[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1456052, member: 812"] I liked about [i]Lost in Translation[/i]: The Characters. They were NICE people. They tried really hard to do the right thing, and still be open to each other. I would like to meet them at a Tokyo bar. The Actors. Both Scarlett and Bill were great. Lovely, subtle performances with a couple of great moments for each of them. The Look. I thought it was beautifully photographed. Not splashy or flashy or anything, but luminous and rich. The Feel. That's EVERYONE's first year in Japan. I lived there for a number of years and that's what everyone goes through in their first year. It feels exactly like that movie felt. I didn't like about [i]Lost In Translation[/i]: The Story: Got pretty tired around the midway point. Unfocused, you might say. Not sure it really earned its ending. The Hype: This picture would not have gained a Best Picture Oscar nom had the director's last name been, say, "Robinson". Just saying. Overall, a good picture with something interesting to say about human beings. I'm glad I watched it, might even watch it again someday. I would recommend it to just about anyone over the age of 20. Not much for teenagers, I guess (except Scarlett Johanssen in see-through panties), but I think most adults would like it. [/QUOTE]
