Despite what many Japanese people think, I still love this movie! The emotions are always dead-on. The book is great too, one of my favorites, read it first!
too bad the movie suffers from a plot that can be found in any soap opera ever created, however the cinamatography was really well done throughout it.
I read the book and it was amazing. The movie is also great. I could reread and rewacth both of them over and over and still cry at thte end every time. It's an amazing story.
OMG, i thought this was one of the best scenes in the movie. K, i know it's really stupid...but i almost cried T_T, LOL!! XD Well, gimme a break, this is powerful stuff! I love the movie, and i hate when ppl say that geishas r prostitutes >:( No, ppl, their artists, not sex objects. I give this a 5/5 big time!
thought this movie is amazeing and did a pretty good job showing the life of a geisha it kinda misked a geishas life an a Oiran's life togeather geisha do nothing more then preform tradishional japanese dances and sing tradushanal japanese songs and play the shamisen and do some more tradishional japanese things and in no way do they cell there bodys to men unlike Oiran's so i meen the movie was good but it made geisha seem like sluts

didn't like the movie... sorry... there are too many things that don't match with the reality.for example, their HAIR STYLE, the makeup, THE DANCE, (omg i hate that dance. geisha/maiko do not dance like that), the manners. Spielberg should have study geisha's manners, and look, and everything. you can just by watching videos of TRUE geiko on youtube, understand how this movie is not well done.
Western directors often take too many liberties when depicting Asian culture themes. They try to market the film to a largely uneducated audience and those changes try to bridge the gap. The film does capture the spirit and general times of the subject of the film at least. The acting is excellent too, mostly a good film all around.
Spielberg was not the director, it was Rob Marshall, and I have the movie in DVD, they had to hire a real former geisha to learn the customs, the moves and the dances. This dance in particular was added cuz the director wanted to show Sayuri's pain with dancing. Overall, the movie is beautiful, one of my favorites of all time.
Oooohhh...I love that lead girl, ithink her name Zhi Zhang or something, and i also heard she's gonna play the lead role of Disney's live-action MULAN...can't wait if its true...
i've just finished watchin' this flick...it's fookin' awesome!!!! 10 out of 10! the book is much better cos the film is the brief version of the book...whether portrayed by chinese,japanese etc..written by a white american bloke..not in japanese lingua...what's the big deal??the result was fantastic! it's not about insulting another culture race etc..it's all about embracing them, relate to them and understanding them...ONE OF THE BEST FILM EVER!!! beautiful n gorgeous!!!
I agree!!!!! TOTALY!!!! you have my support!!! ^^ this is the BEST MOVIE EVER!! its a lot better then a lot of other books that are made into movies...seriously!!! YAY!! ^^
I really wanna know what the theme of the "snow dance" is called... I wanted to download it from LimeWire, but i just don't know the name of it. Can somebody please help me?
the book gives more details than the movie... but i liked them both... so love Zhang Ziyi!!

Steven Spielberg was not the director, it was Rob Marshall and they did practiced with a former geisha to do the dances and everything else.
Overall, is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's gorgeous.
