mail when i got back to my apartment\u2026so i watched one of those before firing up <i>lost<\/i> to make myself feel better. the movie seemed even more relaxing this second time around, especially from the comforts of my television-flanked bed. ah\u2026muy bien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">the making-of featurette for <i>lost in translation<\/i> was pretty coo also. portions of it were actually shot by coppola\u2019s (soon-to-be) ex-husband spike jonze (he\u2019s introduced with a hand reaching around the camera in one shot)\u2026and by watching it, you see rather clearly the mirrors of charlotte and john. sophia coppola <u>is<\/u> charlotte\u2026and spike jonze the basis for john. i wonder if spike saw the obvious parallels while he was shooting the featurette. it was also coo to watch the film being shot on location around tokyo amidst the flowing crowds of people. i had momentarily forgotten just how noisy and chaotic tokyo was\u2026its easy watching the movie with its chill soundtrack. you apparently dont get your own muted soundtrack when you walk around tokyo\u2026just alot of flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
