Film Description: After making a striking directorial debut with her screen adaptation of The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola offers a story of love and friendship blooming under unlikely circumstances in this comedy drama. Bob Harris (Bill Murray) is a well-known American actor whose career has gone into a tailspin; needing work, he takes a very large fee to appear in a commercial for Japanese whiskey to be shot in Tokyo. Feeling no small degree of culture shock in Japan, Bob spends most of his non-working hours at his hotel, where he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) at the bar. Twentysomething Charlotte is married to John (Giovanni Ribisi), a successful photographer who is in Tokyo on an assignment, leaving her to while away her time while he works. Beyond their shared bemusement and confusion with the sights and sounds of contemporary Tokyo, Bob and Charlotte share a similar dissatisfaction with their lives; the spark has gone out of Bob's marriage, and he's become disillusioned with his career. Meanwhile, Charlotte is puzzled with how much John has changed in their two years of marriage, while she's been unable to launch a creative career of her own. Bob and Charlotte become fast friends, and as they explore Tokyo, they begin to wonder if their sudden friendship might be growing into something more.

  • @ggboy01 I dunno, I know loads of Japanese people whose english is good enough to actually convey at least some information. More than "turn and look into the camera" anyway. She's not being constrained by politeness at all - except when she turns to the director and uses so much keigo that it's just unnecessary. meh

  • @ggboy01 Scene 1

    Cut cut cut cut! Do you really know what's going on? This has to represent the product. It's expensive, the most expensive among Suntory's whiskey lineup. So do it more elegantly, yeah? It's not everyday whiskey.

    Translator : Could you do it slower and more intensity.

    Director: Suntory time!

    Director: Ok, ready, action!

    Scene 2

    Cut cut cut cut!!

  • @ggboy01 Director: What you're saying is not just about the whiskey. Do you get that? Say it gently like you're meeting an old friend. Gently, and kindly. And let the emotions come up from inside, make sure you don't forget that!

    Translator : Like an old friend, and into the camera.

    Bob: OK

    Director: You got it? You love whiskey. It's sunory time. OK?

    Director: OK, ready, action!

  • @ggboy01 Director : Either is fine! It really doesn't matter! We don't have time for this, Bob, so quickly build up your emotions and look straight into the camera, straight on, gently but with passion, got it? Got it?

    Translator : Right side, and with intensity.

    Bob : Is that everything? I mean it seemed like he said quite a bit more than that.

  • @ggboy01 Bob : Alright, does he want me to turn from the right, or from the left?

    Translator : Um, he seems like he is pretty much ready to go, but he wants to know when you start rolling, and when he looks toward the camera, should he look toward it from the left or should he look toward it from the right? He just wants to confirm that point.

  • Director : On the table in front of you is some Santory Whiskey. Got it? Build up your feelings, then gently look into the camera, and kindly, say it as though you are meeting an old friend. Give everyone a Kanpai! (cheers!) Santory time!

    Woman : He want you turn, look in camera. OK?

    Bob: That's all he said?

    Translator: Yes, turn to camera.

  • @GaijinDiaries I beg to differ. While the basics behing what is being said is very simple, not many Japanese people could accurately translate what's being said in Japanese. The way the translater pads everything out and is very polite, contrasted by the blunt director. Possible for an exchange student, yes, but an average high school student, no way! Not unless it was in their textbook and they learned it off by heart haha

  • bill murray is the king of subtlety.  even when he's intense, it's in a subtle way. one of the funniest actors ever.

    英語のほうがイラつくよ。曖昧な音ばっかだし、汚いし
