This movie impacted my life like no other movie ever has
same here
Kerrie Sciberras and me. Quite wonderful.
mine too
Kerrie Sciberras in what way if i may ask?
Kerrie Sciberras To have affairs with men over seas?
This film is full of distance, sadness, happiness, closeness and sexual tension. Well done, Sofia.
steelfabric I didn’t feel any sexual tension in this film. Emotional connection, yes, but not sexual tension.
Lack there of sexual tension
No sexual tension buddy.
society today knows no emotional tension
nope, never felt a sexual tension. it was so wholesome unlike the one with assassin who loves milk
He interrupts her so often.... LET HER SPEAK! She is your guest!
Pyotyr Young ...typical of too many interviewers. Charlie Rose is exhibit A of these conceited cretins. Demeaning to such stellar guests and ruins interviews every time .
thats Charlie Rose...its all about him
Larry Horricks ...Charlie is an insufferable, egotistical jabber mouth. Another equally irritating idiot was Larry King.
Good point. "God gave us TWO ears and ONE mouth so that we may LISTEN twice as much as we SPEEK"
Come on she gives him nothing to work with
Shot in 27 days!? Amazing that such a great movie could be made in so little time.
Offsides09 pure magic in the editing
@@f8talfury Yes, just saw an interview with Stephen Nomura Schible and he was anxious they didn't have enough footage and was amazed to see it pieced together. The movie was shot guerilla style without any permits so that's also a feat in itself, shot fast and dirty and came out as a masterpiece.
well not much happens so...
4 million budget
Bob Dylan wrote Blowing in the wind in ten minutes !
She's a total original. I love her shyness.
True!!
I get the impression that Rose hasn't seen the film, doesn't care about Coppola's answers, and can't wait to finish the interview and open a bottle of Scotch.
Agree. It's also very annoying that he keeps cutting her off.
yeah, I like the movie, but this interviewer is irritating... the way he leans down to her, as if he was talking to a talented child...
She's really humble, which is a rarity in Hollywood
That is because she is not from or of Hollywood. Simple.
terry Sullivan yes she is, her father is Francis Ford Coppola director of The Godfather.
@@Blballerboy …and Apocalypse Now
Reinhardt Vogt you think I wouldn’t know that?
@@Blballerboy But may be terry Sullivan not.
20 years later and she’s still one of the most interesting filmmakers working
Such a humble woman, as well as smart & beautiful. I absolutely loved this movie. Well done Ms. Coppola.
Humble? “I make money off of some random business venture a friend suggested so, I don’t have to worry about bills and can make 5M movies”
@@mightytaiger3000 what is wrong with that? or not humble?
@@user-wj4zk2px8h now or then ?
If she weren't "beautiful" you wouldn't bother making this comment.
Being humble doesn't mean to lying about your positive qualities and successes. It's about giving credit to the people around you and not acting superior to other people, lording your success or qualities over them. @@mightytaiger3000 @crisfrey2753 Assuming you know a complete stranger's intentions from reading two sentences of theirs is generally more indicative of your own biases than anything. It's unhealthy to view people in such a negative and reductive manner.
I watch it once a month. It makes me feel alive.
My record is 13 times in 2020. You have me beat overall by a mile tho! LOL!
This is a brilliant film that says more with no words spoken than any other movie of it's time. Scarlett and Bill deserved recognition. Sofia you captured near every emotion that mattered in my life.
I watch this movie every time I’m flying alone on business because it always matches my mood.
I would say the talented Sofia Copola is an introvert.
Ehhh, I don't know if she's introverted though. She seems pretty outgoing. But maybe I'm confusing introverted with reserved.
Also the dude's a creep
@@luisaoc7378 Who's a creep?
Like most humans actually.
@@luisaoc7378 he has proved to be a creep hes been accused of sexaul assualt
One of the most beautiful films I ever seen. Watching and listening to Sofia there is no wonder that a masterpiece like that came out of her mind.
After watching this I love the movie even more. I can really see her in Scarlett's look and performance.
Yes, they have similar vibe... :) 🔝
I think because she probably went through a similar relationship like this and put it into this film. I've watched a lot of romance movies and usually when they feel this real it's often because it is.
This is a movie that I watch over and over again and never lose that feeling it gave me when I first saw it. It’s become like a very close friend I see from time to time.
Wow i love the way you put that as this film means so much to me ,i was watching it one day and my girlfriend came in and said what is this crap you are watching it looks like the biggest load of shit ive ever seen you watch so i forced her to watch it with me the next day and she loved every second of it .I almost never give a movie 10 out of 10 but this is one of them and i make sure I watch it a couple of times a year as it gives me a feeling I cant explain and never get from any other film.
Lost In Translation is in the top 5 of my favourite films of all time. Love it to death.
What are your other 4??
I fell in love with "Lost In Translation" the first time I saw it and the more I watch it, the more I love it.
I used to like Charlie Rose so much from his interviews with various filmmakers, he asks the big questions and he is always interested in what they had to say. But after this, holy shit! this is like the most misogynistic shit ever! I thought it was only in my head, but then I saw it in the comments too. This is so sad and messed up!
Incredible director with such an astoundingly soft touch. I adore her work.
My god she is beautiful
Derek Thomas and so talented
hetero
Yes she is.
@baby jesus no u
I love her teeth
There’s a certain dreamy quality the movie has that I just love
Yes. It's one of those ethereal mood piece movies..
Brilliant, landmark film. Visually stunning. Unforgettable. Sophia is beautiful, so humble, gifted and natural. Charlie is a brilliant interviewer, but he was fanning out on the work, and didn’t let her really speak...
I thought the interviewer was a bit condesending with his body language and never let her finish a sentence before asking or interupting with another question, great movie though
@@bmac63 I agree, it's annoying how he talks too much and doesn't listen to her and interrupts. Seems like famous interviewers should be better listeners.
If there is one movie that touched my heart and went right through my soul it’s this one. I don’t think I can forget it till the day I die .
I agree, till i watched the Paris Texas movie, now i have two movies i will never forget, give it a try🙏💚
Same
Lost in Translation is one of my all-time favorite movies and I simply love Sofia Coppola
Lost in Translation is a masterpiece. I hope Sophia will make a film that surpasses it...
lmao
Won't happen lol it was a fluke
I love this movie. I just rewatched it. But the interviewer is horrible. Why is he so focused on Bill Murray? And no, the movie is not only about Bill Murray's character. It was equally about Charlotte. Why didn't he ask better questions?
I didn’t care as much about Murray’s character. I read it as him being a mentor for a girl experiencing a troubled relationship and the entrapment of it and he helps her to unmuddle her life questions.
Excellent film. Intelligent, insightful, honest, perceptive film about the nature of friendship. Sofia Coppola, daughter of the famous Francis Ford Coppola, hit an artistic peak with this, her second film. Low budget film of only $4 million dollars and a short on location shoot of only 27 days.
u rarely find a scene that is so powerful with no spoken words, just Bill whispering in her ear with powerful musical accompaniment... great stuff, emotionally rich... "just like honey" was the song at the end by THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
Mickey Drago for real tho. The whisper scene always makes me cry. And using Just Like Honey was an inspired choice, the perfect song to ease you back into reality after the beautiful gossamer dream that was that movie.
Happy Bill finally said 'yes'. I really love movies that get your heart in a simple way. No sex scenes, no car chases, no swearing, no computer effects. Just a feel good movie. Code 46 and Elizabeth Town are two other similar style film's, when subtle moments and good filmography makes it all work. We'll done Sofia.
I don't know those films, thanks. I like "Museum Secrets" and other quiet films. Anyone else with recommendations?
@@TorontoIam Try "Her", it's kind of a spiritual successor to LIT
Good suggestions
@@TorontoIamAlthough it’s a 1980 film Ordinary People was very good, so was The Merry Gentleman with Michael Keaton. Edit: Quiet films for the discerning taste about the most important things in films, human drama and interaction, I also love these kinds of films, Hollyweird doesn’t do it for me with their Green Screen, CGI, pyrotechnics and shallow plots.
Charlie Rose is the worst interviewer I have ever struggled to sit thru. He never shuts up! How he is known for his interviews is beyond me.
I think this one was especially bad since she’s so soft spoken and shy. Normally he does well with sort of more zaney types who give long winded answers. He was also apparently a creep so maybe he was tryna smash
It really can go either way with Charlie, he definitely interrupted far too much in this one, just as Sofia was getting to her point or about to add details to an anecdote..
im glad i saw this... like this was such a horrible interview, i feel for her... he just kept yapping
He also has that unmistakable "boomer slur" that just drives me up the wall. Enunciate, Charlie, enunciate. He swallows his L's and other consonants like crazy, like he's trying to blurt out as many words as possible in a short amount of time andisjustblurringallthewordstogether before he gets interrupted.
Agree. He is painful to watch. Interrupting. Pawing at this magazine.
The interviewer is not only rude with his frequent interruptions, but he is also provng himself to be completely inept. He has failed, consistently, to ask the important and probing questions when they should have been asked. As a result, a great opportunity has been missed. An opportunity to get to know and gain insight into, the intimate world of Sofia Coppola herself. What isn't being shown here, and it would take the reader of this only a few moments of research into Sofia's life to understand is that the movie "Lost In Translation" is really about her. It is about not knowing who you are, what your supposed to be, or what you are supposed to do with your life. It's about being young with your whole life ahead of you in world of infinite possibly. A world of wonder with so many places to go, things to do, sights to see, experiences to have, and people to meet. It's about the confusion of youth. It's about the trebedation at the thought of possibility making the wrong choices and decisions in life. What will happen if I do this? What happens if I don't? What wonderful experiences and opportunities would I miss out on if I don't choose? What if I attain my goals, and I'm unhappy with what I've attained? What if by choice I miss out on something better, or more fulfilling? What's more important: happiness, or financial success? Can I have both? The quest for the answers to these and other questions can go on and on. Anxiety and frustration can be found throughout this quest. One thing I can say is certain, that this film isn't about the chance meeting and potential love affair between the two main characters, so much as it is about the life of young Sofia Coppola herself.
So many interviews ruined by hosts who keep interrupting. Or worse, not knowing the topic thoroughly.
whoa typed alot
What a great, well-thought-out comment! ✨
Exactly I was shocked when the interviewer stated that the movie was about Bill Murray only
i know right? most interviewers, especially at the time this was filmed, only focus on superficial aspects of the movie, person, book or whatever piece of art their “interviewing”. lots of missed opportunities.
«Lost in temptation” 😂. A wonderful film. So heartwarming and honest.
Man...Charlie steps on Sophia's replies all thru the interview.
"To me it's just about those moments in life that are fleeting but the impressions stay with you" @6:09 YES!!!! THANK YOU!
Bill Murray should have got an Academy Award
This movie is pure subtle Hollywood romance at it's best. The characters feel like real people and enterties themselves. Charlotte, Bill, and Tokyo. This is pretty much Sofia's masterpiece!
What an amazing woman and director!
Lost in Translation is so rewatchable, and rewatchable movies are my favorite kind of movies.
I love everything she's ever done.
It's my favorite film. Interestingly, I avoid watching it now because I don't want to ruin the sublime memory I have of it.
apojoga Nah, try to rewatch- it’s still good. Don’t fear- it just gets better.
I do the EXACT same thing. I own the damn thing but just fear watching it. That feeling you got when you watched this masterpiece for the first time. I want to hold on to that forever.
@@madman0004 same here. my favorite film and I rarely watch it.
Keep watching it! I’ve seen it countless times and it’s still my no.1! I find something new each time.
I definitely agree with everyone, it is my fav film and I’ve seen it countless times... I have never lost my original memory from it... if anything it has grown stronger!
Great film. I can watch it again and again. Always wanted to go to Tokyo since. Great soundtrack too.
This movie is a classic. Sofia Coppola is as fine a director as her father was.
I enjoyed hearing her talk. She is like a ballet of calmness.
Loved Lost in Translation! There's so many great moments! It's funny and sad. The Oscar was well deserved for Sofia!
Best movie ever.
I agree. My other favorite movie of all time is 'On The Waterfront'. I can watch them over and over and never tire of them.
There is a beauty in Lost in Translation and also a haunting sadness. There is an intimacy that isn't overtly sexual but overwhelmingly deep. Two people that found each other but they realize that the moment is all they have and that the forces of the universe (time and space) will soon make it impossible to be more that.
I have watched Lost in Translation several times. It is a great escape.
This film is still my all time favourite film. It relates on so many levels :-)
Thank you Sofia for making Lost in Translation.
she's stunning.
Sofia is a living goddess
She's a doll. Love Sophia Coppola. Thank you Sofia for, "Lost in Translation."
She gives her best to people and I am so grateful for that honesty as a sensitive human being so creative.
Lost in translation is a masterpiece on many levels.
One of the best movies I've ever seen
Lived all alone in nyc for a few years I got to say this movie nails what its like to be surrounded by millions of people yet still be lonely. Even though it is set in Tokyo it reminds me of New York more than movies set in nyc.
A fabulous movie, I instantly related to this having visited Tokyo many times, I work in the entertainment business and the long days in Hotels in strange cities, filling in time, strange cultures and eating dinner alone or going out alone waiting for the day of the gig, isnt for everyone but this movie I loved so much, fabulous acting and beautifully shot with such a great script..
Good to know more about this great movie and herself, but please let her finish..
My favourite scene is when Bill is waiting in the hospital waiting room and trying to understand the person next to him lol
Sofia offers you a subtle poem in celluloid. She attains the felicity of impact without exploiting any of the hand-me-down cinematic clichés. No bells jingle and no trumpets blare to accentuate the magic moment. Hints, gaze, posture, nuance, gesture, pause, silence constitute the vocabulary of semiotics of erotic attraction. Every touch is tentative, downy, endued with the winking search-light of a self aware libido. The moth barely brushes past the elegant arras. Sofia reveals her creativity in hushed whispers.
boganus699 at least the OP can explain with actual words his feelings on the director and their art, you simply call it "pretentious" without actually saying anything worthwhile. only ignorant and close-minded people resort to calling things that they don't understand "pretentious"
Sofia reveals her creativity in hushed whispers.
Prof Sattar Basra she made a nouvelle vague European film not a Hollywood film.
Absolutely. She made a cinematic masterpiece. Just beautiful, real and relatable even if it’s dreamy. It’s just perfect.
All of that except for the erotic thing
One of my favourite films of all time! What a masterpiece! And shes no eye sore either😊
Words fail.
the interviewer is incredibly terrifying... I would have died a hundred times if I were sofia.
lena schopenhower right? Jesus he’s so forceful and aggressive
I especially hate the way he approaches women since forever... turns out I wasn't wrong. He was accused of harassment recently.
He has a very bad vibe
Wow! Thank you for this gorgeous film.
my goodness, im in love
Remembering wayching it in 2004 i feel it like it still is today.. Best film ever watched wonderful soundtrack love all actors... Beautiful.. And I love Sofia she's incredible.
Sofiea directing and filming, I read a book by Geoff King of Lost in translation. He breaks it down with social structure, japan being its base, it may seem it was inticeing stereotype japan. I didnt see it, but looking at it it dose give quarks here and there. What I got with her film 2003 is that it was set and facial expressions, were like reality would act like. It explained about comedy in general where these instruments come from in its duality sense. Back them tv shows or films were so glared too action films. This film gave an indication of our generation of isolation and loneliness and our post-modern world. Sophiea work was spot on with subtletee. She carefully took the camera in her own way to not give answers, but give talkative questions about relationships, interation and people in general. The book also is one of my favourite books of Geoff King explaining lost in translation. It gives insight of the characters and how they Express themselfs. I was always looking for something that related in a sense of our reality in its expression sense of showing not just the box influence but rather the production setting and broader aspect surrounding these two characters.
Anyone who could film in 27 days in a country as foreign as Japan with somebody as difficult as Bill Murray and get a credible movie and a decent take, deserves their own Oscar. " Hats off gentlemen, a genius".
man's is dogging Murray wth
It's pretty easy when your last name is Coppola. The name is so powerful you don't even have to use it to open every single door, ask Nicholas Cage. Also, Lost in Translation is a fetid piece of crap. Bill Murray got credit for acting like furniture for 2 hours. Well done.
@@anameyoucantremember hope you get well soon
@@drolucard there is no hope
My favorite movie! Wish I was born before it came out in theaters. Would have definitely watched it on the big screen then.
The interviewer was insufferable. He constantly interrupted her, couldn't even finish his own questions, some of which were a bit uncomfortable. What an egoist. She deserved better.
I have the highest regard for Sofia Coppola. She has a brilliant mind.
Awesome work by Sofia
I was Bob. The girl was Charlotte. Thank you because our parting was right out of the script.....with the whisper being whatever we want. I love you Sophia for making this film!!!!!!!
She’s gorgeous hard to believe her and Tarantino dated for awhile
Great artists always date beautiful women.
I had huge crush on her when I first watched The Godfather part 3. She is really beautiful.
You should have your eyes examined. She is very plain.
The scene with the Alone in Kyoto track is one of the most magical scenes of the 21st century.
That's really something else that song
I love Sofia, and I love this film so much
Oh, boy, this woman is amazing.
this interview gives off a First 48 interview vibe. Dude shouldn't have been so quick to speak, quick to change topics, and just should have let her talk.
lol ' FBI investigation 😄
@@caballerotony7329 right haha. She's so sweet and chill man. Dudes got soo much tension lol
To be fair, the guy was doing it for 26 years before it got axed so people apparently liked it.
@@Sbensonn shut up sb.. lol (said in a playing tone) you know he was being to quick to speak in this one.
Who is this interviewer? he is terrible, does not remember the title of the movie? shuffles through some papers when Coppola talks to him, geez. I love the movie though, I can relate to it, I travel to Japan often and feel alienated and lost without language, so, sit in a hotel lounge, drink, and chat with strangers. I love it.
I have so many favourite films, all very good and different, but, Lost in Translation has made me so much more Living, etc... Thanks Bill, Thanks Sophia.
He said “lost to temptation” how do you have the movie title wrong bro
A Freudian slip maybe
Such a brilliant, thoughtful woman
He was The Best, and so much are you. Thank you Sophia, so much. I love Bill. I love Johanssen.
So focused and sincere. None of the show-biz glib gabbiness that we often see from people in that industry. Sofia has the benefits of inside insight but she sounds like someone who is intelligent and knows what she wants to do. "Lost in Translation" came out in 2003, so this interview is about 10 years old.
Always graceful in any situation.
Her personality is extremely attractive
Completely agree
I love you Sofia! Always will.
Beautifully shot film- she’s a super talented filmmaker
He’s speaking to her like she’s a child and you can tell she can feel it. He’s like a condescending uncle at thanksgiving sort of dismissively asking her about what she’s doing these days. Also Charlie…it’s a I’ll Murray, not Bill Marry
She is great. Love her movies!
One of my all time favourites ❤
It’s one of my favourite movies - love Bill Murray and I love Tokyo. Sophia Coppola created such a great movie, she is an amazing writer and a brilliant director. I also have to say I did like her performance in THE GODFATHER III, she did not deserve the negativity in some of the reviews. She is very talented and genuine.
My fav. movie. After seeing, I wanted to visit Japan and do all that they did in the movie.. the karoke, etc.. beautiful movie by her..
Sofia! So cool that she took the craft after her father.
Having been to Tokyo then seeing this after i loved this movie so much ❤❤❤❤
One of the best comedies ever made, one of the best love ballads ever made, one of the "best finding yourself" films ever made, one of the best cross-cultural films ever made. One of the best films ever made.
i always thought charlie rose was great at interviewing for some reason but i saw how atrocious all his constant rude interruptions are now, it was painful to watch thru all of it, but sophia is so amazing and thoughtful!
I love sofia as a director
I love sofia. She has the same sorta artsy crafty sensibilities as I do. She likes the same sorta music that I do. And she seems awkward and shy and humble.
