Lost in Translation was one of my favourite films, but now as a middle aged man not so much anymore?

I've always loved Lost in Translation since I saw it in my twenties. It has that mood and cerebral goodness, with fantastic cinematography and great music. It's such a chill film. Although I'm male I always identified more with Scarlet's character because of her age. Her trying to figure out her place in the world, and discovering Asian/Japaneese culture for the first time. Just all her youthful angst and emo moments. I also loved Murray's character and the relationship they got. Now 20 years later I'm older with kids and I relate more to Murray's character obviously, and it feels strange. The film used to be about so many things, but now it's more about the midlife crisis than anything else. Obviously the film means different things to different people depending on where they are in life.I have this print by Alice Zhang on our wall, and I've always loved that print. It captures the mood of this film perfectly. When I look at it I can literally hear the movie soundtrack. Now lately I look at it and it makes me a little uncomfortable. Murray's character is a 50 year old middle aged man trying to be youthful again, hanging around in Tokyo with a twenty year old, and even though they never showed any sexual interest on his part, there is a romantic element there. Also I never gave it a thought that Scarlet was 17 at the time of filming it. I get the story was about the friendship and them having their own seperate crisis (hers being scared of figuring out adult life, and his being scared of getting old and "past it"). My much more mature perspective now makes it a different movie for me and it woke me up a a little when I heard Scarlet explaining in an interview it was a "tough shoot". I never in my youth years thought of their relationship as inapropriate and never really gave the age difference much thought at all. Maybe it's my own mid life crisis that makes it so obvious to me now.Keeping this print on the wall might suggest to visitors that I'm having a mid-life crisis and looking to replace the wife with a younger model, when actually it just reminds me of myself being young.https://ift.tt/zIU6f5n via /r/movies https://ift.tt/6VGrC5p
