The film is great, I really loved it - but I see so many errors here - the makup, hairstyles and how she wears kimono. It's too much europeanised, if I may say.
actually yes, my high school teacher was in japan for 3 years teaching english to elementary school kids, and she took lots of pictures with this little girl with gray/blue eyes, and she was full japanese!
No no no no hunny. You dont need to have a light complexion or be an albino to have blue eyes its just in your genes weather you had it from your fathers or mothers genes.
i knew i mate of mine whos his mother a filipina and her father is british and she got hazel eyes got it from her dad.
Mizuage is when an Apprentice Geisha sells her 'cave' to a man's 'eel' as it's described in the book. Basically, It's when she sells her virginity to the highest bidder
Sayuri has to cut her leg to go to see the doctor. The whole point is so the doctor gains an iterest in her, have you noticed how high the cut is up her leg? And the way Mameha looks at the sweat on his forehead while he's examining her? it's to make sure he's interested in her Mizuage.
lunadarkness13 lol .... i wonder why they couldnt have found a one armed man? how hard can it be. but harrison ford has also been known to search with difficulty for a one armed man... i do know where they could have found a man with no arms and no legs: exactly where they left him!!!
Chiyo should've slapped her ass right back. That Hotsumomo is not that strong and I could take her on. Gone come up in that young girl's room and slapping somebody. Chiyo can destroy her and Pumpkin first while she talking.
my god they're so white. the paint is a little over the top, but i guess that is considered beautiful. they all are beautiful of course no doubt about that but why so much white paint? where did that come from originally?
para mi(no quiero ofender a nadie)los japoneces y chinos son todos iguales,con la diferencia de que los chinos saben kung fu y los japoneces saben usar la katana(no se como se escribe)
Yes, I totally agree. Nobu could have had only one arm if they tried harder! Small details like that from the book make the movie version so much better.
ugh. would people stop bitching about how there are differences between the book and movie? this film is beautiful! so what if the character has one arm in the book?
it says its BASED on the novel, not an exact adaption. christ.
when the "mother" says, it is a very special time in her life, she means that the bidding for her virginity is up soon and she wanted to cut her leg a little so the doctor would be interested in that bit of information.
yes... but in the book mameha is younger than hatsumomo... maybe in the film the director wanted to change her... but i love mameha ^^ she's so kind!!
I think so too. I saw the movie first, then I read the book and I feel that they are both equally good. Even there really is some parts missing from the movie...But still =)
mizuage's always a tough subject haha.. i always connected the whole rice cake gift with pureness; look at what happens in sumo..the wrestlers throw in either rice or salt to purify the ring to have a clean match. the way i see it is that the rice cake is a big sign saying: My Virginity Is As Pure As This Rice!! Bid For Me!!! lol =P
