In another thread several people criticized Lost in Translation as being overrated or sucking or whatever else. I happen to not agree with that assessment, having seen in 3 times in the theater and purchased the DVD within a week of its release. The challenge, of course, is in convincing the naysayers that it was a good film.
This thread isn't to say the film sucked or didn't suck, but to break it down to its most fundamental elements and then decide if the film worked.
The first step is to ask everyone what they think Lost in Translation was about? In as few words as possible, what's the theme? What's the message? What is the movie about? Think of it as a tagline or logline at most ... tell us what the film meant to you ... it can be as simple as a single word theme or a couple sentence logline. I just want a feel for this ... the reason why will become apparent.
