I just got this movie on bluray and apparently a lot of people here on /tv/ love this film.

What am I in for?
>>
>>70887297
A movie that turns normies into webs.
>>
>>70887320
*weebs
>>
>>70887320
Weebs actually dislike the movie, because it has romance.
>>
A good romantic/existencial movie.
Also japs.
>>
>>70887297
A 6.5/10 movie that some people think is a masterpiece for some reason.
>>
>>70887366
>existential
This. I don't get why it's not common knowledge.
Too often people brush this movie off as just a romance film when it has clearly some philosophical meaning behind it (mainly existentialism).
>>
>>70887297
I love it. I can empathise with feelings of loneliness, isolation and culture shock though.

Sofia Coppola hasn't made a film even remotely close to as good as this since. I'd honestly consider her a one hit wonder.
>>
>>70887371
>6.5/10 movie
I bet you love the avengers.

An ending which will make you want to kill yourself if you have nobody to love or love you back.

I don't understand these threads. What is it that you want to hear, exactly?
Just watch the film and you'll know what you were in for.
Christ. It's so much better to go into a film with no expectations at all than to be spoonfed opinions that alter your perception of it. Trust me.

She was motivated by her relationship with Spike Jonze ending. Once the stupid roastie had gotten the last of Spikes talent out of her system she returned to making shit films

I apologize on his behalf, Sophia. Please fuck someone talented and make a good movie again.

What did he say?
>>
>>70887297
there is a type of people who get this weird feeling of sad and happy and the same time with this to an extreme degree.

it really changes your mood if you are the right personality type for this kind of kino.

i had this for 3-4 days. only womb did a similar job but not as strong.

I hated it the first time. Now it's one of my favorites. It's not understated at all, but it also isn't very loud.

This is just a comfy ass movie.
>>
>>70887988
What if you've had your only chance to get loved and it's gone now for ever.
I tell you with that feel this movie is suicide
>>
ScarJo at her peak.
>>
>>70887399
Her debut film, The Virgin Suicides, is also quite good actually. It's not on par with this, but it's close.

If this is a 9.5/10 movie, I'd consider that a 9.


Marie Antoinette is decent. Not great, but okay.
Somewhere is self-indulgent garbage though. Haven't watched her works after that because of it.
>>
>>70888013
But that's impossible, unless you're Bill Murray's age. You're deluding yourself. If you believe you've had you're only chance, all you're doing is sabotaging your own life. Get your shit together.
>>
>>70888158
I'm the guy you were replying to and whilst I like Lost in Translation very much it's probably an 8, maybe 8.5 for me.

Virgin Suicides would be 6 at best.
>>

>>
>>70888186
T-thanks Anon.
>>
>>70888158
I recently bought Virgin Suicides because I'd wanted to see it for ages and it was $4.

It was alright at best, her first short 'Lick the Star' really shows you exactly what kind of person she is.

She's only a filmmaker because her daddy is and her only great film is Lost in Translation, purely because she actually had something to say.
>>
>>70888189
What's a ten for you?
>>
>>70888189
Fair enough. I rate higher than most people, I give a lot of stuff a 10 that I love. And some 10s are obviously better (mostly more outstanding/exceptional) than other 10s but I can't help giving them 10s, usually because I consider them to accomplish what they want to do with that movie.
>>
>>70887482
this doesn't even make sense as a reply
I'm saying that loneliness is an overrated meme of a feeling. R9K is basically the antithesis of that sentiment.

I'd say I'm a realist. Sure, it's possible a meteor will crash into your house tomorrow.
I don't want to argue words and their meanings. Let's try "extremely unlikely" instead of "impossible".
It's extremely unlikely for someone to remain alone if they're putting their best efforts into finding a partner(which includes psychologically preparing yourself for a certain way of life). It's usually one's own mindset that doesn't allow for it, instead of a set of imaginary parameters imposed on them by life, as some people tend to believe.

qt-mode Scarlett portrays a twenty-something chick, who's feeling ronery in Japan where everything sucks. Her significant other is a douchebag, which we know because he acts like a micky during the entirety of his 2 minutes of screentime.
Bill Murray's character is basically Bill Murray who's getting nagged by random Japs and his nagwife.
The two characters meet, talk, do Karaoke and everything's hunky-dory.
Then Bill fucks a club singer with a club sandwich and everything sucks.
Then the fire alert in their hotel goes off, the two meet again and say their goodbyes the next day.

Good soundtrack if you like MBV and stuff like that.
Johansson is cuddleboner-inducing and Murray does a lot of ad-murraying.

Fallen Angels is not really about loneliness. More about lifes colliding and the small thing that makes life change/worth it
The first half of 2048 is more about loneliness than Fallen Angels.
Also, Guilty of Romance and that Maniac remake with that guy from the show where he talks to his dog

Not that I know of. Maybe it's due to the fact that we accepted loneliness as part of out lives in the past 20 years.

Them wandering alone is part of their personalities, yes, but it's not a key point in the movie (well, that's arguable now)
Watch the whole trilogy of love (fallen angels, on the mood for love, 2046) for maximum effect

Looks like you need to work on your critical thinking if you fell for the 'Snyder is bad' herd-thinking.
There are tons of Snyder threads here for a reason right now, you might discard capeshit automatically, and granted, it has a bad rep but he's the exception.
