| Lost in Translation (2003) | comment |
Lost in Translation is a 2003 film, the second to be written and directed by Sofia Coppola after The Virgin Suicides. It stars Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, with Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris in notable supporting roles.Bob Harris (Murray) is a Hollywood actor past his prime, who despite his fame and success feels existentially empty. He goes to Tokyo to play in a commercial for the Suntory whiskey brand. Plagued by insomnia, he meets Charlotte (Johansson), the young and bored college grad who has followed her oblivious fashion photographer husband (Ribisi) to Japan, where he's photographing a ditzy film starlet (Faris).With too much time on their hands and no idea what to do in Japan, Bob and Charlotte drift together and become emotionally close. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Anna Faris' portrayal of Kelly is based on director Coppola's rather dim view of actress Cameron Diaz. Charlotte's husband John is thought to be a dead ringer for Coppola's ex-husband Spike Jonze; while Coppola did admit to basing elements of John's character off of Jonze, she denied making a flat-out copy of him. Bob the movie star doing a commercial for Japanese whiskey. Guess what real-life movie star did advertisements for a Japanese beer, Kirin Lager? Harrison Ford, that's who. Murray based Bob on Charles Bronson. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: The gag about not getting the Sean Connery James Bond films. In Real Life, the popularity of the Bond films led to Connery doing a famous series of ads for Suntory. Given that Francis Ford Coppola was also part of that series of ads, this was most likely intentional. Downplayed but present. Bill Murray's character is seen playing miniature golf, but deliberately does not channel his character in Caddyshack ("Be the ball, be the ball...It's in the hole!") Murray and his brothers are all avid golfers in real life, and even host an annual charity outing. | |

Life of the Party | |

Life of the Party: Subverted. As Roger Ebert puts it in his review of the film: "Bob Harris, who could be funny, who could be the life of the party, who could do impressions in the karaoke bar and play games with the director of the TV commercial, but doesn't—because being funny is what he does for a living, and right now he is too tired and sad to do it for free." | |

| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_6a9cfb8c | comment |
Karaoke Bonding Scene: While at a Karaoke Box, Bob and Charlotte each sing songs that evoke the needs their friendship is fulfilling, in Bob's case Roxy Music's "More Than This", a song about the passing of time and the need to live in the moment to avoid wallowing in the sadness of loss, and in Charlotte's "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders, which is about a woman attempting to gain the attention of a man in whom she is interested. | |

Luxurious Liquor | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_72778cf | comment |
Luxurious Liquor: Bill Murray's character is at one point shooting a commercial for the expensive whiskey brand "Suntory" in which he has to convey the "Liquor is Luxury" trope. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand the director's instructions due to an inept interpreter so the whole shoot is a strenuous endeavor. However, the photo shoot works out much better. | |

Translation: "Yes": The commercial director gives a long, emphatic spiel, but this is translated into curt and simplistic instructions. Bob objects that the director seemed to be saying more. note Here's what the director actually said: Mr. Bob. You are sitting quietly in your study. And then there is a bottle of Suntory whisky on top of the table. You understand, right? With wholehearted feeling, slowly, look at the camera, tenderly, and as if you are meeting old friends, say the words. As if you are Bogie in Casablanca, saying, "Here's looking at you, kid,"—Suntory time! | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: What did Bob whisper in Charlotte's ear at the end: A message of hope for her future? A promise to meet again someday? A heartfelt thank-you for the short time their lives intersected? Something else entirely? Fans have used audio enhancement to get a vague idea, but it's still unclear. Ultimately it's irrelevant—Coppola wrote no dialogue for the scene and told Murray to just say anything so she could get the shot of his lips moving. When questioned on this matter in a Reddit AMA, Murray at least partially jokingly said he forgot. Also, who is the actor Bob was talking about to the waiter, the actor who has been married a couple of times and whom Bob doesn't care is gay or not? | |

Reality Has No Subtitles | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_9da6354b | comment |
Reality Has No Subtitles: As the title implies, the characters are alienated from their surroundings by not speaking the language or understanding the culture. This draws them to each other and causes them to do more self-examination than they otherwise would. | |

Homage: The opening shot is a more fanservice-y recreation of one in In the Mood for Love. The dinner scene at the Shabu-shabu restaurant is also a reference to the same movie. | |

Lost in Translation: Being the inspiration for the film's title, this shows up a lot. The most obvious example is the Translation: "Yes" scene where the commercial director gives Bob a long spiel, and the translator just tells him to look at the camera. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: The Chanteuse, who seems to be nothing more than a bit of color in the hotel bar where Bob and Charlotte often wind up drinking...until Bob has sex with her, and Charlotte finds out. This drives a wedge between them and is likely what prevents them from consummating their relationship. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Lost in Translation (2003) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Charlotte and Bob's lunch at the shabu-shabu restaurant is fraught with tension, because Charlotte has just caught Bob sleeping with someone. Because of the Unresolved Sexual Tension between the two (even though they're both married), the lunch was very awkward. The next day, as they're saying goodbye in the hotel lobby, Charlotte's in a forgiving mood. "That was the worst lunch," she says with a smile. "What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?" Bob replies. The ditzy film starlet is giving an interview and starts saying how close she feels to Japan because of Buddhism. Her reasoning is that she believes in reincarnation, and says that it represents hope and is a good thing, whereas the whole point of Buddhism is that the cycle of reincarnation is suffering and one must find a way to end it by becoming enlightened. | |
