Final Whisper from 'Lost in Translation' Revealed

I think perhaps the loneliness and desperation that there characters shared is misconstrued as love. This is about two people surviving their circumstances.
And his geriatric appearance juxtaposed to her youth is creepy for any woman anyway... definitely!

Boy, am I ever glad that twotonetommy, pi87 and others have complained about the sound editing of todays movies and television! Actors mumble, music is dubbed over dialogue, ambient noise from a given scene drowns out what is said, native accents prevent comprehension of the spoken words, and actors are in SPEED-SPEAKING mode-somewhat like a VERBAL EVELYN WOODS version of the script. Think of the old Fed-Ex commercials where the guy spoke about 400 words a minute or Demosthenes who used to study oratory talking with pebbles in his mouth and recited verses while running. Even multiple playbacks on my DVR fail to elicit any comprehensibility. It's NOT my hearing...I can detect a mouse-fart at the far end of the Milky Way!

This is fake, other sources have used sound equipment and come up with totally different results. BBC2's The Culture Show got, "I love you. Don't forget to always tell the truth." Personally, I can't hear a similarity to either of these two translations. Besides, the ambiguous ending is perfect as it is. Nothing they could possibly say would be as powerful as what we imagine they say - that's the point!

Okay. Great. Now can they use their digital superpowers to tell me what was in the box at the end of Barton Fink?

Good Lord! Bill Murray is old enough to be her GRANDFATHER!!!!!!

I don't think we'll ever really know what Bill Murray's character said because it isn't whatever Bill Murray said. My guess is that Bill probably said something like, "I am saying the most amazing thing ever said to a woman," or "We're done Sweetheart, we finally get to blow this taco stand and go home." The point is, that in this perfect film by the brilliant Sofia Coppola, his character said whatever each viewer wants to believe he said. That is why it is a perfect ending, a transcendent film, and why we love it so much. It's pointless (and not possible) to figure out what he said because no matter what it is, it's not the character's line. Now I have to watch it again. Bravo, Sofia!

We're not suppose to know what was whispered...but rather imagine what should have been said.

Who gives a frog's fart what the "final whisper" was in the film LOST IN TRANSITION. Most Americans these days (except the galactically stupid ones) hate all Hollywood actors because politically, and on the plane of sincere humanitarianism, that's exactly what they are...hypocrite ACTORS!

It's easier to understand what the ghosts are saying in the EVP's on Ghost Hunters.

Are you talkiname?
WE do not view movies NOT to understand every word in the dialogue and frankly we are beyond frustrated with poor sound quality and actors minus training to ensure we are able to comprehend what the script writers have provided for them.
IF those making this film had felt it was important for their paying customers to understand that line, would they not have ensured every word was crystal clear? WE NEVER go to movie theaters any longer, instead stick with receiving DVD's in the mail-and as for clear understanding of dialogue we no longer expect it from so called 'movie personalities' instead feel secure with Donald Ducks always clear statements!

I think Pierpoint Windsor is on to something. It seems to be the penchant of directors to have a great deal of the script's dialog to be acted in softly whispered, intimate conversation while too often the actors are turned away from the camera and microphone. What's with that? I prefer to see a live play where the actors feel the obligation to communicate with their audience.

Besides the background music is SO loud, I have a hard enough time hearing what the actors say most of the time. Directors please turn the volume down

The most famous last words: Oh, I'll worry about that tomorrow!!!

paul is dead ..........i bury paul .........take ob la de la da.........dont spoil your dream hear what you will .....bill would have said a party a party for me.......... baby steps
who knows but i bet his last words were funny

Thank you Jim I agree...we're not suppose to know what was said....in fact it doesn't really matter what was said between them....that's just another part of the film. Use a little imagination...personally I think he said "This movie sucks and I am glad this is the final scene" HA I am kidding of course call your dogs off future posters!

"rosebud"

A friend recommended this movie to me last year and I loved it. It's never bothered me that I couldn't understand what he whispered..that's the beauty of it. I think I'm going to have to rent this movie again though.

Thank you for revealing your own hang ups prejudice about age.

Only the Anglo world is so judgmental about this an issue.

In the rest of the world age is respected.

Relationships between adults are not judged on such an irrelevant standard, but rather on how each person can contribute to the happiness and well-being of the other.
