Most everyone disargees with me, but ew.
So I'll just copy and paste because my feelings for this movie since they are so strong:
Quick movie background: Stars Bill Murray, Giovani Ribisi, and Scarlet Something.
Rated: R
Lost in Translation is the kind of movie you're afraid to bad-mouth because you fear that it holds a secret meaning you're missing, or you worry that you're too stupid to appreciate the artistic symbolism. I'm going to be bold and tell you, straight out, that this movie was absolutely attrocious. The acting by Scarlet and Murray was very natural and believeable. The movie lacked, for the most part, deep, obvious emotion and the way the actors delivered nothing lines was impressive, but it certainly didn't save the movie. Call me traditional, but I'm partial to movies with plots. Although the humor found in mocking the Japanese was subtly laughable, the movie lacked purpose and pace.
Those looking too hard for meaning in this pile of garbage will tell you that it represents the aimlessness held in all of our lives and stands as a universal flag for the loneliness we all experience. I'll tell you this: Be lonely somewhere else.
Bottom Line: F; if you have to mock other cultures, rent an old, poorly dubbed Godzilla movie.
