hard to say

After I haven't written anything related to the movie in too long, I still don't know what I should write when I watch this movie for the fourth time and take notes when I watch it the last time, How should it be written. This kind of feeling is very complicated. On the one hand, you have planned to do something for a long time, but the more you tell yourself to be fully prepared, the less you can do it, so you will find a lot of excuses for yourself, this thing is slow Slowly stranded, but it is always in your heart, it will hover in your mind when you are wasting time and get bored, maybe you will tell yourself over and over again that you must do this before a certain deadline , but it's still only hovering in your mind. When you really do it, you can't start, you can't do anything... There are many kinds of Lost, maybe this is one kind, of course not the one in Lost in Translation. Then one day I suddenly discovered that The Fray's "You Found Me" on the street could actually be included in the movie. It may be so wonderful. In fact, everyone has the feeling that is difficult to describe in words in the movie. It's just that we usually Lost in Translation, and then when someone expresses it in a certain way, many people agree, but the state and feeling are still difficult to put into words, so using the film method may indeed be a very wise choice.
I can't define what the main body of the film is. Lost in Translation really has many elements, just like a prose written by a sensitive and sensitive female writer - loneliness, communication, men, women, cities, feelings, marriage... …All kinds of words that appear in the lives of women writers, all kinds of subtle states that appear in everyone’s life but are relatively more perceptible to women. I'm sure Sofia Coppola would be a good prose writer.

female details
Good prose doesn't scatter. We see the curves of Scarlett Johansson's young and beautiful hips, the reflections of the glass and the night scene, the drooping corners of Bill Murray's eyes and mouth, the microwave bubbles slowly dissipating in the glass, the endless dubbing on the TV Movies, male and female protagonists peeping out... At the same time, we can also experience Bob's mid-life crisis and Charlotte's marriage confusion, and feel warm because the two ask each other "What are you doing?" See you", the hug at the end produces the softening of the heart that you get when you watch all romantic movies... all the details touch the heart, all the details are part of the movie, they are not poetic - those are for girls The fantasy of the times - it is full of reality and the atmosphere of the times, between the youthful and the mature, it depends on the viewer's psychology. The kind of film and painting that exists in reality and is free from fantasy makes people fascinated.

Lonely Island has
seen a lot of words like loneliness, loneliness, and loneliness to describe this movie. It is indeed a very important word in the movie, but I don’t think the protagonist of the movie is very lonely. It is understood, of course, it also depends on a person's definition of loneliness. I admit that placing a person in a place where no one talks and understands will magnify the lonely self, such as a lunatic asylum, a desert island, a prison... So, when suddenly someone seems to understand your loneliness, it seems to be chewing this kind of When you are lonely, this person who suddenly broke into the original stability will become a savior. You are grateful to him for making the stagnant water calm, and you feel unprecedented ease in communication without translation. The feeling of Lost in Translation is when communicating. forgotten. It is so wonderful between people, the two people who suddenly appeared in the lonely island had to be contacted, passive and active at the same time. The communication between ordinary people is actually a very beautiful thing.

man woman marriage
Notice that when Charlotte and Bob are lying on the same bed, Charlotte is curled up, the original position of a person, while Bob is lying on his back and has his hands on Charlotte's feet. Charlotte wants to protect herself and opens up to people without realizing that deep down defenses are still there, for a non-husband man, even if he's the only man on a desert island, and Bob's actions may Because time has given a middle-aged man the frankness and sophistication that he can show, it may also be out of a natural sense of protecting women.
There are flaws and doubts in both marriages. Charlotte has difficulty understanding her husband's work and friends, feeling lost about marrying too early and not really doing anything, and even more uncertain about what she will do in this lost city. Bob is at a low ebb in his marriage. Everything goes with the flow and everything lacks some kind of emotion. Every time he talks to his wife, he ends up with a child to save the marriage that has been stagnant. Even the new burgundy floor is difficult to Adds the passion of a marriage that has been accustomed to for decades. In this way, the encounter between the two of them seems to be the best candidate for a foreign affair. Man woman, woman man. In the end, Bob still has an exotic affair - a night with a female singer in a bar. Spirit and body, physical infidelity, spiritual infidelity, etc., maybe it is the difference between men and women, just like a movie poster I just saw, two black villains, women's hearts are on their heads, men's Heart in the crotch. This is a common perception.

The city
Sofia Coppola absolutely loves Tokyo, and the film is full of iconic elements of Japan, a foreigner's absolutely nuanced observation of Japan and Tokyo. R/L regardless of the English accent, middle-aged call girls who want to refuse, spoofed TV shows, karaoke, Japanese hot pot, ancient temples, crowded cross streets, huge light boxes, in the game hall Young people... no matter which one is Japan, Tokyo, it is this city. beautiful
