A wonderful movie of a great novel! Ziyi Zhang is beautiful and performs well the role of a geisha. It`s not a Japanese production of a historical drama. So let`s drop our bias and simply enjoy the movie. Afterall, entertainment is what Hollywood provides!
The movie is simply `stunning`! Congratulations to the 3 mega Chinese actresses, who are recepients of their Asian version of the Oscars, and the Hollywood producers for such a `masterpiece`! And, for those who complained about Chinese actresses should NOT have been chosen to act their roles, should just ENJOY the movie and its contents!!FYI...both Japanese+Korean cultures & their bloodline originated directly from the Chinese long long ago. Go and take an Asian history course to verify this.
Best movie of the year. Hands down.
It was a wonderful movie. Not since Shogun have I seen such a movie. Very Touching
I am not that old so it was sort of too romantic for me but over all i learned alot about their culture. the costumes were FAB
UGH!What a disappointment! This movie lacks so many good details that are found in the novel version. What`s worse, the hairstyles and make up are not historically accurate. The producer has incorporated modern artistic ideas into this movie, which is insulting. why can`t hollywood just leave japanese culture the way it is?
A beautiful movie.
I LOVED IT =)
It offers both a concrete factual view of the Geisha, as well as an objective stance. The film is as enchanting as the novel, I highly recommend!
Ziyi Zhang is beautiful...... Simply Beautiful...!!!!
