Hmmm... I'd never thought about this scene in that way, plastiquemonkey, but I really appreciate your offering a different perspective. I laughed at this scene, but certainly not at the woman's accent. That's not what the scene means to me. What it, and really the whole movie is about, at least in large part, is how uncomfortable and lonely the main characters are- truly strangers in a strange land. I think it is a universally applicable theme and story. Think of transposing the Bill Murray character into a Japanese or Italian star visiting say, Toronto, and a prostitute interrupting their repose with a slapstick seduction and broken language. Just as funny.

i hate this movie! especially this scene...

so lame. and mean.

i feel so sorry for the poor, lonely americans, stuck in an expensive hotel in tokyo. meanwhile, everyone laughs at the japanese woman's accent, speaking english in her home country. i'd like to hear bill murray speak nihongo sometime...

Thank you Plastique!

It's good to see The Story Of One get another chance to escape the queue (especially as I've had the longest drought of published Sifts in my 2+ months of submitting!)

Yeah - sorry again Plastique! I'm having problems with my ISP and was Sift surfing via a web proxy (which I've found screws the video links). Ignore my last comment...only text on the Sift for me until I can sort it out.
