@XMtnDude: Chinese people tend to group Sabres and Knives into their own group because they both have single edge. Swords are separated from knives/sabres because they have 2 edges.
@Bioloser no, they are quite different. a knife is shorter than a sword normally. knives are more masculine, so u could see guys using knives more often; meanwhile, swords show more grace than knives, so ladies would prefer swords. =)
"Zhang Ziyi shouldn't be playing a japanese woman"
I think it's stupid! I mean, they're actors! It's in the concept that they play someone they aren't in real life! I mean Renee Zellweger is playing a british woman in Bridget Jones! But noone criticize that! And they don't have to because that's what actors do! And so it's the with Zhang Ziyi! So stop complaining and enjoy the movie!
obviously, i know what actors do. i just feel that something that is deeply cultural should be represented by the people of that culture-out of respect, especially since there are plenty of japanese actresses that could've token the role.
i agree. in america, people of polish descene may play someone who has a german family. no one has a problem with that. or a nigerian actor playing someone from zimbabwe.
Really? And what "race" does Takeshi Kaneshiro appear to be?
A MINORITY of Japanese didn't like a Chinese playing a geisha because that minority is incurably bigotted. And shall we avoid discussing Japan's Rape of Nanjing?
I think ur wrong, you can't see it, but everbody knows.And the japanese weren't pissed because Geisha are part of Japanese culture but because zhang ziyi is Chinese - there've been 2 wars between China and Japan, thus it's pretty obvious why they can't stand each other. Nevertheless I think it's quite childish to be pissed off just because a Chinese actress portrayed a Japanese woman.I mean, who hasn't seen films with American or British actors portraying Germans or Austrians(7 years in tibet...
She's the best looking chinese female actress out there, and speaks very good English. Seeing as she's dating a major shareholder of time Warner, I wouldn't be suprised if she becomes an American citizen.
LOL u r so childish in ur words. show how immature u r. as i sed b4, its jz an opinion, no one has 2 be rude about it and there's no need to make personal attacks.
btw, jet li is not old enuf 2 be ziyi's gramps. their age diff is only 16years. so unless ur family hv the tradition 2 fuck even b4 they're born, u're so so so off the track in ur comment. have u no general knowledge on age gaps between mariage?16 years is freaking common.

she's not THAT beautiful... just becuz she's like one of the few asian actresses in hollywood doesnt mean she's talented... i watched memoirs of a geisha, and honestly, i have to admit that the little girl who played chiyo was much better than ziyi zhang.
she was actually nominated for a golden globe as best actress for "memoirs" in which she was obviously very good, & most of her career has been in CHINESE film (crouching tiger, house of flying daggers etc.) in which she got most of her fame & not hollywood even though she's just transitioned in the last couple years & yea she is beautiful & obviously talented :)
You're a bitch. Ziyi is insanely famous in chinese film. She could also backflip through your chimney and kill your ass with tha green destiny before you knew what hit ya.
English is her 2nd language. I'm sure if anyone takes up a second language, problems pronouncing words and phrases will occur. Try learning Chinese. I bet anyone will have difficult time in the pronunciations and the writing system even more so. She is very good compare to other Chinese friends I know.
What am I supposed to know about her? any why does it matter? she is a good actress and she is hot. She speaks english with a cute accent. Why you gotta be hating????
No i didnt say that 2 u I was talking 2 Sealpointmm im sorry if u thought it was u i would never say that 2 u. Me and u love her she is just really beautiful stunning woman.
yea, just be carefull. She might slice you in half with her sword while your not noticing! Or even worse, you might get in a sword fight dule with her!

being a big, diary writing british woman isn't.

What does that have anything to do with respect?

because geisha is cultural and based in tradition. it was a priviledge.
