Terrible cast
It was great! Awesome!! We loved it!!! Although, it was based on a novel, NOT historical facts; it was well portrayed.The lead actresses were of Chinese origin; but, they are mega stars themselves in Asia!! What an honour to have them there!! Did U know...these events also happend in China during the WW-2?...these events unfolded between the 2 nations at the same time? and, lastly, the Japanese culture came directly from the Chinese over 2300 years ago? Enjoy this movie !!!
To all those who objected to casting Chinese actresses in leading rolds: First of all, the book upon which the movie was based on was a novel, not a non-fiction biography; secondly, the book was written by a White North American professor; on top of all these, it was a hollywood movie. So, while, the movie was not of Japanese history, not written by Japanese, not film nor directed by Japanese. I personally do not see why non-Japanses actresses could not be in the leading roles. A little extra note, author decribed the physical appearance of the main charactor as a fair skinned Japanese girl with blue grayish eyes. We all know the fact well t
I had more enjoyment watching Teenwolf 2
actually, of the 3 main actors, one is Japanese, one is Chinese, and one is Malaysian ... and anyways does it mean that because the actor who plays the lead role is chinese she cannot portray the life of a japanese? It`s called acting for a reason.
The movie was a sad but truthful look at a women in a society where powers is but a mans, the actress portayedherself very well, believeable and made the story a romantic but yet harsh reality. ravo and as it lacks the bells and whiltes and car chases that most seem to be addited to it has spirt and a story line that makes it a great movie to actually listen too.

fine movie
they all had chinese accents for goodness sake or is this not important.
I loved the book! I can`t wait to see this movie :)
I MUST AGREE with the people that did not think the movie was authentic. FIRST off, they did not cast any JAPANESE actresses. THE BOOK DESERVE MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. simply put: no justice was brought to the book by watching the movie...not at all.
