"Lost in Translation" is not so much a movie as a lyrical poem from a female perspective, whether it is an international student who has crossed the ocean or a businessman flying around, as long as you withdraw from the society you are used to living in and enter a society of "others", you will inevitably have a sense of alienation and loneliness.

This subtle and wonderful emotion is naturally compatible with Sofia Coppola's own innate intimacy with Hollywood, and she is the only Coppola princess in Hollywood, the only second generation of stars.

Since I was a baby, I have appeared in a masterpiece like "The Godfather", which is definitely a benefit that can only be exchanged for saving the world in my previous life, and others can't think of luck.

But on the other hand, Sofia Coppola's identity is destined to be picked on and scrutinized by the public, especially when she debuted on the big screen as an important supporting actress in "The Godfather 3", which is almost destined to be beaten into a sieve by public opinion, unless she is really an acting genius who is not a virgin.

But it's a pity that talent has never had anything to do with blood, and the poor performance in "The Godfather 3" and the bad reviews it attracted made her stay away from movies and Hollywood for a while.

Doing a clothing business in Europe with her friends alone to get away from the chaos of North America, but sometimes things are so wonderful, and the experience of living in Europe and RB inspired a spark in her heart.

Although "The Winged Angel (Death of Neodymium)" opened her career as a director, "Lost in Translation" is a portrayal of her heart.

The $4 million, low-budget film, which is owned by Universal's Focus Pictures, has only eight American crew members, including the lead actor and actress and Sofia Coppola and cinematographer Lance Arcord.

The rest of the staff were all found in RB's local area, and needless to say, how touching the English level of RB people was, many jobs could only be done by director Sophia and photographer Lance in person, taking candid shots in the streets and alleys of Tokyo.

At the same time, in order to recreate the romantic image of Sid and Lance in "Curfew", Sofia Coppola once again insisted on shooting with a film camera.

This made the filming of "Lost in Translation" even more difficult.

It can be said that film shooting, especially such a literary film with a small budget and a small crew, is definitely an "alternative masochism" for the director and crew members.

Because only self-denial can tap the energy of oneself and the film from the inside out, and show the results that are difficult to be presented in ordinary movies in the picture and story.

Just like Sofia Coppola's original idea for this story - in an unfamiliar environment, people are especially prone to fall into the examination and reflection of life at midnight, and the texture of external prosperity and inner desolation will involuntarily attract people.

You have the world, but you have no companions.

And in "Lost in Translation", the encounter between the hero and heroine Bob and Charlotte is not so much love as an encounter, not so much the love between men and women, but an inner encounter.

Just like Leon and Matilda in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", two lonely souls meet together, and people will eventually find that the world of flowers and mirrors is not as good as the day when you and I depend on each other.

Under such a tone, the encounter between the hero and heroine, and the neon lights wandering at midnight reflect each other, and finally form a wonderful poem of images.

"Lost in Translation" is both a purely female perspective and a completely foreign perspective, which gives the film a unique and unique aesthetic.

Bitterness, sweetness, beauty, movingness, humor in oppression and wonder in confusion – it is this unique quality that has made Lost in Tokyo its unique place in the history of cinema.

This proves once again that a good movie doesn't require a lot of money and a lot of manpower, and many of the dogmas and principles that Hollywood regards as box office guarantees seem so ridiculous.

As the time enters October, the TV circle represented by Fire Lion TV has finally ushered in their popular season, and several sequels such as "The Romance of Mom and Dad Season 2", as well as new dramas such as "Ugly Betty" have appeared on the small screen one after another.

The broadcast of these veteran American dramas is of course for the Fire Lion TV to continue to draw audiences from the cinema to the front of the TV, but at the same time, on the Fire Lion's Lifestyle Channel, a new competition reality show has finally made its debut after months of heavy publicity.

This is Hell's Kitchen by British chef Gordon Ramsay!

Amateur chefs of all identities auditioned from all over the United States, from kitchen helpers to insurance clerks, from single moms to college students, have to take on Chef Gordon Ramsay's difficult questions every week, and demand these amateur chefs with chef-level requirements, just think about it.

But the rewards for the winner are also very generous – the winner will receive $2 million worth of "Hell's Kitchen" ownership and the opportunity to run a restaurant with Gordon Ramsay.

In every aspect of the show, "Hell's Kitchen" has a strong shadow of "American Idol", the same national auditions, the same demanding challenges, and the final jaw-dropping rewards.

But Sid pointed out that reality TV shows like "Hell's Kitchen" and "American Idol" are not only about the idea and design, but also about the people of the show - that is, the signature façade characters!

"American Idol" has the originally little-known British poisonous tongue music producer Simon Cowell, who tore apart the ecology of the record industry with a warm appearance, showed the ugliness and reality in front of the public, and attracted the public to watch while scolding, and its momentum is no different from the European and American melon-eating public who later scolded and watched the Kardashian family.

And the face of "Hell's Kitchen" is, of course, the host of the show, Gordon Ramsay!

This celebrity chef, who is also from the United Kingdom, although he is well-known in the United Kingdom and Europe, is still an out-and-out newcomer to the North American audience.

But when he saw him on the TV screen facing the contestants under high pressure, he shouted: "You idiot!

Whenever someone is slow to chop vegetables in front of him, he will glare: "I wish you didn't have those hands!"

And unlike Simon Cowell, who can only comment on the "embarrassment" that he can't sing, Gordon Ramsay is a real three-Michelin-starred chef, and in "Hell's Kitchen", the show will not only film the competition of amateur chefs, but also show Gordon Ramsay's cooking skills as a top chef.
