Today I saw a movie, Lost In Translation. The story is about two Americans, Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), in Tokyo. Bob is a movie star and he came to Japan to shoot a commercial. Charlotte is young wife and she follows her husband, doing photographer. Both of them can’ t sleep in such an unaccustomed place like Tokyo. One day, Bob have a chance encounter with Charlotte and they become a very good friends.
Subsequence is secret! If you want to know, Watch it!! Anyway I think this movie is the very daily life though their encounter is not unusual thing. They just saw Japanese things, feel loneliness in other country and are frustrating not to make themselves understood in Japanese. In this movie, there is no specific story. But I think, in these days’ movie world, this kind of the story is rare while there are many highflying stories. Of course I love both type, but I think, there should be more realistic life like this movie.
In addition, I’d like to introduce about Sofia Coppola. As you know, Sofia Coppola grew up in the advantaged environment. Her father is a movie director, Francis Ford Coppola, The Godfather (1972), The Godfather 2 (1974) and he won the Academy Award, The Godfather 3 (1990). First, she was interested in photograph and studied about it (she set out ads of the “Parco”), and she became a fashion model, too! (And she made the cover of the “VOUGE”) Then she started to study about fashion and founded “MILK FED” and produced “x-girl”. Of course she became an actress, too!! When she was baby, she was in the father’s movie, The Godfather. And in The Godfather 3, She bowed as an Al Pacino’s daughter. She has much ability. I hadn’t known her well, but knowing them, now , I really respect her.

Wow, Ema! You've really been busy :) I'm sorry I haven't looked at your blog for awhile. This is one of my favorite movies, too. I think it's especially interesting for those of us who live in Japan. But I think it's probably very meaningful for anyone who's ever lived in a different culture.
