i watched this film yesterday and i have mixed feelings on it. i loved scarlett's performance and relate to her character a lot, while i didn't like bill murray's as much. but i love how beautifully japan was captured, as well as the character charlotte's isolation/melancholy. i think it perfectly captures what it feels like to move to a new place or be in a new environment that you're unfamiliar with. the soundtrack was also really good.

currently my favourite movie of all time. bill murray & scarlett johansson in tokyo😍
i love how it edges uu — its a slow burn rom-com that doesn’t give you what you want.

I’m at a place in life rn where I’m spending a great deal of time in new places working on projects with people I don’t know all too well. And even when I’m in my home city this is the case, where if I’m not traveling, people not from here are traveling to meet me.
Ive been saying recently that I feel like a traveler, like I have no rigid routine (which I always wanted) but that comes with an aimless feeling like you’re just floating about.
I just got back from a work trip and came straight home to a long meeting for more work, and I’m now sitting in my office watching Lost in Translation.
It’s such a pertinent film when it comes to that feeling of aimlessness and floating about, where even though you have a reason to be somewhere, doing a certain thing, you still feel like you don’t know exactly what is going on around and within you. And with my goings about theres often incredible women whom I meet and connect with only to hardly or never see them again (as is the case in the movie)
the film is comforting to say the least. Theres something to appreciate about that feeling and seeing it so clearly depicted on screen. it’s not happy, but not entirely sad. Just a good reminder to enjoy that transient sensation, because it doesn’t last forever.
I’m Rambling. But it’s a gorgeous, timeless film and I’m just floating rn

One of the top three films of the last decade. One of my favorite movies of all time. All of the films I rewatch over and over have a cool, blue tone vibe. Languorous - like taking the time to remember the thing that has been lost in slow detail. Lost in Translation, Porco Rosso, Inherent Vice, CMBYN. An Asian film made in Italy. Vibes immaculate.
The most blissful cut of the last decade is Armie Hammer turning at the sudden sound of a train whistle and then cutting to the train station.

last week i bought a costco chocolate cake because i felt like it, and it was so good and it brought me so much joy. sometimes one needs to eat cake for breakfast. and that’s okay.

i know this isn’t a new concept but i went to the movies on my own for the first time today (i saw “civil war”) and i genuinely enjoyed it :D you get to take your time getting ready and when to show up at the theater and you can get your own popcorn… a very fun movie experience (especially if the theater is mostly empty :D)

i've been going on walks recently instead of going to the gym (i keep getting sick after going to the gym for some reason..) but i find it so peaceful, especially now that it's warmer and the flowers are blooming outside :D
