one of many movies on my netflix list.
Worth doing!
This doesn’t really have anything to do with the movie, but I was at the library a couple of days ago and saw this knitting book that has the pattern for a Lost in Translation scarf. I checked out the book just for that pattern and it is the next thing I plan to knit…I just need to get the yarn for it.
When I first watched this movie, the scarf that Scarlett Johansson’s character was knitting really caught my eye since it was also around the time I started knitting.

Worth doing!
The movie starts slow and somewhat pointless, but that’s exactly the point: the characters’ disorientation in the alien environment of Japan. The movie then picks up, especially in the way the romantic tension between the too main characters keeps increasing. Their attraction to each other becomes so strong, yet the movie never gives in, and doesn’t end in the classic “happy ending”. Neither of them tries to seduce the other ostensibly; they are just drawn to each other… Bill’s whispered words in her ear at the end when she cries are the quintessence of their experience: “I’ll always remember the past few days with you, don’t part mad”
this VioletDreamer finds that "Unusual travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God" up late, but happily from celebrating friend'sBDay w/ marguaritas...:D
Worth doing!
i’m so glad it won the Oscar—it is amazingly perceptive and subtle
Bill Murray was cheated tho,,,he gave the performance of his lifetime….
Not worth it!
Although brilliantly filmed, the movie is not for me. I did’t enjoy it and really couldn’t wait for it to be over.
