Hi there! As you can see by my username, my name is Emma. I am midway to my mid-thirties and work as a travel agent in Southern California. While I am passionate about film as a whole, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation has been my very favorite for several years. I rented it on DVD many years ago with a vague idea that it took place in Japan, and that would relieve my rampant wanderlust. Little did I know ... that vague inkling would take root among the dreamy lights of Tokyo, lonely Charlotte, tired Bob, and their beautiful connection. <3 Many people I encounter offline dismiss the film as being "boring" or "weird," so there is a real comfort here among fellow fans!
Now ... My darkest secret: Of Bill Burray's Lost in Translation and Garfield, I decided to see Garfield in theaters. My former boyfriend was an animator on the film, and I watched it to support his work. For reasons still not known to me, Lost in Translation never crossed my radar during its original theatrical release!
