I'll be honest: when I decided to buy and start this little book, I thought it was going to be a nice little something, a collection of weird and interesting words that I would have forgotten the minute after I read them but that it would have been fun to read, a pleasant and entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. Wong, Nicholas Y.B. (2009). "Loving You by Not Falling in Love: The Postmodern Representation of Love in Chunking Express and Lost in Translation". Screen Education. No.53. pp.131–137. Uprkos poteškoćama u komunikaciji, ovaj tim će postati jedna koherentna, čvrsto povezana grupa koja će složno hrliti ka svom cilju. Odnosi koji se među njima stvaraju polako se razvijaju paralelno sa samom potragom pekinškog čoveka, preklapajući se sa podjednako beznadežnim traganjem za nestalom suprugom jednog od arheologa. Autor kroz ove redove beleži neverovatnu mešavinu emocija, nade i očaja, čežnju za pripadanjem (negde, nekome) kao i ožiljke nanete sputavanjem, gotovo gušenjem (nemoguće) ljubavi. Ljubav u svim mogućim oblicima – ljudskom, seksualnom, božanskom, ljubav između nacije i njene istorije, čoveka i njegove prošlosti, oca i njegove ćerke – vodi priču do njenog završetka kojim ne možete ostati ravnodušni.

She wanted to express her gratitude to him but was lost in translation. She did not know how to say thank you in his language, and he did not understand her gestures. Lost in Translation has been broadly examined in terms of its narrative structure, with commentators noting that it contains few plot events as compared with films in the Hollywood mainstream. Narrative events are mostly focused on the development of Bob and Charlotte's relationship, [23] with few "external" obstacles that impact the central characters. [24] King notes, "More time is taken to evoke the impressions, feelings, and experiences of the central characters", [25] which represents "a shift in the hierarchical arrangement of [film elements]" that prioritizes character experiences over plot. [26] The literary critic Steve Vineberg argues that "the links of the story are indeed there, only they're not typical cause-and-effect connections. They're formed by the emotions that gather at the end of one episode and pour into the next". [27] King maintains that while the plot does progress according to a basic linear causality, [23] "If the episodic quality often seems to the fore, this is partly a matter of the pacing of individual sequences that are very often leisurely and dedicated to the establishment or development of mood and atmospherics". [25] Coppola said she wanted the story to emphasize the qualities of an intimate moment, and she did not want to impose grandiose narrative devices on the characters such as "a war keeping them apart". [28] [note 5] Coppola said of the film's opening shot, "I don't have a really good reason for it.... It's just how I wanted to start the movie. I liked having a hint of the character—a sweet, young girl waiting around in her hotel room—and then go into the story". [30] [note 6] Each one is accompanied by a brief explanation of the context in which the word is used as well as a cute colorful drawing made by the author herself, which makes everything nicer and more pleasing to the eye.

Critics widely praised Murray's performance as Bob, commending his handling of a more serious role that was combined with the comic persona for which he was already broadly known. Writing for Slate, David Edelstein argued that it was "the Bill Murray performance we've been waiting for", adding that "his two halves have never come together as they do here, in a way that connects that hilarious detachment with the deep and abiding sense of isolation that must have spawned it". [87] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly regarded Murray's performance as Oscar-worthy and lauded it as his "most vulnerable and unmannered" to date; she praised his treatment of a more delicate role as well as his improvisations in the film's comic sequences. [88] The New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell had similar praise, calling Lost in Translation "Mr. Murray's movie" and remarking that the actor "supplies the kind of performance that seems so fully realized and effortless that it can easily be mistaken for not acting at all". [89] [note 17] One of the earliest recorded uses of the idiom “lost in translation” is found in a poem by Robert Frost titled “The Death of the Hired Man,” published in 1914.
