In 2003, Sofia Coppola wrote and directed (brilliantly) this comedy drama, with a very good Bill Murray and a young Scarlett Johansson.
He is a middle-aged actor in decline, forced to do TV commercials, a prisoner of his work and his marriage now devoid of stimuli: but she has a degree in philosophy, with few job prospects and has recently become the wife of a young photographer always taken by the commitments and not take up much of her. Loneliness is one of the central themes of the film, and the story of two characters from their troubled marriage in pieces, working from anxiety and the midlife crisis, you meet the bar of a hotel in Tokyo. The city is seen as totally alienated from the two main characters, who are Americans, and the hotel becomes their inner sanctum. Day after day, they find themselves in the lobby discussing their lives, and then groped handling as possible. But in the end both of us, though attracted, they must realize that their Japanese brackets will not be eternal.
Dialogues minimized, Murray cynical humor of a textbook that does more than smile, Lost in Translation is a film infused with a certain cosmic melancholy and pessimism, which simply tells one week of life without dealing with the players before and after (just look at the finale). A film that does not mandate to reflect, as we do not care to entertain, but to live in 2 hours per week of a person aged 50 and one 20 in a foreign city. Lost, in fact, in the translation.
Rating: good movie.
Start and end are two entities related to being regarded as too extreme the a straight line.
If the school starts and ends at 19 5-6 years, it is also true that with the end of the school, starting university or work. Simply the end of a thing often coincides with the beginning of another: a school-university, or the beginning of a story that ends the period of single, or the end of the time working with the onset of retirement.
there are thousands of examples, but we focus mainly on fear of the end: because the uncertain road scares us and we have gotten used to the old road now with its holes, and we know maybe dodge. None of we can focus on the concept of new beginning ... on the novelty and stimulation. The opportunities it will bring.
We are too scared to enjoy the end of the beginning.
But the opposite also happens: too scared to put an end to things, in the hope that a fresh start to solve everything.
Then you know: there are painful for some or really hiding an unknown continuation as the end of life is perhaps the most striking. The unknown and the suffering related to this end are, quite rightly, really afraid there really is not much to do.
The fact is that our fear of the end, we often preclude the thought that a start can make us open our minds, to give new emotions and stimulate maturation, a process that does not end at age 19 in an examination, but coming to the last fatal moment of our existence .... until the end, in fact. That, in my view, it hides an unknown beginning.
End and beginning are very close on a straight line: the line is not made from the beginning and end: it is long life and near each end, there is a new beginning.
