一个关于现代焦虑和文化错位的故事。正如这部电影的导演索菲·科波拉所拍摄的那样，屏幕上充斥着一个炙热美丽的东京的一幕幕场景：霓虹灯照亮的新宿，一家原始的寿司吧，一座寺庙的宁静，一家夜总会的参差不齐的奢侈。所有这一切都是通过两位美国旅行者的视角进行的，他们在外国文化中迷失，就像他们在家乡的个人生活中一样迷失。陌生人当他们第一次见面时，两人因为共同的失眠和不适而联系在一起。两人都是不情愿前往一个谁都不感兴趣的国家的游客；两人都是完全陌生的日本人。然而，这种陌生感不仅引发了文化(错误)交流中的滑稽和鸿沟，还引发了两者之间的亲密关系。当他们分开的时候，日本对他们来说已经获得了新的吸引力和意义。然而，这两个角色都没有表现出对这个国家更多的了解或理解：他们和第一次入住酒店时一样一无所知。事实上，这部电影的观众也有同样的立场，因为陌生人在这样一种文化中迷失了自我，尽管这种文化既古怪又美丽，但它是外来的，是外部的“翻译”。2004年，美国广播公司播出了一集长期播出的儿童电视节目《强力睡眠》，其中一个故事提到了科波拉在全球青年文化和千禧年资本主义中的日本时尚A N N E A L L我S O N
a tale about modern-day angst and cultural dislocation. As shot by the fi lm’s director, Sofi a Coppola, the screen fi lls with scene after scene of a searingly beautiful Tokyo: neon-lit Shinjuku, a pristine sushi bar, the quietude of a temple, a nightclub’s jagged excesses. All of this is fi ltered through the perspective of two American travelers who are as lost in this foreign culture as they are in their personal lives back home. Strangers when they fi rst meet, the two connect over shared insomnia and malaise. Both are reluctant visitors to a country that neither one is interested in; both fi nd Japan utterly strange. Yet the strangeness inspires not only gaff es and gaps in cultural (mis)communication but also intimacy between the two. By the time they part, Japan has acquired a new attractiveness and meaning for them. Yet neither character exhibits greater knowledge or understanding of the country: they are as clueless as when they fi rst checked into their hotel. Indeed, the fi lm’s audience shares the same position, as strangers “lost” in a culture that, while quirkily and sensuously beautiful, is foreign and outside “translation.” In 2004 ABC aired an episode of the long-running children’s television show, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, with a story that referenced Coppola’s The Japan Fad in Global Youth Culture and Millennial Capitalism A N N E A L L I S O N
