《Lost in Translation》 is directed by Sofia Coppola, is her second feature film after 《The Virgin Suicides》, and also is film's written is still by Sofia Coppola. 《Lost in Translation》 from start filming until end filming just use 45 days, and this film was screened at the 2003 Telluride Film Festival, just on opening weedend, it grossed $4.1 million, and it whole world gross revenue is 119.7 million, but the film's budget just is $4 million. I choose this film, because it is a successful film and film's story is very good that it can give audience a very strong feeling, can let audience feel that lonely in a unknown country and the surprise of find a friend in this country.
