An excellent film.

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2004)

When I first rented Lost in Translation, I prepared for another Hollywood fluff film. I was extremly wrong. This film has substance. You may not see that at first, but if you really watch the movie and take it all in, you can see the greatness of it. Both Bill Murray and Charlotte Johansson were expertly cast for this movie. Their acting was excellent. In my opinion, Sophia Coppola should have won Best Director. While Best Original Screenplay is really awesome, I'm glad that in the years to come there are no more parts of the LOTR to steal away the spotlight. I admit, the movies were great, but I think Lost in Translation should have been noticed a little bit more, rather than being in the VERY LONG shadow LOTR has cast.
