      Lost In Translation--We Are all Living Our Lives Lost

      Sometimes life is like this. In your life, you will always meet some people or things that are destined to be deeply or forever remembered by you, inadvertently. There will be times when we are lost; there will be various crises; we will continue to repair the mud on the road; and we will also get lost. We are always moving forward, and there are many stop signs in front of us. We may be used to embarking on...

      Turn around, the confusion behind

      In a hotel with only Bird Voice TV, in a bar with many people of the same race in a foreign land, in a street where people are rushing, in a confused heart.

      Maybe only at this time, looking at the past life, will I find that it is so messy, and now it seems so confused and overwhelmed.
      We used to run all the time. It seems that something has been chasing us from behind, making us hurry up. Real, or imagined that there is such a devil. The past life was full of joy at first sight....

      The person you loved, the city you fell in love with

      Some things, we don't push it to happen, we wait for it to happen. Is there a difference between these two? It seems not. There are no innocents in life, our hearts are as clear as water, we don't know it, let ourselves get lost in a foreign land, the smell of wine, the tender embrace of a stranger - we are all adults, we have been lonely for too long, we can't bear it Blame yourself.


      Tokyo, the streets at night, are like the beautiful, addictive and coquettish faces of all big...

      just let this song

      At that time, I was very used to watching discs when I first arrived in a different place. At two or three o’clock at night, the dim lights of the
      whole
      building were
      neatly unfamiliar in the corridors on each floor. After drinking and continuing to pick up, the

      most impressive thing is that this film
      may be the same amount of loneliness, the
      same kind of lost, the
      same mood
      blooming in the same prosperous and extravagant city, so
      dazzling that...

      Kiss, then Goodbye...

      A trip and a work , a picee of music and a piece of advertisement , a young married woman and a middle-aged man,a kind of lost or an attitude to life .Then the story start ......
          The duty, freshness, exchange to family and the state of work perhapes a little bit boring to Bob. Although he always said "OK" , "Thank you " to the Japanese photographers and Receptionists, actually the Japanese are so ridiculous. Remember when director said a lot of words to Bob with odd gestures ,but the...

      The loss and emotional helplessness of living in a foreign country are easily and gently narrated by the film with the help of the American case in Tokyo, and neutral stories and themes fill the entire...

      It's been a long time since I watched this movie. Although the storyline is a little forgotten, in my memory, the scene of the heroine walking on the streets of Tokyo will still appear. The tone is very casual and suits my...

      2018.12.07. After many years of rewatching, I still like it very much. What did they say in the end? The two are so happy and like this ending. My favorite detail is when Bill fell asleep in the car and returned to the hotel with Bill hugging Scarlett who was asleep. The other is that Scarlett's foot kept touching Bill, and finally Bill held Scarlett's foot.

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The actor is written specifically for Bill Murray by director Sophia Coppola. She also said that if Murray did not act in the movie, she would not make it. Murray had verbally agreed to appear before, as to whether Coppola would appear as scheduled. On the first day of filming, Murray came to the set.
    2. Once the crew rented a hotel for filming. The agreement was to borrow until 4 pm, but the crew was cut off by the owner after only...

    Creative background

    The film was inspired by Sophia's travel in Tokyo when she was in her 20s. That experience made her feel a lot of emotions. For example, she feels that when she suddenly meets her fellow villagers in a foreign country, she often has a wonderful sense of intimacy and even excitement. At the same time, she finds that in a strange environment, it is easy to fall into the examination and thinking of life at midnight. Sophia hopes to...

    Evaluation action

    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.
