Has Anyone Seen The Film Lost In Translation?

[faith]

Dear Actualized.org Community,

The movie "Lost In Translation" is with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. I won't ruin it for people who haven't seen it, but it's such a great film. I've seen it many times, and it always leaves me with mixed feelings. 

I hate the end, so I purposefully stop watching it 10 minutes before the end. I hate how painfully it screams "Real Life" in your face. I want that happy ending, so I've convinced myself that if I don't watch the end, that means it ends on a happy note.

i have only now finally realized what the movie is about. It's about moments. It's about savouring the moment you have because that's all you really have. Nothing is written in stone. Nothing is forever. Still, My heart wants to see the good ending, the one that's in my head.

There is a great scene where the two main characters are just sitting in the hotel's restaurant, their faces are close, and are looking at each other, and appreciating the moment as it is. It's a beautiful scene, and for me the movie ends there. 

It's amazing film that I love to love and love to hate. I understand everyone has different movie tastes, but if you're doing spiritual work, you can sense what the movie's message is.

I hope you will watch it!

I've seen it, and yeah I remember it as a very beautiful film with a strong emotional ending, that makes you sad but leaves you in awe at the same time, because the film touches you so much. The actors, Scarlett and Murray are amazing. The photography is amazing. The story is amazing. And the film makes you think about what a happy life is, I mean look at Murray in the film, he has it all: sucessfull career, loads of money, kids, wife, but he doesn't seem to be really happy. But magic happens when he meets Scarlett.

I think you're right that the film has a spiritual undertone to it; don't regret anything, live in the moment, enjoy the ride, nothing will ever last. etc:>

Gonna re-watch it soon.

@crazycrazycrazy I like it so much, that when I got to Tokyo, the first thing I did was go to the Park-Hyatt, and sat in that bar!
