"Dirty Mind" Memoirs of a Geisha

Some men, such as the Baron, Dr. Crab, or even Nobu, are only ever thinking about one thing when they're with Geisha - their Mizuage, or becoming their Danna. Sayuri hates this, and tries to reach out for the one man who is different; but has the cruelty crushed her spirit?

OK I'll admit right now this is not my best work. The main problems are the decreasing suitability of the music as it goes on, and the massive impurity of the speech clips. But this is my first time using speech, so please forgive me. =]

This is basically only here because someone asked for it; but I would greatly appreciate comments, and expecially comments on how it could be improved because this really pissed me off when I looked back at the "fruits" of my hours of work.

Music: Dirty Mind by Jeff Beck.

ps. i am aware that the reality of geisha life is very different from both the book, the film, and by extension this video's portrayal of it. this is only an artistic work and not meant as a true comment on geisha or their clients. for a book about the real life of a geisha, i recommend "geisha of gion" by mineko iwasaki.

The man who wrote this book wrote it based on a little teeny bit of what Mineko Iwasaki, Whom he interviewed, told him. Then he published lies. As a retaliation she wrote her own book. "Geisha of Gion" This is the real story...Now, I'm not saying this book wasn't good, and that I didn't like the movie, but all must understand that it is complete fabrication. Just...FYI.

I loved the book, and I really don't think that Nobu only wanted to see Sayuri naked, he really had feellings for her. He was the best one for her, in my opinion. When Sayuri and Mameha gave him the rice cakes he had a weird reactions to it. He was not interested on her Mizuage.

[DaniMajor]

You right. Nobu was truly in love with her.

From what I understand there is a lot of controversy over the book and film Memoirs of a Geisha, but back then mizuage was sold, I believe. Sayo Masuda's mizuage (if I remember correctly) was sold many times, seeing as she faked it, etc. It became illegal to sell Mizuage in 1959, which was after the fictional character Sayuri sold her Mizuage. Even now a Maiko may sell her Mizuage, though she has a choice in this era.

@princessblackeye thank u, i needed that! :) most people do not know this or about the geisha's autobiography, and that infuriates me, if i may. ^^

[DaniMajor]

Yeah I agree. Nobu was really in love with her.

[DannaRoseAguilar]

Great video and song for the matter. Never seen the movie, but still leaves an impression on me. :)

[itzjoeymac]

[itzjoeymac]

Pretty cool that a total stranger would combine my favorite guitarist with one of my favorite movies! VERY COOL!!!!

[princessblackeye]
