  • anyone else think the title should be "geisha 3 engrish"???

  • Last few seconds... Mmkay gurl that is just nasty. :1

  • Oh poor baby......:(.

  • 2:22 AH HAHHA - LOL not the whipping but the noise

  • Hatsumomo may look beautiful but she's evil. She blackmailed Chiyo just so she could watch her get beaten with a stick.

  • Goddamnit Hatsumomo is so freaken beautifull :(

  • Hatsumomo's a lot more cruel in the book. She's still a bitch here too though. But man, she's gorgeous.

  • this is so depressing I love this mvie

  • Sayuri (Chi-yo chan) is very exotic looking. Those eyes just say it all. When she looked at Hatsumomo I was like, "Chi-yo chan is going to make it through life with that determination."

  • gosh how cruel are these bitches...

  • get out of the chiyo!!! if they know that u saw them having sex you'll never be able to leave!!

  • hatsumomo comes off way more bitchy in the book than in the film, the film hatsumomo is an angel compared to the books..lol

  • I love the umbrellas. ^_^ Hatsumomo is pure bitch isn't she.

  • Aww....Poor Chiyo! Everything is against her!

    Hatsumomo's a bitch.

  • oh yeah it is japanese i heard her say sorry! oin japanes

  • There are parts to this movie that are disgustingly cruel, with how they treated the children. Then again, this movie portrays the life of a geisha in a beautiful kind of way. This movie makes me so melancholy.

  • @modoggie10 Hitting children is a normal habit in oriental Asia.

  • @AikoKayo that is why they are well behaved...unlike most American children...hehehe

  • The book is awsome too...

  • i love the movie but the book is worlds better.

  • dat bitch beat the old woman lol not just young girl

  • OMG i cna't belive what they did to her

  • Idiot, Geiko is another name for Geisha, and if you knew two things bout the basics of Maiko and Geiko, you would know there are inaccuracies in this movie left and right. If you want a good book about the life of Maiko and Geiko, read "Geisha, a Life". The author of "Memoirs" admitted that he had altered it to sell more.

  • rock on girL!

  • yea, you're probably right. I don't know much about actual geisha, but movies and books always change stuff to appeal to their readers. It's kind of annoying, really.

  • Was this in old Japan or China?

    I think its Japan.

  • there are no geishas in china nit wit

  • @deathraiser91 Well actually China had Yi Ji (藝妓), Japan had Geisha (芸妓), and Korea had Kisaeng (기생). They were all practically equivalents of one another.

  • their english is hard to understand

    but this is a great movie

  • Hatsumomo is a bitch.

    This repeats. The part where she meets her sister.

  • hatsumono is pretty but evil

    i wonder wats her story

    memoirs of a geisha is a book i started reading it and i loved it

    its just as powerful as the movie

    anyone know any other movies like it???

  • yeah.

    read "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Phillipa Gregory. and then watch the movie. its really good.

    another good one is "The Duchess".. the one with Kiera Knightly...

    good luck!

  • umm.... ok so......

    Hatsumomo 's at home-indifferent-casual look

    is the hair down n no make up?

  • Gong Li always looks like she smelling something bad.

    Did you know if you say her name with a different tone it means kilometer?

  • azn parents...

    this isnt uncommon, brings back memories :P

  • poor darling!

  • hatsumono looks like my mom xD

  • wow i wish my mom did lol

  • whoa that loop threw me off....lol

  • I know rite

  • poor chiyo :( hatsumomo is evil!

  • Evil, uh huh, Hot -As-Hell?...definitely.

  • Why did they pour water on her before they beat her? - Lucy

  • The water makes it hurt more because then it stings your skin :S

  • It makes is sting more.

  • @WarPlay3 so the impact of the whip/broom will hurt more.

  • heh freakin drunks XD but the drunk lady deserves 2 get the whipping instead of poor chiyo-chan. >=(

  • why was she beaten?! poor chiyo

  • Even though, Hatsumomo ruined Mameha's kimono out of pure hatred and jealousy of her. Chiyo was beaten because the paint brush was in her possession and drew the patterns on it

  • and im pretty sure Hatsumomo wouldnt have said she had anything to do with it

  • Yes. Then again, everyone in Gion has known that Hatsumomo was a known liar and it was risky to believe her.

  • i think it repeated without me doing anything.

  • hey, y did it repeat??

  • poor chiyo...no wonder i hate hatsumomo she thinks she is all that....i like mameha better or however u spell it

  • uhhh repeat?

  • poor satsu. this is all so out of sorts compared to the book.

  • at 7:16 i was watching and suddenly this weird christmas music played xD but then i realized it was this game i put on omg it scared me SO much! xD

  • tht kimmono was worth more than you

  • er.... y did it repeat??

  • i wondered that too!

  • christ look at them shoes not exactly stilletos or platforms but jesus dont they look uncomfortable

  • i`m austrian .. and i can understand them .

  • i´m dutch myselfs i can understand them perfectly,, its only a bit of a accent but it isn´t like i couldn´t understand them.

  • not really.

  • o_o - y did it repeat??? =(

  • hey man, just the whole 'high standards' thing was being stereotypical. not every asian is like that. and if you were being bad or something, it's not called 'beatings' it's called 'discipline'. and like i said, back then, you had to honour your okiya that you are residing in, which also means the geisha that is supporting the household (bringing in money. i was merely explaining why she got a beating

  • yeah, yeah i know...

  • the movie would have been much better if it was made in Japanese with English subs imo

  • yeah, so i learn more japanese.

  • no la , so that it's more authentic. n we wont have to deal wib those weird accents

  • yea. plus it woulda kelped if they didn't use chinese actresses ( gong li, ziyi zhang) but i guess it doesn't matter. it's still a great movie.

  • eeeerrrr.......Repeating

  • waaa... suzuka ohgo.. so nostalgic..

    i miss sexy voice and robo...

    T_T

  • why does it repeat?

  • why did it start over because it started over

  • hotsumomo knew that sayuri[chiyo] was gonna outshine her big time. she sabataged her right from the biginingg. but in the end sayuri came outt because she is alot like water who can go through the tiniest crack and who alwayss finds a way out ^.^

  • ohh, about the beating part..O_o; Hatsumomo's word is usually taken for, sad to say... Chiyo's only a child and she needs to show 'respect' for the geisha she resides with (remember: "always honour this okiya"?) sooo, what happened was Hatsumomo told on her again, and since destroying a kimono is a HUGE offense, she deserved a 'lesson'. i know it's terrible to look at, but this is what they went through years ago. Thank god child labour and beating is not tolerated any longer eh?

  • i kinda disagree. like, there's 2 sides to the argument. on one hand, some kids dont deserve it but some do and u can never tell which should get beatings. also, if asian people didn't have such strict rules and high standards, we wouldn't be high "educationally". no offense to anyone but seriously, the stereotype is kinda true. anyway, last thing, i still get beaten so it still exsists.

  • What is an obi? I read the book, but I never understood what that was :S

  • It's the sash thats worn around the waist. If you wore it in front, that meant you were a prostitute.

  • i read that somewhere

  • why did they beat her the little girl what she had done

  • because that she ruined the kimono that belonged to another geisha (Mameha)

  • thatz not right when they start hiting her

  • you can also tell that satsu is a prostitute because when hatsamomo tells chiu(sioule)where she is she tells her that she lives in the pleasure district :)

  • let me just correct you... it's Chiyo not chiu ^_^ and it's Sayuri not Sioule...

  • that place where Satsu is, is where she is a prostitute, you can tell by the obi tied front. while a geisha has ranks and are more appreciated. They have to be able to sing, dance and perform and yes entertain.

  • True. The obi in the front means it's easier to take the kimono off. Hence=Prositute

  • they used to do the mizuage ceremony where the highest bidder takes the virginity of the maiko.

    this is not done anymore.

  • that we know of

  • Actually, the mizuage is a coming-of-age ritual when a maiko (apprentice geisha) is promoted to be a full-fledged geisha. It has nothing to do with a high bidder taking a geisha's virginity. That's the mistake on Arthur Golden's part. He simply confused Geisha with Oiran.

  • I don't see why they are denying your facts. They are true. O.o;

  • They're more like entertainers than prostitutes.

    And they do have an auction for their virginities, but the rest is optional.

  • Only in the older days. It is now a non-existent practice. And it wasn't too good for their look to offer sex services, so that was rarely done.

  • r geishas actualy prostitutes or no?

  • No. They are not prostitutes. They sell thier skills (dancing and singing and party-throwing) not thier bodies.

  • so its jus in this movie? like the "eel in the cave" stuff...

  • they arent prostitutes but they do have sex for money

  • The omly time they do that is when they need a danna. He supports her financially in return for... that first time in a geisha's life...

  • no, they r not.

  • It is just a myth about them selling sex for money. They do have dannas but it is optional if they want to sleep with them

  • i know that you don't have to sleep w/ ur husband...

    and a myth is usu. a traditional story of ostensibly HOISTORICAL events to unfold part of the world view of people or explain a prctice, belief, or natuaral phenomenon...

    so it's just a THEORY not a myth...

  • look it up on wikipedia

    they are definately not prostitutes

    in the movie her sister satsu is a prostitute wheras she is training to be a geisha

  • they're not prostitutes. they're the "artist" of their time. it is up to them to have sex with their customer... now, some actresses do this, don't they? XD

  • gongli isint as good in this movie as in the Curse of the Golden Flower

  • its just a movie ..... they're acting that way

  • does anyone know if this movie is based on a true story?

  • yea it not true he says so in the back of the book al characters a fake

  • Ok. The author says that it wasn't, but apparently he got sued for releasing certain information that was based off a successful geisha, but the thing is, the geisha wrote a bio about herself, and it was completely opposite of the book the author wrote. Hatsumomo was actually really close to the geisha etc etc...

  • It's based on true facts but the story is fiction.

  • it's not loud enough

  • why did they play the same part twice???

  • who ever flag his vids sucks

  • walah.... kasian amat pas digebukin!!!

  • there is like a min missing. From when Hatsumomo pushes corin up agaisnt the wall to when this one starts ... it doesnt show them stumbling around or grabbing Mameha's Kimono off the shelf.

  • gosh, poor Chiyo! Everyone else treats her like dirt with no consideration for her! *spits at them*

  • wah, sedih banget sich liat scene dibantai gt. huhuhu... dnata!!!! tisunya manaaaaaaaaa....

  • it skipped back i ddnt even notice... it really made me confused too...

  • what do you mean?

  • It did that to me too

    It plays the same part twice

  • in the middle part, it suddenly turned back to the start. watch it carefully...
