lost in translation:

whatever you may think about it being bad, you're wrong.

well even if you're not wrong, it a fantabulous film. a quiet at times beautiful romantic story about two souls in a state of reassessment. bill murray is so damn brilliant as he plays this over-the-hump dishevelled actor in japan shooting a whiskey commercial. scarlett johansson is a perfect counterpoise to him ans she plays a girl-of-access just beginning her life, and trying to find out what it is she'll do with it. aside from the humanistic asspects of desire and lonliness, tokyo is a perfect setting in playing a subtle third character. it is both loud and sparkly at the same time alienating and brash.

i am not too good at reviews as i am out of practice and what not, but believe this:

lost in translation is damn good.

i think that's it for today.
