ENG205 Discussion Questions - Cross-cultural communication - Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation
“Suntory Whiskey time” and cross-cultural communication
Module 3 – “Communicating Across Cultures”
Film title: Lost in Translation. Dir. Sofia Coppola. Perf. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray. 2003. DVD. Focus Features.
Location in DVD: Scene 4 – “Suntory Time”
Film synopsis
Actor Bob Harris (Bill Murray) finds himself in Tokyo filming a whiskey commercial and meets a young woman played by Scarlett Johansson. Their subsequent near-romance takes them through the complexities of Japan’s urban culture.

What other factors other than national culture are evident in this scene?
Does Bob Harris succeed in creating “More intensity!” when delivering the line “F
