Things I learned from Lost in Translation

Rating: 3/10 (5 September 2019)

I'm a little late to the party, but I gave it a go and I found it very insightful indeed. It taught me a lot, honestly. Here are some things I picked up while watching this great film:
1. Japan has a culture that is considered to be strange, awkward and plain dumb. There are hardly any exceptions.
2. It's completely normal to cheat in a relationship, as long as the other party doesn't appear to be extremely appealing at that moment. Oh, and there are no moral dilemma's attached whatsoever, so by all means, go for it.
3. If you've got money and fame, you are considered above the rest and you can treat everyone as such. Especially the Japanese, since their culture is already considered to be inferior.
4. Even if you do not try to fit into a different culture and its people, just nod politely and next thing you know it, you get what you deserve. After all, you are the guest, so they should obey you, not the other way around.
5. It's a movie and surely its message doesn't have any moral obligations. Movies are like zoos or entertainment parks. They have nothing else to show us than pretty imagery and clever quotes.

For those few who thought I was being serious: Hi there! I hope you liked this movie, as I'm sure you have. Just do not rate it, for the love of good movies.
