This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Lost in Translation

This is a movie review of sorts. I don't claim to me a reviewer. I'll just give my take on the movie, if I liked it, or not, and what I didn't like about it. My point of view, while not always clever or ironic is mine.

Sound good? Here goes..

There are two main characters in this movie, the city of Tokyo and the stunning cutie played by Scarlett Johansson. Those two things, plus a great choice of music, make this film worth watching. I can't say the plot did a whole lot for me. Bob (Bill Murray) and Charlotte strike up a friendship because they feel isolated from their personal lives as well as the culture around them. Together they reclaim a connection to another like-minded human being as well as take on the city and beat back some of its imposing power. Overall the plot exists to provide the filmakers an excuse film a movie that's principally about Tokyo and modern Japanese culture. And thats why I liked it.

That.. and Scarlet Johansson. The scenes of her lounging around her hotel room were worth the price of the rental.

... and that's my incredibly superficial take on Lost in Translation!
