"The Japanese are one-dimensional and dehumanised in the movie, serving as an exotic background for Bob and Charlotte's story, like dirty wallpaper in a cheap hotel." - Kidu Day

I've seen Lost in Translation a few times and love the film, but here's a different take on it which I hadn't before considered...#engl359

This is by far my favorite scene in ESotSM. It's cute and touching for Clem and Joel to wish they were friends as kids, but also just so hilarious to watch Jim Carrey pretend to be like 5 yrs old #engl359 #bestof359 https://t.co/siF53sgpK1

Don't know if this is the best moment of #engl359, but I like the vintagey feel of this old home video footage from Stories We Tell #bestof359

"The West uses this primitive view of Asia to add some level of eroticism, bewilderment or feminism to films that ultimately skew our cultural consciousness as an audience and continues to downplay the culture of the East" - Amy Cheng

Quotes from Amy Cheng's video essay on Lost in Translation found here: https://t.co/Ktyx07olbt #engl359 "Hollywood has a pattern of depicting the East in an inaccurate and flawed manner that contributes to the oriental image that Westerners of the foreign lands of the East."

my Birdman poster made in InDesign, I got it pretty close to the original! #engl359

I'm going to call this "Drunk Minds" because Mary and Stan are tipsy here and the layered effect mimics that drunk feeling of "seeing double" #engl539 #359stax https://t.co/DhFMjFZBs4

"To live and act without guarantees; to act without the security of teleology: it is significant that although by the end of the film Chihiro's safe restoration to the human world is certain, we know nothing of Haku's fate." - Cortez 48 https://t.co/UpV1ZkmqVb

@lethal_heroine what a beauty

[Pari Adams @PariAdams]

@virtualcasey This one worked! The bath house scene where Chihiro is washing the stink spirit #engl359 #359deformations

[Pari Adams @PariAdams]

When I first saw this film as a kid it scared me so much, so I chose the scene where Chihiro is being comforted by Lin. Don't know what I did wrong technically for mine to turn out as a square though... #engl359 #359deformations #SpiritedAway

"The same set of circumstance will affect different people in different ways. Not that there are different truths, there are different reactions to particular events. The crucial function of art is to tell the truth, to find the truth in a situation" 2/2 #engl359
