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

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.

Ok, it’s about a Tokyo toilet cleaner. And he barely speaks. But bear with me.
It’s a film that is luminous with beauty from a director nearing the end of his life (Wim Wenders is in his eighties.) And it says so much about what is important in life, and what isn’t …
Relinquishing complication, I think, is the key. Plus the quietness of simplicity. And the ability to cleave to a simple life - if you possibly can. And having the courage to be singular; to not care what others think of you (the ultimate freedom.)
Lessons, lessons, all the life lessons. I still think about the gift of this film, months after I was immersed in it.
I left the cinema … cleansed.

It’s starting to happen all the time to the point where we can’t even avoid each other… but I’m not complaining.
Always wanted life to kind of feel like I was in a sitcom friend group
