Sorry, but kinda lame...

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

@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

[romanticists]

@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.

@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 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.

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

[jmminu]

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.

[aenimalogy]

no.

[IdrinkCocaCola]

I found it funny.

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