Sophia's past works always show her uniqueness from the perspective of young women, but this time she enters the psychological world of a middle-aged man. She believes that in fact, the heroes and heroines in the film are in similar life dilemmas. Whether it is the crisis of middle age or the confusion of youth, they also doubt the existence of human beings. This dilemma is further intensified by being in a foreign country.
In "Lost in Tokyo", she made a leap forward. This emotional film has a natural sense of humor, which comes from the cultural conflict caused by the different situations of "Americans in Tokyo". In fact, there is a third protagonist in the film, which is Tokyo and the Japanese culture it represents, or more precisely, the Japanese society in the eyes of Sophia Coppola. Here, she uses Japan, this strange country, to strengthen her sense of loneliness of existence. The situation of being in a foreign land and having difficulty communicating effectively with the surrounding environment embodies the eternal loneliness of human beings, and the sense of alienation that seems to be out of touch with the surrounding reality highlights a sense of bewilderment at a loss. Sophia has so precisely grasped the loss in the soul of contemporary people, gently touched the softest and fragile part of everyone's heart, and pulled out all the hidden loneliness and sadness.
"Lost in Tokyo" makes many people in a foreign country feel the same. "Lost in Tokyo" as a classic romance film has both the humor that makes people laugh, and the tenderness that makes people feel more cordial. Like all love stories that are memorable and memorable, it enters people's hearts with bitter sweetness, beauty and moving.

Coppola and her actors in "Lost in Tokyo" set romance and comedy unexpectedly, which is just right and depends on the authenticity of the characters. (
