Lost in Translation (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Actor Allusion]]: The gag about not getting the Sean Connery ''Bond'' films. In [[Real Life]], the popularity of the ''Bond'' films led to Connery doing a famous series of ads for Suntory. Given that Sofia Coppola's dad [[Biting the Hand Humor|was also part of said series of ads]], this was most likely intentional.

* [[Arcade Sounds]]: Subverted; the arcade sounds in the film were not the original noises, but they're no [[Pac-Man Fever]] noises either.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Amusing scenes in which Bob and Charlotte interact with the locals are even funnier if you understand Japanese.

** Not to mention the direction given to Bob.

** Charlotte also gets in her share of barbs.

* [[Defictionalization]]: Suntory started using the [[Catch Phrase]] from the fictional Suntory ads in actual Suntory ads run in the United States (which also led Suntory to attempt an expansion of their distribution in America).

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Kelly.

** [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Anna Faris's portrayal of Kelly is based on director Coppola's rather dim view of actress Cameron Diaz.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Charlotte as seen in the very first shot of the film lying on the bed before the title of the movie fades in.

* [[Product Placement]]: "For a relaxing time, make it Suntory time."

** Someone used audio enhancement to find out what Bill Murray actually said, and posted it on [[YouTube]]. But this is a case of [[Completely Missing the Point]], as the audience wasn't supposed to know what Bob said to Charlotte, so Coppola didn't write any dialogue for that moment and instead just told Murray to ad-lib something so they could get the shot of Bob whispering to Charlotte.

** Reportedly, someone on a cruise ship asked Murray what he said. As Murray started to reply, the ship's horn happened to blow, so he immediately went with it, acting like he was revealing the secret while no one could hear him.

* [[Shrines and Temples]]: Charlotte visits a Zen temple.

* [[Talk Show]]: Bob is invited to appear on one.
