i liked the book better
it was good until the ending, which happened too abruptly and not in an artistic or holistic fashion. it left me perplexed because so many things were not taken care of. many of the dialogues were missed because japanese scripts were not represented by subtitles. rent it.
4 stars for this movie. I went into it not knowing what to expect - but I heard the novel was amazing. Incredible to see what the Asian women used to have to go through and to experience this culture for a couple of hours was well worth the cost of admission in itself. I thought the casting was excellent, great acting. And, the Chairman was HOT! :) Thumbs up.
OMYGOSH..I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD BUT IT WAS SO HORRIBLE I CAN`T BELIEVE I WASTED MY TIME WATCHING IT!!!! I FIND IT BORING THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE! I RATHER GO TO SLEEP THEN WATCH THE MOVIE...A BIG THUMBS DOWN FOR THIS MOVIE! DON`T WASTE UR $$$$ PEOPLE.
Amazing movie! I was very very impressed with this one. I wasn`t really sure what to expect since Hollywood has never (extremely rarely anyway) done any justice to any Asian culture, but this movie was phenomenal. I am a huge fan of Asian cinema (Hong Kong and Korea in particular) and although I was put off initially by some of the casting, being already familiar with their work, EVERYONE did an incredible job in their roles. To those who said you could hardly understand what they were saying, I can only shake my head and pity you. Sounds like something someone not particularly "foreign"-friendly would say. Anyway. Two thumbs up!
excellent excellent excellent
Excellent , excellent, excellent 5/5
It was a yawnfest a rental for sure. Not worth the $10.75 for the matinee and I wasted 2.5 hours of my life
Almost as good as the novel...
