When she was a small child, he gave a pro-segregation speech that incited a race riot. She is ashamed of his racism and refuses to live in America. However she readily accepts his money to support her lifestyle. Alice holds another grudge against her father: when she fell in love with a Chinese man and declared her intention to marry, her father flew to China to stop her. Now Alice seeks only one-night-stands with Chinese men under a false name, and tells herself she is seeking “a true Chinese man”. She keeps in close touch with her former fiancé’s mother, and revels in learning traditional ways. Gezellig (Dutch): essentially the Dutch v

Let's start with a seemingly obvious but wildly overlooked detail: Nicole Mones' "Lost in Translation" is not Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation." I mean, sure, they're both about American women floating adrift in Asian countries who have asexual relationships with American men that teach them about the culture in which they've been absorbed and also about themselves. But OTHER THAN THAT, they're totally different stories. (Full disclosure: I didn't realize how similar they were when when I started this rant. Nicole Mones may very well be due a piece of an Oscar in a IP settlement.) But just as China isn't Japan (seriously, people, stop all the conflating), the novel's heroine Alice, isn't Coppola's little ball of ennui. Alice gets LAID. She loves Chinese men, she isn't shy about it and she'll readily hop on her bike to go get some action (which she does in the very first chapter, #HYFR #feminism). adj. When meeting someone for the first time, and your intuition tells you that they are a good person, you can refer to them as “szimpatikus.” The key to the novel's success is Mones's in-depth knowledge of China's culture, history, and politics. The question of cultural identity is at the core of her tale, and she skillfully weaves various aspects of Chinese life--from ancestor worship to the Cultural Revolution--into the personal relationships of her characters. By novel's end, readers have discovered a great deal about archeology, China, and most especially about the unmapped territories of memory, desire, and identity. Lost in Translation is a fine first novel, the first salvo of a promising literary career. Best Movies of the Decade!". Entertainment Weekly. December 3, 2009.

Writing for Slate, David Edelstein argued that it was "the Bill Murray performance we've been waiting for", adding that "his two halves have never come together as they do here, in a way that connects that hilarious detachment with the deep and abiding sense of isolation that must have spawned it". [87] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly regarded Murray's performance as Oscar-worthy and lauded it as his "most vulnerable and unmannered" to date; she praised his treatment of a more delicate role as well as his improvisations in the film's comic sequences. [88] The New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell had similar praise, calling Lost in Translation "Mr. Murray's movie" and remarking that the actor "supplies the kind of performance that seems so fully realized and effortless that it can easily be mistaken for not acting at all".
