Not a "popcorn" film.

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2004)

Lost in Translation is a great film and for those that don't "understand" it or think nothing is happening, seem to miss the point. I think someone said that it's being labeled as a comedy and I would say that those that went to the movie under the impression they were going to see Carl Spackler in Japan oughtta write and get their money back. Hopefully, they were wonderfully surprised, but, based on some of the reviews posted here, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Wonderful film and for those that don't get it, I would suggest maybe waiting until you're 40 or so and take another look at it. And for those that are 40 or so and still don't get it, there's no hope for you so stick to Caddyshack and Armegeddon, nice popcorn films that don't tell us anything about the human condition.
