Why is so okay for American actors to act as British, French, or other Europeans. When Nicole Kidman won the Oscar for her role in "The Hours", I didn`t see anybody complaining that an Aussie was cast for Virginia Woolf (a British)`s role!! There are also many Canadians actors who acts as Americans, British, etc. Did anybody cry about that??? I don`t think so! Therefore, people who complains about why this movie had three Chinese actress in it should get over with it. The reason the director chosed Ziyi maybe because she was in many well known movies (like, "Rush Hours 2", "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers".) T

Amazing movie. I saw King Kong yesterday and Memoirs Of A Geisha blew it out of the water. Sorry Peter Jackson. Memoirs is just a stunningly well done film.

Anyway, the film is remarkable, from start to finish. Two thumbs up!

The movie use Chinese to play main characters simply because there is no world famous Japanese female actress who can act. What a pity!

A beautiful portrayal of human nature, kindness, hatred and love. I read the book and felt the movie was magnificently done. It was a feast for the senses, dazzling to the eye and warming to the soul.
