this a significant for her

you're a sad person

and you say this because...?

They only gave it to her because of her family

No, it was a brilliant screeplay and a brilliant movie

Elaine Cristina You should watch how happy he was when his own father got an Oscar back in 75

And her cousin Nicholas Cage

I saw In the Mood for Love last year and I can clearly see the influence. Both are great films and my favorites! ❤️

Chungking Express and Fallen Angels are also amazing films, and far more visually similar to Lost in Translation I think.

​@@murdockfiles9406Exactly

Happy Together too was a great film by Kar-Wai. One of my favourites.

I saw ALL Wong Kar-Wai's movies, and more than once, and I love his cinematic universe... 🤍

Totally agree

Nothing feels better than making your parents proud ❤

+Iva Gureshidze Nephew

Yeah I just realized that, lol.

Jason Schwartzmann is too

well talent doesnt go through the entire family does it (:

Sly Shooter love ur vids man, so glad uknow something about movies too!

It’s a shame that sometimes the showiest movie is the one that seems the “best directed”

She absolutely did. Also best picture.

Hell Naw! Peter Jackson deserved it and he won it for LOTR: The Return of the King. Dude had to be recognised for the greatest trilogy of movies ever made

@@abdurrehmanali7 greatest trilogy is debatable

​@@MrGenexxx nah no debate if it is a fact

she is a greatly talented film maker

TopazRocker I agree. Sofia is a genius. And the movie is stunning.

Loyalty1269 not how I would describe it but I love the movie.

Loyalty1269 where does anyone still stone people?

It's was

I second this. It's a timeless masterpiece.

11 years later I agree completely. Lost in translation just gets better.

Ashynz without a doubt, his greatest moment

+alexxxandder Hmm I don't know. I feel most of her films rely more on the actors than the script she writes or the direction she gives for the films. Lost in Translation for example had little interesting dialog, or cinematography, and relied heavily on the emotions portrayed by the actors with the limited dialog they had. I feel the nepotist attitude still holds weight.

+Jon Snew no way man, what is great in her films result directly from her direction and the melancholic tone she creates

+Jon Snew that cinematography is amazing

"Lost in Translation for example had little interesting dialog" It's a movie which is 90% just two people talking with no dramatic events and it's still a great movie, you can't do that unless the writing's exceptional no matter how good the actors are

Give me one memorable line from that film.

Also great racism in every single scene.

I'm sorry, which screenplay? Is there even a story in this movie?

@@lisabattocchio1285 I think you didn't understand the movie

@@adrienpechalrieu I watched the movie paying full attention to every detail because I love the actors and I thought a woman director like Coppola could move the audience with her own sensitivity but I was quite disappointed. In my opinion there is nothing really happening in the movie apart from the relationship between the two, that actually made me hope for something "bigger" but even the way the relationship is narrated was banal to me. It can be a movie about two people who feel lost, but if the movie can't move the audience and make them feel something than what's the point? Then of course everyone has their own opinion

Also editing, especially sound. So subtle, yet present. And I don't know, but there's also the make-up and costume design. Again, all very subtle, but still making up the feel and overall color of the " film "

Same

If they had the Razzie Redeemer award back then she woulda got that

***** No, I did. The redeemer award is handed to actors/directors who go on to do much better films. Oscar winning ones usually

***** No, I said if the Redeemer award existed. The razzies didn't have that category yet back when she won her Oscar. But if it had, she woulda gotten it. That's what I meant

***** Its all good. Just talk with them like a real person

Different field of the industry, though. She's a talented screenwriter, hence this award. For all we know she's still a bad actress.

IknowNothingAboutHockey Mine too. I can barely stand it its so beautiful.

Liking the profile pic, u obviously have taste

So true it's a masterpiece

lmfao

I almost choked on my sandwich reading this, lol

hahahahhaa

I'm starting to think they both took a hit before this. Or maybe I'm just high lol

If that's the 'most important question' you have about Susan Sarandon after seeing that, it really says something about you. That's not even in my top 30 questions.

How i can i find it?

ASENBAISEN No. Murray is better than the Oscar!

You mean over Sean Penn for Mystic River? That's kind of a bold statement

Agree to disagree.

Gladly. So I'll start by saying, Bill Murray was fantastic in Lost in Translation. His subtle melancholy set the tone for the movie, and it was brilliantly executed. I'm glad that if he were nominated for any role, its that one, and I'll say he was the runner-up that year. That being said, Sean Penn had the much more challenging role in my opinion. His complex character was forced to undergo a variety of traumatic situations, and Sean Penn conveyed this trauma with such passion, poise, and authenticity. It's honestly one of the strongest performances I've in the last 17 years. Again...my opinion

That I am. As you are to yours

No. That was Peter Jackson's year. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was one of the biggest success stories in the history of cinema

Is his cousin at the end of the day

It's his cousin, I would be shouting that.

+Lewis Cranston Films I know it's her cousin and that Nic Cage is a Coppola...I just enjoy his enthusiasm for his cousin which he does in his own Nic Cage way :D

YES ME TOO...

Same! my favorite is fight club and then lost in translation

Futuristic British Time Warping Lesbian It's too bad she peaked with Lost in Translation

beguiled is pretty good tho

Sofia did turn in a solid performance as the Rizzi infant being baptized during the bloodbath at the end of Godfather I.

ML8593wy name one other movie of hers

@Sharon Jensen I don't know if that's true because you could equally say those who can't write, act (eg Eddie Murphy, Vin Diesel, Gary Oldman, Clint Eastwood, etc). Besides, there are plenty of great writers who can act like Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Jon Favreau, Ben Stiller, etc

Very true. She's on a history-making journey either way. The Cannes win made her only the 2nd woman ever (and the first American woman) to win Directing at Cannes. Prior to that, she became the first American Woman to win the Golden Lion (for SOMEWHERE). For this particular film (LOST IN TRANSLATION), she became the first American woman to be nominated for Directing, and earning a unique place in Oscar history thanks to this win: part of the only parent-child pair to win this category (Francis Ford Coppola won 5 Oscars, including Original Screenplay for PATTON); part of a couple to both win this category (she was married to Spike Jonze, Original Screenplay winner for HER); and (as mentioned by the announcer) part of a 3-generation winning family.

Same

She was up against Lord of the Rings the Return of the King

Had that been the case…it would have been criminal…Peter Jackson and LOTR: The Return of the King had no match that year

This screenplay was a banal, brainless, racist mess.

Hasn't done anything good since this film.

Guess she was the one hit wonder.

But, he is her cousin, they belong to the same generation. Hence, two generations.

@@debanjali What? Francis won his first oscar back in the 70s, then his father Carmine Coppola won an oscar for the music in one of the Godfathers if I recall correct. So Nic/Sofia would the third generation in that case

@@firstnamelastname364 yeah but imo nicholas' wasn't 3rd generation because his father never won one

This screenplay was a banal, brainless, racist mess.
