Lost In Translation

I was watching this movie, Lost in Translation.
Interesting stuff.
I wonder if it's true that about ten seconds of talking in Japanese really translates into about two in English.
Also, someone right next to me, whenever he saw Bob Harris, would whisper, 'pedophile' into my ear.
Well, I guess it fits.
But towards the more literary side of the movie,
it had a good realistic aspect to it, nice awkward silences.
umm...
Interesting plot, I guess?

So, it doesn't seem like you were too crazy about this movie. Do you think you didn't like it that much because it was so realistic? I know personally I tend to like unrealistic movies or books because they offer a view that's new and an escape from reality. The Japanese/English translations are always funny though, especially when you see their mouths going after the English is done...I haven't seen this movie yet, but I plan to soon, so maybe I'll write back with some more notes on it then. - Ally

I like this little entry on the viewing experience, but I'd like to know more about what you mean when you say "interesting stuff."
