Lost in Translation
I just watched Lost in Translation. It's a lovely little film with wonderful performances by Scarlett Johansson & Bill Murray. It further emphasizes something I've been discovering in my acting classes. So much of good acting is not in how you say the lines. Bill Murray says so much with just a gesture or a look. From a filmaking perspective, it's also beautifully shot and edited. I also like that it was made for 4 million, and has grossed 44 million. (That whole Robert Rodriquez "make movies inexpensively" ethic, though they're obviously very different types of filmakers.) I'm also inspired by the feeling I got about Tokyo. Seems like it's an amazing city. So wacky! Really makes me want to visit.
