[HQ] Memoirs of a Geisha - Sayuri's dance

[Kadda1234]

I don't get the dance.

I guess I lack the background to really understand, but at least I know that it's basically theater that uses dancing^^

[jetsings]

it's louboutin 1:11

[RoninDave]

If it were a lone dance piece it would be better but put in a film based on traditional Geisha before WWII (and changes to the Geisha world), it stands out like anachronism. It's a blend of geisha, kabuki, and modern dance. It's not a traditional geisha dance! Even the footwear is off. That type was worn by highclass courtesans which doesn't help clear up the image of geisha as prostitutes which they weren't.

[NeoTodesklingel]

I don't get anything but this: It's a true Piece of Art. : )

[lilyeve222]

so beautiful, geisha is such an ancient art in beautiful & mysterious Japan.

[IntoBlackHouse]

I love the Okasan's laugh at the end, so funny

[aurielMoon]

very un-Japanese, but I guess it's entertaining enough...

[TheChouxGirl]

the book is sooooo much better...they could have really done more with the story

[naive95]

la vida ♥



[Klaryrock95]

I watched this movie for the first time on 10th March 2011,one day before the earthquake in Japan :(

[Mizusashi]

I just now realized this scene is from this Japanese Kabuki dance watch?v=Q6O7KFCCEdU God that makes this so much more powerful...she is being tormented by the devils in hell after being unfairly betrayed she is sent to hell to be torn apart, than reborn and destroyed again

[wacky952]

i dont get the dancing part......

[kookilala]

this is my fav scene!

[kookilala]

@kookilala i love Okasans face at the very end!

[GrandChamp1989]

She's so damn beautiful

[starryshark]

ａｈｈｈ，brings back memories :D I really loved hating Hatsumomo in this movie, but liking her character at the same time. I started crying when she left. Because the geisha chick fight between them kept me the most interested

[MotherGoddess369]

The look on Hatsumomo's face when Sayuri walks on the stage is priceless. A very Geisha WTF look.

[robynvanhorn]

i own this movie and i read the book !!! : ))

[starryshark]

@robynvanhorn is the book better than the movie? o.o

[robynvanhorn]

@starryshark i think the book is better. there is of course alot more detail and when she is older also . . she spends more time with that guy that buys her first so when he sells her she feels really let down again .

[SuperMegguy]

[LordPlautus]

[gorantokio]

The violent part is from Kanjincho...

[96texis]

This is so awesome. I'm speechless.

[Jewbag998]

I need a pair of those heels..

[lolahoneyforyou]

what does this dance symbolize...

it was amazing

[LauraStar127]

@lolahoneyforyou

It symbolises heart ache, and loss and betrayal. If you read the book, Sayuri tells the story behind this dance. its about a woman trying to find her husband who has been acting suspiciously, she eventually does find him,she follows him and watches from behind a bush, he is consorting with another woman (Geisha) this saddens her so much so, that she runs away in the snow, eventually collapses in the snow and dies of hypothermia and heart ache.

Can't remember it in full...

[xmaryHXCx]

@LauraStar127 I was just about to post about that lolz, I'm reading the book now, IT'S HELLA GOOD!

[RedpineProductions]

[SuperCareBear18]

[constan1678]

[BlackOrchid1004]

wow, dancing on such heels.. It's just amazing

[IluvKirito]

I love this movie and this is a beautiful scene and all, but...is she supposed to look like a yuurei or is that just another inaccuracy by the director? o_O

[MrYaoiGirl]

I heard somewhere that the dance she's doing is actually from kabuki which is only done by men. >.>

[MatteoJan]

@MrYaoiGirl Noticed and realized after I saw an amazing dancer called Tamasaburo, one of Japan's finest Kabuki dancers <3

[MWeggy206]

Can someone tell me what the dance is intially about?

[dantefangirl14]

@MWeggy206 I cant remember it fully but its something like a girl goes outside in the snow looking for her lover and gets lost, sorry if its wrong 

[BaraYaoiManga]

Oh! Now I remember why I loved this movie.

[LunaTamagaki00]

This is when I fell in love with Sayuri :)

[Sakerune]

@LunaTamagaki00 You weren't in love with her before this scene?!

[uchidagirl]
