Lost in Translation

[Pubrick]

has anyone heard that the blonde annoying American actress is suppose to be Cameron Diaz?

yeah it was mentioned in the last six pages.

[SHAFTR]

I'm not sure who I like better: Spike Jonze or Sofia Coppola...probably Jonze, atleast he wasn't in Godfather 3.

Does anybody else out there think Lost in Translation could be gearing up to be Annie Hall to The Lord of the Ring's Star Wars? Back in '78, everybody was convinced Star Wars -- the biggest film ever -- was going to sweep the Oscars...but along came a little film, a loved film about a doomed romance...and the upset was history...

[modage]

that would be interesting.  although i doubt it will happen because generally (or atleast recently) the best picture has not been one of my favorite films of the year.  also, i dont think rings has much of a chance either.

Whoa, what are YOU talking about? ROTK has its best chances out of the entire trilogy. It's undoubtably going to be one of the front-runners.

I would be elated if Lost in Translation won for Best Picture and pulls an Annie Hall. But this is not 1978 and Hollywood is not thinking like its 1978 either. It's a very refreshing thought but it's merely a pipe dream.

No, check it out: The Academy will give Peter Jackson Best Director for the trillogy -- but then give LIT Best Picture...

Mutinyco could be right. LIT just dominated the nominations for the Golden Globes, a major teller of what could happen at the Oscars.

I only just saw it, and I absolutly loved it. Avoiding this thread for as long as I did really paid off. I hadn't seen the trailer and I was unaware of any plot details. All I had heard about the film was countless coments on how amazing it is. My expectations, which were through the roof, were met on every level. Just about every second of the film delivered and I haven't been as satisfied with an ending in a long time. Not having seen Scarlett Johansson in a role before made the film all the more enjoyable. She was incredible. It was hard not to fall in love with her. Cinematography was great, music was perfect, and Murray, who I've been a long time fan of, was terrific and pulled the role off wonderfully.

The only thing I didn't really like about the film, as Shaftr mentioned, was the party sequence. Charlotte didn't seem like that kind of person and the scene seemed to steer her character's development in the wrong direction. I'm sure someone can convince me otherwise. Anyway, everything else I LOVED. Brilliant film. Easily one of the best this year. 5/5

Make sure to see Ghost World as well. She's supporting, but it's still a great film and shows her off.

Care to expound?

I know some of the bad facts about the Golden Globes, if I remember correctly, they were made for the celebration of an italian actress only. She had that big of an ego. The "foreign press" everyone talks about were just some guys in Hollywood who had no journalistic credibility or anything but just desire to be major players in Hollywood. Most of the success of the Golden Globes just rides off the fact Hollywood loves to admire and advertise itself.

looks like it really was all based on Sofia's relationship with Spike, they are getting divorced.
