You're being unnecessarily and ridiculously overly analytical and simultaneously condescending.
Everyone I was with - which was my family - did not enjoy the movie. Generally, after I see movies, I surf the net or read the paper to check the general consensus. "Lost in Translation" was critically acclaimed, so when I headed over to TFProject to see what "the average viewier" thought of the film and no topic existed, I started one.
"Lost in Translation" was made with quality, but I despised it. And after reading umpteen positive reviews for the movie, I figured myself in the minority - which, you would agree, I am in - and perhaps inaccurately described myself as bold. Although seeing as how I'm forced to the defensive here, perhaps bold is an accurate description.
I did not contradict myself, though. The critics praised "Lost in Translation" for its depth and true-to-life characterizations, and I appropriately found my opinion of the movie to be that of the minority. So, in my original review, I made sure to point that out. When my suspicions were confirmed by posters, I did state that the group I was with disliked the movie - but only to make the point that I wasn't consummately alone in my opinion, just outnumbered.
And as for my interpretation of your original message: I now understand what you meant. Everyone else liked it - except for the people that I was with. Which would be an inaccurate statement, but point received. Not taken, just received.
Unnecessary.
