After 30 min of watching Lost In Translation, I couldn't wait for it to be over. During the film I went on Rotten Tomatoes and found that the movie had a rating of 95%, so I guess it's just me that didn't enjoy the movie which is okay. I thought the movie was absurdly slow, and felt like nothing was really happening. I didn't really care about any of the characters and what they were going through, because I feel like the movie never showed me why I should care about them in the first place. From the beginning were are tossed into Bob and Charlottes lives and although they both seem lost in life I didn't really care. I feel these types of movies just aren't for me, because I didn't like Good Will Hunting either and I feel like these movies are kind of similar in how their both trying to be super philosophical.
As for Sofia Coppola, this is the first time I've ever seen one of her movies I think. Some aspects of the film that might make her an auteur and are unique to this film were the amount of shots with characters sitting still with view of a city behind them. We saw multiple shots of New York and Tokyo which was definitely very noticeable. Something else I noticed was that some of the dialogue was sort of awkward between some characters, which I think was done purposefully.
