I actually agree with her about
Lost in Translation. For me, it's more like a fine painting than an actual film. There's not much being said, so you're left with all this wonderful imagery that gets you thinking, but not much else. You look at it, watching the color changes, and the visually represented emotions, and you nod your head, and say, "Yes. Very nice." The film has a message, obviously, and I got it, and liked it - but I didn't find it as influential as everyone else.

But again, that's the thing. You aren't really supposed to
like them. They're just people, and that's what makes it feel so real. Hell, I don't like more than half the people I know.
I can understand not wanting to watch people you don't like, but I'm all about watching anyone, so long as it's interesting.

You know,
Lost in Translation seems to reflect its creator, Sophia Coppola, in nearly every way. She's attractive, visually interesting, full of eccentricity, and she's got an underlying sense of intellect and deep-thinking about her - she just doesn't really much of anything to say.
