Watching #LostInTranslation 23 years on. I know that they didn'thave Google Maps and Google Translate then. But soo many things around the movie just don't ring true.
1) the terrible translator in the ad filming scene - Japan has so many professional translators

The Times can’t even be bothered to spell Wrocław right. Anyway, I’ve been there five times, and it is nothing like Venice. It has one river and no canals. It’s beautiful and doesn’t need to be a dupe of anywhere.

Nick Clegg's "Commission on Inequality in Education" 2017. Yet another irrelevant excuse for the great and the good to hobnob and produce nothing of any import for a thinktank based in Millbank Tower.
Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.
