Lost in Translation (2003) - I'm Lost in Japan! I Can't Understand a Word!

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2011)

Sofia Coppola writes and directs a tale of being lost, and how to come back to life with "Lost in Translation". Now, the story was interesting because it was brilliantly written and casted, and Sofia Coppola really brought a charm and a unique charisma to a story that involves friendship and fixing our life around. But to me it was just another well-written feature, and it just does not contain a real heart to the story, but the cast of Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson created a well-known chemistry together. But even with great chemistry, writing, casting, and an imagination by the daughter of the 'Godfather' director, the film was kind of losing heart, and it was impossible to search for the love, but the message of the movie was uplifting. Anyways, the movie was kind of funny, but most of it was really trying to make me think that the movie was more like a comedy, instead of a heartfelt drama. The film does have its moments, and the Coppolas never disappoint. "Lost in Translation", in my review, "imaginative writing, but loss of heart".
