I didn't get the real message of this movie.
Did Coppola do it with Ford yes or no?
I can't believe he copped out. Nor I can believe he actually did her.
So what happened?
Anybody knows the truth?
Who?
shareWhich part don't you understand?
shareHarrison Ford isn't in this movie.
shareOP must have posted this under the wrong movie.
shareThey didn't post under the wrong movie. Sofia Coppola has said that the movie was based on a similar experience she had in Tokyo with Harrison Ford. OP is asking whether Sofia and Harrison went further than the movie implies or not.
shareWell if they did... I envy her.
shareSo wait, they told ScarJo she was going to be opposite a Harrison Ford-type and they stick her with Bill Murray? I bet she was pissed!
shareAhaha, that's a funny idea lol.
But it helps here as a platonic connection made on character compatibility, rather than phisical attraction. I think it works BECAUSE he is not a super attractive sex symbol, that would make it less interesting and more superficial.
She is hot allright, but also plays it down as a wife with some self confidence complex.
He looks like shit, as always, but he has charisma and he's famous and mature (at least compared to her whimpy husband).
That's the balance here, and I like it.
Funny how in the real world, Coppola looks like shit and Ford is attractive and considered hot, so the balance was totally inverted.
Finally someone that knows.
Have you heard if they had a serious affair or was it platonic like in LIT?
No idea. To be honest, I'm not completely sure if she did say that as I've never seen her discussing it in an interview. Maybe people just thought it was based on him and it somehow got exaggerated into definitely being about him?

Well, who wouldn't? Harrison Ford is HARRISON FORD!!!
I don’t think it was ever 100% confirmed it was Ford or any other actor.
That said, if this movie is any indication, they did not sleep together. I think if they had, it would have been a different movie.
Ok, but the movie ends where the movie ends.
Real life goes on. They would have had plenty of time to meet later, back in the US and whatnot.
Not to mention that he tells her something at the end.
Bob and Charlotte could've never gotten together back in the U.S. He's too well known, and the tabloids would eat it up.
By the same token, Coppola and Ford couldn't have gotten together back in the U.S. without raising the same sort of fuss; bigger even, since they're both celebrities and Ford was (and is) far from the has-been that Bob seems to be.
So the end of the movie is the end of their relationship, fictional and fact-based.
Also, since Murray improvised his final lines to Charlotte (and we don't get to hear them anyway), there's no way that scene played out in real life between Coppola and Ford.
Added to which, Coppola's never confirmed it was Ford -- it's just a popular guess (since Ford was doing those sorts of ads in Japan at around the right time).
Ok, so your take is, they never fucked.
Allright, I guess it makes sense considering what you wrote, and also she was inspired to write a movie about it, so it would be weird if there was more other than this platonic flirt.
