the music reminds me of mulan's transformation into man to take her father's place in army of china.. i must say it was a good idea to use the same music for this video...
I loved the book and movie, but I can't help but hate the fact they got the Maiko hair style completely wrong...and that Sayuri is played by a Chinese girl.
um...if you're so mad that they used chinese people to play japanese, why aren't you mad when they use american actors to play british people, or british actors to play French people. And don't you just "hate" when the AMERICAN Audrey hepburn played a....omg :O....RUSSIAN person in War and Peace *dun dun dunnnn* So you see, it's really easy to say somethings wrong but when you really look at it, what you said is dumb. Actors need pretend all the time, it their JOB.
You looked a bit too far into a harmless comment there. I don't like that they cast her because she has a Chinese accent. It throws off the fantasy their trying to weave for the story. That's my complaint. Not the fact that she is Chinese. If she could imitate a Japanese accent, I wouldn't have minded or cared. Or even noticed really. And you're right; actors are paid to pretend to be someone else...convincingly. Zhang Ziyi is a great actress, but wasn't convincing as a Japanese girl.
the song from mulan goes really well with the arrangement you've made. when you think about it, mulan and memoirs of a geisha are similar in the message theyr trying to convey: 2 young women trying to break free and uphold their honour
Wow that was absolutely lovely! You did a fantastic job with the scene selections you chose and the music was perfect for it! :)
One thing though, I thought the title of that piece of the Mulan soundtrack was called "Mulan's Choice" not Haircut. As near as I can tell from the cd and dvd none of the pieces are titled Haircut. Maybe we have different versions? (Sorry, just a bit confused by it. *heh*)
Will you idiots stop advertising sites like that!!!!!!!!!!
Argh, sorry. Those guys piss me off. Lovely vid, that's honestly my favourite song from the Mulan soundtrack, and I love how you put it to clips from Geisha.
i'm the same as roque980! please could you upload it onto 'yousendit' or something? =D
btw i thought the video was lovely! the clips of the girl and the woman were contrasted so well... i thought it was an excellent piece of work, and the chinese music going with japanese story i thought was entirely justified considering the theme. :)
I know that, but I still think the music and the footage fit, cause they harmonize perfectly and convey the feeling of motion and change just the way I intended them to. Btw Japanese and Chinese music (or what a European (that's what I am) understands as such) often sounds quite similar. A Chinese or Japanese person might deny that, but as I'm not Chinese or Japanese I can't see why the Mulan-theme shouldn't fit with footage of "The Geisha".(Now go and call me a philistin ;-))
I'm not Japanese either, but I've lived in Japan. I know that Japanese people get quite upset when they're comparied with or paired with anything else Asian that's not Japanese - especially Chinese.
It's just odd you chose the music from a Chinese story
that's okay, I respect different cultures and their individuality (and I'm interested in lots of them too!), but this is an example of artistic licence. And I believe art is above such things as "cultural bounds".
This music match perfect with the movie and the clip. I totally love it. *Save to Favorites* :D You really did a fantasic job. Keep up the good work^^
Awesome!! I loved the movie, and the book was even better <333 You really did a nice job with this video. BTW, what video editing software do you know? Seras wants to know, thanks!! <333
It's beautiful.I remember this song well lol when I was little I saw mulan ton-of-times lol...but please remember that Mulan's a chinese movie and this one is a japanese one,even if the charactes are most chinese ^^.But this is going to my faves lol!
The music is so ironic!!! lol From Chinese Mulan to Japanese Sayuri. But you have to admit it does set the mood.
