Only a bunch of people understand the meaning of this great film. We meet special people in strange environment. Spend a great time together. Find out the meaning of life. Share our hearts and thoughts. We go in different directions. But we never forget this time. Memories never dies. They stand forever.

I remember being 13 when I saw this in theaters and thinking it was bad because 'nothing happens', and now I'm 31 and it breaks my heart and is one of my favorite films ever. Strange how time changes things.

I met a girl in japan and it was just like this. We spent a few glorious days together and then she flew to australia. She was a stewardess. I never saw her again. I used to be sad about it, but now I see it differently. We got to fall in love with each other and STAY in love. I got to experience the best of her and she got to experience the best of me. We parted ways while we were still young, beautiful, in love, and immortal. Filled with the dream of youth. And that is how I will always remember her. It is a gift.

No sex, fights, or any horrific scenes, but this movie with this ending is still in my chest for years, and maybe forever. Other blockbusters didn't give me this kind of burden :)

I have just finished watching this film and loved and cried at it. But am I the only one who viewed their relationship as a friendship rather than a romance - but a connection probably far deeper and important than any romance?

So many moments in life where you say a temporary goodbye. Then fall into that sadness and depression of being without that person. You always question how you said your goodbye, I wish something like this could happen every time.

I love the way Bob walks backwards, turns and doesn't look back.

Honestly, I've met so many people backpacking the world where I have formed connections and somewhat fallen in love - but due to our different lives have to "come back to reality." It hurts a lot, but I always feel I'll meet them again. Hopefully. This movie inspired me to travel, never knew how much it would hurt though, lol.

I love how he kisses her a second time under the eye. This is definitely a happy ending for me. Whatever he said to her, she looked relieved and happy after it.

Three movies that made me emotional Lost in Translation Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Her

Scarlett in Lost in translation is the most beautiful woman ive ever seen in my entire fucking life

Can’t believe Scarlett wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. This is her best performance yet.

I was 17 somewhere in the south of france picking fruit and trying to learn some french. I met this girl also 17 and we got close over the 4 weeks but I was too damn shy and never made a move. I'll always remember saying goodbye and watching as she slowly walked away knowing I would never see her again. I'll always regret never running after her...

I've seen this movie 100s of times and it always feels like coming home

He probably whispered "Meet me in Montauk"

Lost In Translation and Groundhog Day are films you can watch over and over and there is more you learn at every viewing. Both timeless modern classics

One of my favorite scenes in cinema history.

Probably one of the most beautiful endings a movie could have. So powerful and touching.

Lost in Translation is a perfect movie. There are a few and this isn’t my favorite among them but this is a perfect movie.

“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find-- is they are not always with whom we spend our lives” ― Beau Taplin, Hunting Season

This ending is like waking up from the most delicious nap

Such a great depiction of love that transcends the physical... this is something very few people understand or attain. Used properly, in spite of its fleeting nature, a relationship like this can sustain you and give you hope and faith when you really need it.

This ending gives me so much hope. Just the faint glimmer of hope that they will see each other again is enough to make this one of the most transcendent endings to a movie ever.

I believe that friendships and romances are distinct but similar in important ways. A kiss can have many meanings, and this one is platonic. People are people.

0:37-1:11 that is some of the best acting I've ever seen from Bill Murray. The performance is so real that I wonder whether he was just being himself in this movie.

The randomness of how love can happen between people. What a wonderful movie.

The song fits so well in this scene

One of the best endings in movie history, imo. Not the grandest, not the fanciest... the photography is gorgeous, and the acting is perfect, but still, it's kinda low-key. And yet so fucking powerful. What adds to my everlasting appreciation is that I watched LiT two days before I went to Japan for a year, fifteen years ago, to experience in that country more emotions, stronger and unexpected emotions, that I would in mine afterwards. With Japanese people, but also with gaijin, foreigners. LiT is one of the most authentic depiction of Tokyo. It's not a documentary, in any way, but the atmosphere ? Jesus. Especially in that scene. Oh, and 3:28 : still one of my favorite match cuts ever. So fluid and elegant. Scarlett was gonna spend the next ten years being one of the most gorgeous actress in Hollywood. That's a lot of "one of the", I know.

This is one of the first movies that I legitimately cried while watching. It was a very strange sensation. I was about 11 years old barely becoming aware of the world around me and not really “getting” movies and plot points thoroughly until then. But then I watched this movie and this ending absolutely destroyed me. I understood what love was and that life isn’t always prefect. And this all just sort of hit me all at once and I bawled. I’ll never forget that moment.

What a classy ,classic scene. Sometimes for what ever reason we just connect with people at the strangest of times . When you walk away you always ask did I do the right thing ?

that quiver in her voice when she says "bye"

The choice of music and cinematography in this movie is so beautiful. Each scene could be a wallpaper lol. Absolutely love the aesthetic they've captured

If any foreigner(westerner) has lived or visited Japan, this is ultimately the film that will resonate with you. Sophia captured the true essence of a Westerner's experience in Japan on a very deep level

This is the most beautiful ending I’ve seen in my life... I ended with tears and a smile in my face

I love how this movie is all about the feel - I'm not american, I've never been to Japan, yet i connect deeply with what these characters are feeling - the sense of not wanting to leave a moment you know can't last, the feeling of not being able to describe or discuss a emotional connection but both still feeling it there, roaming in the air... What a amazing movie

Saying goodbye to someone whom you may or may not see in future after spending emotional time is sweet and bitter. I have been thru this journey. It hurts with a scar of good feeling that we both were connected at that level which can't be described. I am an American and she is an Ukrainian and we met in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

This and Her made me feel the same way at the end. Must be Scarlette Johanson.

Such a great scene and so powerful. I would love to know what he said to her. Whilst backpacking in the states I met a girl on a Greyhound bus many years ago. We instantly hit it off and chatted day and night. Turns out she was backpacking to the same locations as me so we travelled together for 3 weeks. Purely friends, no more. We both guessed, without saying that we would never meet again as we came from different countries. I shall never forget the last morning standing in the sun outside the hostel on Sunset Boulevard in LA. Her taxi came, we hugged said goodbye and she walked towards the taxi. She opened the door, placed her rucksack on the backseat and walked back towards me. She leaned up and kissed me on the lips and said 'Goodbye'. I will always remember her looking out from the back window of the taxi as it drove off. Reminds me so much of this wonderful scene in the film :-)

the most beautiful ending!

This is just so beautiful... so romantic... lovely natural chemistry between the actors.

this god damn movie. makes me cry every time.

You have to leave and you do not want to and do not know what to say and what to do... You know you will regret that you did not do anything... And then... You have suddenly the opportunity to do something and you hold your chance and do exactly what you should do... Your heart is broken, but you are happy that you did not waste your time... That's my feelings when I see this... And it is absolutely beautiful, lovely, so emotional...

fyi: the kiss wasn't planned. bill did that spontaneously.

Sometimes it feels so good to hug someone like that. You feel like your able to let all your stress and anxieties out. I cant really describe it.

Such an amazing film. It's a crime that Murray didn't win best actor for it.

Totally captured Tokyo, the hotel scene, and what happens when you're not happy in your relationship.... and you come across another soul in the same place as you.

Its wonderful that the most memorable scenes in the movie are the ones that doesn't have any dialogue. This & that moment outside the kareoke bar...

I’ve watched thousands of movies. Many favorites. But THIS movie right here will always be my number one pick for reasons I probably can’t unravel fully.... it connects on a whole different level ❤️

There are numerous theories about Bob's last words to Charlotte, but my personal favourite goes like this: "Don't part angry, I'm grateful we met. Talk to him (husband) Okay?." This farewell not only acknowledges the imminent separation but also offers closure to both parties, evoking relief and a parting smile from Charlotte. Bob is not selfish enough to ruin 2 marriages. He simply acknowledged they shared something special as 2 lonely souls who needed to get back to reality.

When I watched this movie for the first time back in 2003, my heart was broken in a thousand pieces. I was 21 and had my first bad love experience… watching this movie put my heart back together again….

This ending hit so hard, I feel like it’s the passing of time as we meet ppl and left with brief moments we thought would never end, until they do.

This scene is the very definition of bittersweet. This is like "Moments, even eternal moments like this one, always end. And people, even special people like they were to each other, always go."

After watching this scene, I always listened to Just Like Honey before going to sleep.

I want this type of friendship in my life

Proper way to say goodbye to a girl!

I finally got to watch this movie late last night. This scene was so emotional that I can not come up with any words for it. All I can say, I loved it and cried a little bit. For some reason, this scene was so satisfying as they say their final Good Bye and shared a romantic kiss. To me, it was a deeper friendship and never a sexual relationship. This movie became one of my top favorite movies of all time.

I'm not crying, you are. Shut up.

Sofia Coppola captured the urban lifestyle of modern Japanese culture and it’s subtle nuances in this beautiful film. I was stationed in Japan when this released and watched it in the theater in Chicago while in training there for 3 months before returning to Japan for another 4 years. If you’ve ever been to Japan and experienced the culture, you could listen to this whole movie with your eyes closed and just feel as if you were still there. I have to watch this movie once a year to get my memories of one of the greatest tours I’ve ever been on. A complete masterpiece and this ending along with Charlottes tranquil window scene are by far the best captures of emotion you could embrace and appreciate. “Just like honey”

The kiss and the smile, not sure how it was acted but it’s the purest love scene I’ve ever scene. Maybe Scarlett was in the moment there. Whatever it was, it was genuine and beautiful.

I experiencied this situation too, and its really heartbreaking with a kind of happy end! After joy, and kind of platonic love, suddenly because of a silly situation it becomes cold, very cold, its kind of awaking from a dream, but suddenly an oportunity helped us, to come closer in the end! Very beautiful!

Quite possibly my favorite ending to any movie ever. Thanks for sharing in 4k

Why am I crying so damn loud

One of the best movies ever... I even love better when they play "More than this You know there's nothing..." It just reminds me of my youth and how you feel connection with someone, but nothing happens at that time...

That first riff makes my heart ache. One of the great endings to a film.

Finally watched this movie. I kept on thinking about the opportunities we have to connect with people, and how many of those opportunities we let just go by for whatever reason.

Currently living through this. Exchange student in a foreign country, met a wonderful girl who has a boyfriend. From the first time we met, there were sparks, we spent so much time together. Basically went on dates on multiple occasions, one on one. Hung out at my room watching the view of the city. Joking together, hugging, talking about literally everything. Have shared our deepest secrets and fears, our life journey bringing us to where we currently are. The dynamic between us was never explicitly romantic, but you just feel romance is lying under the surface. She leaves in a few days, we will probably see each other again, but still it hurts. We both told each other we were easily the best person we met during our exchange semester. Told me I'm the most confident person she's ever met. Such a shame that this was not meant to be. I'm not sure if I want a kiss to happen, as it probably be just relief more than anything else, but if this scene happens to me, it will be one hell of a memory to cherish forever. Beautiful film and scene.

This was such a sad ending. Lost in Translation was about loneliness and friendship. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson both gave two of the best performances of their acting careers.

I remember that the first time watching this ending I was left with a horrible sense of emptyness, I felt my heart had became something small and wrinkled like a raising. Seeing them say goodbye was something painful but beautiful at the same time. What a great movie. Still one of my favorites.

After coming back from Japan i watched this movie every day for a month. It only gets more relatable as you get older.

What a beautiful time capsule that captures a time before filters, social media, and sliding into DM's dismantled the human experience 😢

I always felt like the two of them had a special connection that was just beyond love, like even in some moments during the film you can see it when they wouldn't be speaking at all, and it was just total silence, yet it would still feel like the two of them were still talking and understanding each and every thought of each others. I don't even know how to describe it honestly... but it just feels like a thing that really exists...some sort of unspoken language for those of us who can't really speak our minds well. but yeah... Idk If I can really bring myself to watch this film anymore, not after having already met my soulmate, and eerily enough, the ending to our little relationship was in the same sadness and felt just as unfair as this movie's end. such a beautiful movie that I don't think I can ever watch again. ugh... Anyways to anyone who's still reading this, I love you, your probably a really great person, and I thank you for reading this far, even though you didn't have to... but remember we're all here for a short time, and to live your life as much as you can, try your best to get thru these moments where you don't feel so alive, because well... we won't always be alive forever... so take it from a dumb kid who had their soulmate kill herself, a soulmate I didn't choose to have or even confess to. But please take care and please keep living whoever you. There's always gonna be a sadness that won't go away and please remember your not alone, remember that there's someone else in this world who's probably feeling as sad as you are. You'll never be alone. Please remember you matter and Ilysm, keep living please even if its just for a complete stranger like me. take care.

My heart just falls out at this...every time...

Soul mates. She looks quite a bit like my first wife, whom i still love, 21 years after our divorce. Spectacular writing, acting and Tokyo is the perfect venue. A masterpiece.

My favorite ‘mystery’ ending of all time. I cry every time but never quite why😇

Bill Muray is so cool walking backwards and Scarlet is so cute 😁

God I felt that hug ♥️

Years after watching this movie, the ending still hurts even though I know the short ice they spent together was magical and life changing. It's the idea of going back to reality and never seeing each other again that makes my eyes produce waterfalls. LOST IN TRANSLATION WEEKEND BEFORE SUNRISE are thee best movies I've ever watched.😢

Tokyo = such wonderful isolation

I love The Jesus and Mary chain !

The best ending to one of the greatest movies ever made.

0:47 one of my favorite scenes. Not a word needed to be spoken to know exactly how he feels.

Just rewatched this on Netflix. So many things we can relate to. Despite all the freedoms we have in West we are never truely find meaning or satisfaction.

I really love this movie, i like to watch this when my soul is empty...

Love Bill’s smile. Everything’s just clicked.

one of my favorite films of all tine saw this like 15 yrs ago, now i live in japan for 5 yrs, leaving in a few months and literally going through this. We meet people that we wish can be part of our lives, we wish we met earlier in our lives. But what makes the moment so special is knowing that it wont last forever. i am grateful that the moment happened, and sad that it is about to end.

I turn 53 in 3 weeks and after finally saying to myself…”I’m going to watch this movie and pay attention to it”… …I have been watching it for 5 days in a row now!!! Murray is fantastic! Scarlett is mesmerizing! Soundtrack is on point! Cinematography is beautiful and dreamy! My wife’s go to romantic film is “Notting Hill”…this…”Lost In Translation” is MY “Notting Hill”. I want an ending such as this. Indescribable is all I can say about how the film made me feel, how the characters had me hypnotized, & how I don’t want to know what Bob said to Charlotte at the end…❤️

such a great film - i never get tired of it - killer soundtrack

One of the most beautiful movies and love stories ❤️I have ever seen

Still my all time favorite movie. Small yet epic, funny yet melancholy, and a bit tragic but also hopeful. Great film!

He should have won the Oscar.

The soundtrack brings back so many memories.

The best ending of a great movie.

I forgot one I watch a baseball game in 1995 with my grand dad his team lost (Atlanta Braves) I got and went to bed and said I'll see in the morning he said ok. He got up before the next morning and cooked some breakfast sat down ate then passed away it always felt like a movie or a dream and still does.

Bill and Scarlett could have both retired after making this fantastic movie

When they show her eyes while he’s holding her, the tears and pain in them…argh kills my every time

It's not the best, but it's my favorite final scene in a movie. I've watched it in my teen years and it was a movie that bored me. A few years later I watched it a night that I couldn't sleep. That whisper that we never found what it was said and the big smile that Bob gives as he walks away brings always tears in my eyes. It is a film about longing, that our protagonists never actually achieve. But they have a deep connection greater than friendship or romance. They managed to grow as people just by knowing each other in a few days, in a wold full of strangers

I loved this movie. Scarlett was only 17 years old and Bill was of course way older but it worked, it worked really well! 💜💜💜

I am not crying. It's not what you think....

She's so gorgeous.

It's incredible how a few shots of Tokyo by dusk can express with the right song Such a bittersweet, melancholic feeling
