  • I can't believe someone went through that much effort to make this video. Not funny, not even amusing, just plain lame

  • no.

  • I found it funny.

  • stupid. Waste of time

  • Sorry, but kinda lame...

  • oh, I hear you! Hate tokyo`s stations, hate Tokyo streets. and maps suks also

  • Out of all the subway systems in the world Tokyo has to be one of the most confusing

  • Out of all the subway systems in all the world, she had to come into mine.

  • This is basically what it's like to be a white guy in Japan.

  • Don't confuse Tokyo with Japan though.. Most of Japan is very unlike Tokyo... people who experience only Tokyo can't really say they've experienced Japan... Lost in Translation the movie was great, but I wished they had also gone way further into the country side... the experience there would have been very different and way more funny with Bill Murray interacting with the environment and the people.

  • @jmminu You missed the entire point of Lost in Translation. Japan really has nothing to do with the film at all, it could have been any foreign country really.

  • @romanticists I beg to differ. If you don't have any affinity with Tokyo and Japan, you cannot produce what Sofia Copolla did. You may not know that Sofia's choice of Tokyo is not by chance. She loves Tokyo and has her own brand and physical store over there, from way before the movie. She's a person who can easily pick up things about the place and that shows in the movie. If you can't see those things, you missed half the movie and missed the point completely. sorry to say.

  • @jmminu Surely not by coincidence, but the sole points and themes of the film doesn't have a direct correlation with Japan and could have easily taken place in another metropolitan, foreign country, while tweaking other parts and certain scenes. What I derived from the film were themes of loneliness, cultural differences, alienation, and most of all, disconnection (both people and your physical surroundings). If they had gone into the country side the entire film would have been lost completely.

  • @jmminu Id also like to point out that while I do not believe that Japan was essential, the metropolitan area was. If they had gone into the countryside, all those themes that I listed above would have been shattered. The sort of barrier you feel in the rustle and bustle of the city, is something that the film really focuses on. There would have been no reason for them to go into the countryside, and would only weaken its message. This film isn't a film about Japan, it's a film about alienation

  • Rofl : D

  • omg! SO TRUE! Everytime I go to Japan I ALWAYS get lost trying to figure out those trains! Great job with this!

  • hehe, yeah, those trains are something else :)

  • hoho. i guess he is just lost in the subway...

    LOL

  • Hahaha that's funny

  • hahahahah so funnyyyy

  • nicely done, funny.

  • hahaha. I am Japanese. Obviously the guy in the vid is tooo tall

  • this video make fun of japanese people

  • ...um, not really.

  • Yes, for example when the guy walks in the trainstation it is sharply bigger that Japanese and he touches almost the ceiling, it is evident that it is made exmeadows to laugh at the size of the Japanese

  • Have you ever been to Japan? Most people ARE shorter than the average gaijin. Granted, it's not the nation of dwarfs some people seem to think it is. When I lived over there I knew a guy that tall; it didn't mean he was making fun of Japanese, it made him fucking tall. This video's just emphasizing his height to emphasize his gaijinness. It's not about making fun of Japanese people, it's about making fun of lost gaijin. That's why it's called, you know, "Lost in Trainstation"

  • sorry but I don't know what's gaijin

  • "Gaijin" 「外人」: The Japanese word for "foreigner", usually white or a westerner.

  • Ok ok

  • what a loada shite

  • fucking funny.

  • Kinda sucks yeah.

  • i feel ill

  • Wow was that unfunny

  • Gee I wonder why its called Lost in Translation 2?

  • lol holy crap, i agree with you 100%!!!

  • I have lived here in Japan for two years, and I SO understood this. Thanks! Arigato gozaimasu!
