    When Lucky (Harry Dean Stanton) started singing during the fiesta my eyes began to well up. I went into this film not knowing what to expect. I didn’t even know about it until I came across it on HBO, and what a treat it was. Love it when that happens!

    “If you assume that there is no hope, then you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.” -Happy Noam Chomsky Day 😉

    I never realized how beautiful Richard Hell really was untill I saw this this film. French actress Carole Bouquet also, gorgeous. There was a surprising cameo by Andy Warhol that was pretty funny. I loved seeing the mid-late NYC cityscape backdrop, and the CBGB’s footage was fascinating too. I wonder if Billy (Richard Hell) would go on to finished a gig?....Hehe.  Enjoyed the film.

    ★★★★

    Lost In Translation is film where the setting and cinematography lends itself to the story telling just as much as the characters do themselves. And that’s saying a lot with the role of Bob Harris, a burnout, middle age movie star, being played by Bill Murray. Director, Sofia Coppola wrote that part exclusively for Bill Murray, spending many months seeking him out and convincing him to take this role. She says she would not have made the film without Bill…
