I think you men are not old enough to understand Lost in Translation . When you reach Bill Murray's age go and watch it again, you might feel some more love for the character.

OK, I'll wait until I'm his age before I see it.

Since I am a female does that mean I have to wait till I am Scarlett Johanssen's age? She is only 3 years older than me.

So Christine, I am guessing you like the film..

Can you tell me what was the main idea of the film & what does she whisper in his ear??

She whispers "People are going to think this is something deep and meaningful, but actually it's just this."

This, I suppose, I would agree with. The loneliness theme is well handled, and it's generally well directed, but there is very little to the characters other than loneliness. It just wasn't enough for me, I needed more to care about them. Something like the relationship between the two main characters in Half Nelson where each had a specific problem that sort of forced them together. I think both films have realistic relationships, but Lost In Translation 's just wasn't interesting enough and that was the thing that was gonna either make or break this film for me.

have mentioned the same thing dozens of times.. beautifully directed.. but Sofia what's the story???...
& she also included something rosebuddish in the end to make her movie mysterious...

Ending was probably the best part. It was pretty nice, but then I just felt like 'so what' afterwards, which I think is a reflection on the film as a whole.

I will wait until i'm in a coma to rewatch it.

I am going to watch Ghostbusters when I am old.. that courtroom scene will still be funny.
