@@alechall7082 they did Her in part 2 already tho

@@bichiAllen i hadn't finished the video when i typed that. Also, Bladerunner 2049 would be a better choice than the original now that i think about it

I wouldn´t call it "emotional affair", both were just really good friends, that happned to be married. And yeah, this is a masterpiece.

Under Bridge it was an emotional affair😐

Gary 65 usually it is way more intimate. you’re sharing details of your significant others

If you think about, Bob and Charlotte did share a bed. Funnily, Lost in Translation shows Bob and Charlotte's bed scene where they just talk to each other. Yet they skip the scene where Bob slept with the bar singer. Kinds telling which one is more intimate

Absolutely. In the end, it’s the emotional space we’re trying to fill...even with sex.

Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze were married too

@Miko xmas you mean bromance

shes very good or method at portraying females that jump head first into doomed relationships.

after leaving tokyo, scarlette johansons character was in an accident that left her brain dead and in a coma. her photographer husband had made some contacts and was offered an experimental treatment for her. they would hook her up to a supercomputer to download her her personality and being into an ai program. thats a few years before her. took that long to work the bugs out. one of the people she was cheating on joaquin with was bill murray's character from lost in translation.

@@jebes909090 epic. just that little short was better than half or more of the garbage thats being released in theaters now a days... waiting for the next chapter in which lost in translation, Her and Lucy or Ghost in the shell somehow have continuity with each other.

I agree, I commented something similar

This hit home way too hard.

Yeah, but it sucks.

glad to see this comment cuz I never thought of Lost in Translation as a romance the film made that so clear, too

Yes...

Seriously, it's just incredible

Totally. Both are tied as my favorite romance movies, though I suppose I would give it to LiT if I had to decide.

both have scarlet johansen in it too

Pull out king nice name

Same cinematographer shot both movies too. Lance acord

i disagree... Your truth changes depending on perspective; meaning that what the other person thinks as valuble and true is different to yours. You are not just losing some meaning on the language barrier but also on the actual meaning of the words and actions themselves, for you value different things as an individual compared to others. That is why people with the same interest and hobbies often times become more intimate. Sadly due to the level of difference in their commitment to their values and worldview it could potentially cause them to fall apart. Or optimistically grow closer to each other.

*under conditions of absolute honesty, real deep intimacy can be built

Yes. Only with strangers can we truly be ourselves. For they are still listening to _not telling you_ who you are...

God damn if this doesn't resonate...

being understood is something that only happens in fleeting moments - watched this movie tens of times, and as someone quite connected to the concept of being understood, I never thought of it from that pow, I will be spending more time on the idea. Such a movie this is, it is so rich that there is always something new to grasp or seize, every single time. One special piece of art.

This, this right here.

so deep bro

I am sorry for you, it must hurt

@@gogaschnitzel3222 it does. It hurts by hell. But one of the thing Ive learn is that humans are extremely resilient. Even though it hurts, I'll making through it.

I didn't do anything to anyone there...... Not a single thing they somehow hurt me

@@rhausagi You'll make it through. Good luck with everything. Someday you'll find a happy ending.

It's such a weird feeling to pinpoint.. I have a friend who has never really been "just a friend" to me. We have always understood each other on a very intimate level, and I have never experienced it with anyone else. I can't determine if it's a romance or something different; It keeps me up at night more than I'd like to admit...

swantonist I agree! I never saw it as romantic either, but more just RAW human connection.

swantonist I’ve shared this with someone once... I wish it wasn’t a far off distant memory now, one that comes back to me all too often, paining me, the pings of what I should have tried harder to keep, what I should have tried to evolve, what I failed to say out loud... the painful reminder of the brevity of things in life, the short term we share connections... my ultimate failure to seize something - something wholly unique and something I will never get another chance to... or maybe something that still will occur, it’s been a while since I last talked to them though, and it doesn’t seem like they are willing to anymore. In the end though, what I really truly learned from this experience is that: it doesn’t matter, it’s not the end of the world, and it’s not important what’s going to happen, only that it did. There are plenty more beautiful wonderful things and people to experience, and they will come along in time, I have no doubt, so for now I must enjoy this time in my life, this time where I feel desolate and alone, because I also feel free and Unbinded to anyone or anything, I belong solely to myself... and that is a thing which is just as fleeting and valuable.

yes.

@The Elder just rewatched this part for you and I don't really see it. that wince is ... something, but is it regret that this might be the last time he sees her? She doesn't really seem to "decline" they're both just standing and looking at each other and around the evelator to me

uneedtherapy42 I cry at the end when they hug every single time 😭

@@pimmiemarayat5428 When he whispers, I honestly just can't hold it in anymore :(

This was a really good write-up. Totally agree. This film is incredibly underrated. It’s a masterpiece.

@@vlaxatron I learned what he said to her at the end. Spoiler Alert! "I have to go now, but I'm not leaving YOU." Source from watching a Swedish release of this movie.

I like to think he told her “When you get back to the states look me up.” @@corbysimpson9146

Yeah I would love to do that one!

Screened please please 🙏

That movie wasn't doomed romance

@@hadiputraw8083 The first two movies had a ticking clock, with them living in different countries, and the last one is a long, slow argument amount whether to stay together or break up.

I love this series. More specifically: Julie Delpy.

I'm glad you liked it 👍

I totally agree, I've watched it in awe...

Its been deciphered and Bill Murray basically told her at then end to be who she is and she'll be ok.

@@Aaron607 That's actually kinda wild I never thought about it that way lol

Just gave me a whole new

damn straight

mono no aware

not sexual at all? they kiss?

He would have slept with her in a heartbeat lol

@@xGaLoSx No it’s hinted many times that this could’ve taken place if either one had made a move, think the lying in bed turning close to each other scene. but there is restraint, there is carefulness, there is mutual respect, not pure physical attraction.

@@VanoArts There are many ways to interpret more than sexually. The kiss felt more like an exchange of raw human connection. Like a mutual stamp of how impactful their time together has been on one another. Their bond exists beyond either just a romantic or sexual fling.

BINGO! Not a romance.

Aye aye Captain. Same here.

true!

Yes. Exactly this. I had this situation with a much younger girl (I live in Tokyo). It was doomed from the start and it hurt quite a bit when it ended but life goes and we can reflect back on these things in a positive manner.

Hugs

Ich bin traurig nicht wutend

Traurig ueber es ist egal was man macht auch nett gemeint man wurde abgesxhlachtet

It was a fantastic movie.

Same here man. And I'm always going to be a little bit in love with Charlotte I guess.

It's definitely my favourite movie of all time. I went to Japan (and specifically Tokyo) with my first ever girlfriend on our first ever trip overseas together and we had our fair share of issues during it, but when the times were good they were magical. This movie always reaches straight into my soul and pulls out that exact string of nostalgia that hits the deepest. Strangely it doesn't make me feel sad or happy, just that heavy contemplative middle ground of bittersweet. Oh and that soundtrack turned me into a total shoegaze fan. Can't get enough noisy guitars!!

Watch the rest of the series...the video essay on 500 days of summer really tripped me up.

Head up king, your crown is falling.

Been through this. Twice in fact. Both times it hurt like hell but I'm still here. Doing well. You'll be doing well too. Give it time...

Does she miss you?

@nabokov orbust you need to find happiness alone. then you'll have the ability to share that with someone who understands.

@nabokov orbust i can't relate to people like you at all Lol what I will say is you won't get anything you're looking for in someone else.

Like the friends that keep you on the phone for hours with their problems but then have no time to hear about yours. I could relate to that scene.

Great insight!

I have watched this movie half a dozen times and never caught that. Brilliant catch!

great insight!

Man... didn't exchange numbers, email, or something????

It was about the little bit of freedom and innocent fun they both needed in their lives.

They are not soulmates. They are situation mates.

@@carlahaiduk1878 the situation matters indeed but not everyone will find connection within the same situation

Thanks 👍

And it’s interesting that Scojo is also in the movie Her

Cause she was born a dude

Because she portrays the girl next door who understands you, while also being the most physically desirable woman in the world. The Marilyn Monroe template of beauty works in nearly all cultures.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbp6aqSrp6-un30.html

Happened to me a few years ago, still miss the girl deeply. we met in college, i never felt such a deep, visceral, primal connection with someone, it really felt like we knew each other for a long time and I've never felt that comfortable around someone ( at least it felt like that to me, truth is i will never know her side of the story). She had a boyfriend so by respect i never tried anything while ignoring sign of possible flirtation on her side. And she did seem happy with him. For reasons i will always regret not telling her.

Glad you liked it 👍

That is an interesting bit of information 👍

I understand the meaning of both versions as exactly the same message. Bob has no way of contacting her once they say goodbye, so to me, saying "I will never forget you" and "I won't let that come between us", mean the same thing, ie, she's always going to be in his heart, no matter what, and nothing, nobody, and no physical distance can take that away from them.

Don't deconstruct this moment, don't probe, don't explore... just savor the mystery and relish how exquisitely transcendent this moment is. It is one of the greatest emotional climaxes in cinema history. Out of an astonishing depth of respect & compassion for the characters and their sad, rich relationship, Sofia actually gives them their PRIVACY for these their final words together. When I first saw this I was astonished, literally speechless, not only at the level of respect & compassion (for FICTIONAL characters!) but also how Sofia understands that NOT knowing what Bob whispered makes the film a hundred times richer than dialogue could convey, for - as Einstein said - "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious". Brilliantly prepped, and brilliantly conveyed, a transcendence like this is rarely achieved in ANY medium... and thus is truly Art.

So true. Great observation.

Why do you say they. You can find love

Glad you liked it 👍

Sure will!

such a lovely real-life story ❤ This is probably my no 1 movie ever, too, who am I kidding, there is no probably there! I watch it between 10 to 20 times a year 😬 I think, from now on, I will be remembering your story whenever I watch it =)

@@balahatun haha yeah I watch it about the same amount every year; literally can't get enough and I notice and realise new, little details every time. I'm also now completely obsessed with Tokyo and if I ever go will HAVE TO stay at the Park Hyatt hotel lol. Aww that's lovely and I appreciate you saying that 😊 I just hope my story doesn't distract you too much during the movie 😂

Glad you liked it 👍

i was supposed to say that haha!

I first saw 5 centimeters per second 10 years ago and till this day it still haunts me. So underrated.

I have to say, though, that while i liked the anime, the manga to 5 Centimeters per Second is much better; it extends the world in a way that makes the ending more satisfying.

Yes, In the mood for love !

@@residentartist I found the manga a little too simulative of the movie though. Every frame drawn was the same. I recommend reading the novel "One more side", it offers the perspective of the other characters and expands very neatly on the narrative of the movie.

Why can't you see him. Is it a temporary absence, will he come back to you?
