These are strong emotional pieces I see getting plenty of praise on their own, but I appreciate them more when considering them companion pieces. They are very different stylistically, but when it comes to intention they are similar. Both are incredibly personal films so to remember that each represents a different side of the same story connects them in a uniquely powerful way. Rest in peace Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola marriage.

I’m at a place in life rn where I’m spending a great deal of time in new places working on projects with people I don’t know all too well. And even when I’m in my home city this is the case, where if I’m not traveling, people not from here are traveling to meet me.
Ive been saying recently that I feel like a traveler, like I have no rigid routine (which I always wanted) but that comes with an aimless feeling like you’re just floating about.
I just got back from a work trip and came straight home to a long meeting for more work, and I’m now sitting in my office watching Lost in Translation.
It’s such a pertinent film when it comes to that feeling of aimlessness and floating about, where even though you have a reason to be somewhere, doing a certain thing, you still feel like you don’t know exactly what is going on around and within you. And with my goings about theres often incredible women whom I meet and connect with only to hardly or never see them again (as is the case in the movie)
the film is comforting to say the least. Theres something to appreciate about that feeling and seeing it so clearly depicted on screen. it’s not happy, but not entirely sad. Just a good reminder to enjoy that transient sensation, because it doesn’t last forever.
I’m Rambling. But it’s a gorgeous, timeless film and I’m just floating rn

i watched this film yesterday and i have mixed feelings on it. i loved scarlett's performance and relate to her character a lot, while i didn't like bill murray's as much. but i love how beautifully japan was captured, as well as the character charlotte's isolation/melancholy. i think it perfectly captures what it feels like to move to a new place or be in a new environment that you're unfamiliar with. the soundtrack was also really good.

currently my favourite movie of all time. bill murray & scarlett johansson in tokyo😍
i love how it edges uu — its a slow burn rom-com that doesn’t give you what you want.

Maybe the robots will kill me first for saying this, but I hate AI. It’s a threat to creativity and our function as a species. Also, cheating isn’t cool.
