    Simply awful, too long and a total bore! Where was the storyline? We have a 9 year old girl sold to a geisha house and she is eventually trained to become a well known geisha... A sub plot to say the least not a story that can fill 2 + hours! This film musters a 2, Just!

    It seemed like it was four freaking hours. It took FOREVER to end. It just never caught my attention. A visual FEAST though.

    Beautiful, touching, sad, enchanting all rolled into one this movie has me coming back to watch it time and time again as I see a young girl's life unfold before my eyes as she grows into a beautiful young woman.

    A fantastic movie, who would have thought a man could pen a novel such as this?

    Even though the female leads are all played by Chinese actresses, you don't care and the film is very good.

    They could have put more bits from the book to make it a bit more interesting instead of skipping around to only the mail ideas of the movie, but the Geisha and the movie was indeed beautiful though.

    Culteral,dramatic,interesting,beautiful depictions, indepth emotional parts. This movie was balanced. It helped me understand the geisha and as well understand women in a chinese culture. I liked this movie although it was long. But long is good because atleast the movie was not crammed. I would say it is for 13+. It isn't for everyone but I found it entertaining.

    Ok, when I first saw this movie, I was really drawn in by it's beauty. However, I have educated myself, and I now know how truly inaccurate both this movie and the book it is based on really true. If you REALLY want to learn about geisha, read "Geisha, A Life" by Mineko Iwasaki. She is the woman that the book by Arthur Golden is 'based on', and the one who wrote her own book because the book he wrote is inaccurate. She was actually a geisha, and so I trust her more than him. Basically, the film is something that is pretty to look at, but not take seriously. It's just too fictional.
