Lost in Translation

what's that opening shot about?

i have this marked as last watched in 2010 and yeah it's kind of hard to say things about it. i recall when i first watched it, it left me a little confused (still liked it) and i think a part of me put off rewatching this for a while because i was hoping for this grand revelation the next time i did. well that didn't really happen but there's kind of a personal shame the film evokes in me hence the difficulty.

But the city still comes out looking amazing, it still has one of my favorite usages of music with My Bloody Valentine, and that initial commercial filming scene with the interpreter is great. as someone whose first exposure to Bill Murray was OSMOSIS JONES i can see the subtle aspects of his performance this time around and it's great. Scarlett Johansson is good too. kind of mindblowing she was 17 when she shot this.

one "new" thing this time was honestly was how distracted i got by how much of the l/r thing kept being brought up

i had it at an 8 and that's going to stay. probably a lighter 8 though.
