotte as a stand-in for writer/director Sofia Coppola, herself...
This was “ Lost In Translation”
I just wanted to clarify that when she's telling her friend about not feeling anything on the phone, that was her visit to the temple in Tokyo. This Kyoto scene is ambiguous whether she felt anything or not. Seems like she enjoyed it and made some impression. If you were referring exclusively to the first temple scene, then disregard this portion of the comment.
As for her whining and not being able to grasp, I can shed some light and my interpretation of it. I'm half American and half Japanese, born in Japan but raiser half of my youth in a western country with Judeo Christian principles. I've lived a little over half of my life in Japan but when to an American school in Japan which also instilled Judeo Christian principles. Being bicultural and growing up in a bicultural environment, I think I have more perspective than others regarding the dichotomy of Japanese and western culture.
Charlotte is lost and a little depressed with her life. She feels no connection to her husband and is hoping for some magical epiphany to snap her out of it and give her the answers. I think that's why she has that audio book CD about finding her soul's path. It's difficult enough as it is for anyone to find meaning and fulfillment in life, and especially at her age, because she's curious, and a bit of an intellect, the lost feeling she has seems to be more overwhelming for her. This search for meaning and a different perspective likely prompted her to visit the temple in hopes to feel something or "awaken" her, but unsuccessful in her attempt, she broke down and cried, especially when her friend showed no interest or attempt to try and connect with her plight.
Furthermore, the contrast between Japanese Buddhism (which is rather distant from Buddhism) with Judeo Christian ideology isn't a barrier to "feel" something. If anything, due to then contrast, it should leave a larger impression than the typical Japanese person who goes to a temple, since it's something that they've done before and grew up with.
I know from living here, Japanese people do not identify themselves as spiritual, nor do they believe, nor are they knowledgeable, about Buddhism and Shintoism. They go to such places out of tradition and customs, and as a way to have some kind of time killing activity every now and then. They do participate in some of those omikuji, prayers, and listen to the chantings, but out of all the Japanese people I've ever asked (which is a relatively large sample size) I don't think I've heard a single person say they feel, believe, or take any of it seriously. The common response here is "it's just a custom".
I think this is a great movie. Needs a sequel set 20 years later.
strongly disagree -- there's no story to tell. This could well be Scarlett and Bill themselves at the dawn and dusk of their respective careers. They'd have nothing more to share at this point. Besides, this is such a lovely, self-contained little fable on its own.
Although it may scream sequel some things are best just left untold. The magic is contained in this one movie.
This is such a bad movie the hype of these movies is so weird
I suppose you like your crash bang movies. There are plenty of those for you kids. The adults are talking here. This movie is amazing. Unforgettable. It plays on your mood and wonder.
@@curiousnomadic if by "crash bang movies" you mean one with 3 real acts, with characters growth or ingrowth, a movie that's is supposed to make you like you hero (protagonist in this case Bill and Scarlett) yeah i prefer one of those Crash Bang Movies, i had to analyze this movie for a class and i think i know what I'm talking about when i say this movie was boring asf
