So i was watching Lost in Translation the other day and have one question. What does Bill Murray wispers in Scarket Johansson's ears in the last scene? I couldnt figure out the dialogue. Just curious.

Cheers,

It's just one of those ambiguous movie moments. I like that we don't know. It's about the moment and not his words.

And god bless Isaac Mizrahi for doing what the rest of us just dream of and feeling her up on the red carpet! I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing in his place. I don't think I'm her type, so copping a feel and then running for the hills might be a viable option since that is all I could get. :)

I thought it was pretty ballsy for a first time director to do something like that for a climex scene !

Talking about first time directors Sophia was also one of the producers so I guess it takes guts and lot of faith in your story idea. Enough faith for you to put in your own money !

Any idea how much it would have cost to make "LIT" ?

And MojoTracer, Well may be if you keep at it long enough you could do a movie with her and then who knows what could happen !

Cheers

The fact that she's the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola helps the boldness factor I'm sure.

But i do like this one very much. Not too crazy about her Marie Antoinette movie though. But i think that has more to do with her casting choice for the titular role.

Aw man, not her first time -- her second. She did The Virgin Suicides.

And although it wasn't an amazing movie, it probably pays the best homage to a book that I have ever seen. I Loved this movie, but probably only because I really LOVED the book.

its not even finished yet.
 
I thought LiT was a great travel video for Japan and not much else. It was boring. Sorry! After the initial set up, and the great scenes of Bill Murray shooting the commercial, it was just boring. I couldn't believe she won a screenplay Oscar when she even said in interviews much of the movie was improved.

I really liked Virgin Suicides, though flawed somewhat. She showed promise. She showed growth in LiT, but I just thought the story was very weak. At the end of the day I didn't care about the characters and just wanted the movie to end. :crybaby:

Thank the lord someone else out there does. Everytime I say this I get this look like I'm missing something when I am pretty darned sure I am not. :furious3:
That's how I feel with American Beauty.

Ok, now you are freaking me out. I didn't see AB in the theatres because I thought it looked kind of dumb. All the hoopla later, I got the "Awards Edition" DVD. I was baffled...still am. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Other than the Benning vacuum scene, I hated it. Absolutely hated it.

I read a few pre-Oscar articles where some critics looked at movies that shouldn't have won and in retrospect weren't as good as they were hyped and we were hyped to believe they were...AB was at the top of the list.
