Lost in translation feel.


The feel style of the film is a copy of " lost in translation ". It seems like more and more film directors are using that style now a days, especially when Bill Murray is in that picture.

Jim Jarmusch started making movies 20 years before LOST IN TRANSLATION was made. Actually, he started 20 years before SofĂ­a Coppola started.

True, but that has nothing to do with my comment.

How can Jim copy a style from a movie that was made 20 years after his career started?

reply

It's not about when Jim"s career started, it's about when Jim made Broken Flowers. He made that film in 2005. Lost in Translation was made in 2003. That's how. Film Directors are humans too and sometimes they get inspired by other film directors, and there is nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, it's part of film making. Are we in sync now ? Try to learn, not argue.

I haven't seen all of his movies, but the ones I've seen have this same style. That includes the ones made before LOST IN TRANSLATION.
