:: lost in translation ::
well before i start... i'd like to say that scarlett johannson, like her name, is really pretty... and that i like her lipstick a lot. heh heh... it's a really nice film... subtle... yet so charged with emotions. maybe to some they'd say it's boring, yet i was transfixed to the tiny tv screen (i watched on dvd) while talley/o'connor lay open and untouched in front of me. it's about how two americans who happen to stay in the same hotel, getting to know each other and spending a wonderful week in tokyo. note that wonderful excludes the usual things like sex and passionate love. there're lots of soulful looks, sidewards glances and other subtilies and those are the stuff of the film. bill murray stars as a middle aged actor, long past his prime, estranged from his wife and kids, all alone in tokyo, where he's at least a head taller than everyone in the elevator. he appears worn, jaded, even bored. scarlett, on the contrary is relatively newly-married and has followed her husband, a musician, to tokyo. she's young but paradoxically looks fatigued, indifferent, lost and so lonely in this alternate culture. it's beautifully filmed, it's realistic, and it's touching, and peppered with little funny turns here and there. i would recommend it for all, especially those who want a change from typical action/love/drama films. watching 'love in translation' was like biting into a cool refreshing grapefruit. dun ask me why or how i drew tt analogy...
