tonight we watched one of our very favorite movies - Lost in Translation - for the umpeenth time...

Probably 15-20th time since it came out. I know it is controversial - love or hate sort of a movie. But to us the atmosphere is so perfect - the way it captures the feeling of loneliness and disorientation even when in a crowd, the lost feeling of being in a foreign place, superb music, an unusual depiction of unrequited love, and portrayal of such feelings with a minimum of dialog - so much exchanged by just expressions.....

So now I sit here with my emotions well exercised, a bit raw....but satisfied to have laughed a little and cried a little.

Loved it. Reminded me of being in Russia and feeling like I was in a slightly-twilight-zone film. BlueJazz Nov 2013 #3

Hey,
What do you think he said to her at the end of the movie? I like that it ended that way, but I really wonder.

Peace
