One Of The Many Contemporary Goods

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2004)

I love contemporary movies.
The reason I liked "Lost in Translation" was because the movie wasn't explained to me rather than shown to me. The movie was an experience rather than an explanation. An adventure film in the city, "Lost in Translation" was the contemporary start to the revolution of modern humanistic film-making in 2004, which resembled films like "Sidways" and "The Door in the Floor." More relative to "Sidways" this movie is also good because of the exploration of Japan, exploration of Bill Murray's confusion, and de-sensitized involvement in the characters of Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson.
The things that are evolving more so in acting quality and human screenplay in these recent years is the realism of acting, and subtle feelings delivered to viewers.
These recent years have shown us that special effects and virtually new films aren't required for cinematic artistry.
