Lost In Translation

1)When something is translated into another language, and sometimes translated back into the original language, and because of differences of the languages some of the original meaning is lost.

2)Whenever someone re-does something in a new medium (for instance, a movie based on a book) and, due to differances between the mediums, some details and the original meaning is not present.

3)A movie that came out in 2003.

1)See larstait's post for a good example.

2)"Did you like the new Harry Potter movie?" asked Maria. "No," answered Sharon. "They couldn't include all the details that were in the book because then the movie would be too long. A lot of the characterization and subext was lost in translation."

3)I really liked Lost in Translation. And if you didn't, your opinion can't possibly be worth anything, you must be an idiot or a philistine. No, I didn't just imagine the subtext, it's there and it's very moving!

License Plate Translation

When someone spots a license plate that is either consists of a standard format or vanity plate & tries to decipher what it could translate to.

To kill time while I am driving, I like to find license plates that I can translate into acronym definition or determine what the douchebag was trying to define, I call it License Plate Translation.

I saw GOOD BFD & figured it may have meant, Good Big Fucking Dick or perhaps GOOD Bad Food Diet... although both are almost as lame.

Lost in Translation

An amazing film written and directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.

It's about two people who are visiting Japan and who feel lost in life. Their chance meeting leads to a touching and intimate friendship and the film follows their attemts to find themselves in a strangely familiar and beautiful yet alien and bewildering environment.

The film is shot beautifully and the music combines with amazing shots of Tokyo to produce an incredibly moving film.

"Magical, funny, truly soulful, classically timeless... an absolute must see" - Uncut

"Phenomenal... film of the year!" - Arena

Winner of Acadamy Award for Best Screenplay 2004, 3 Golden Globes and 3 BAFTAS
