    Zang Ziyi is soo beautiful but I want to see a Japanese protray the role of the Geisha
  • October 1, 2009
    I feel lazy for not reading the book first. I really did enjoy this film but I do wish it had been a Japanese production. It was a bit too westernised for my liking. That said, the cinematography and the acting are fantastic!

    Memoirs of a Geisha is like a beautiful painting. The scenery, settings and costumes all were created to become a wonderful piece of art in cinematography. The casts did a great job, although I think that Gong Li definitely outshines Zhang Ziyi in her acting :)
  • September 22, 2009
    Watching this film is like looking at a wonderful painting, and following every shadow and line. I found this movie to be a huge bummer up until the last five minutes where you learn the truth of the story and you realize that she accomplished what she always wanted. The cinemato...( read more)graphy alone warrants a good rating, but to be honest I actually liked this movie it was rather enjoyable.

  • August 30, 2009
    I was impressed by the cinematography ...but in the end, the glory of the visuals only made me more discontent that the adaption did not match it. The surprising fact that the film was largely shot in Hollywood could be seen as a plus, except that it probably reveals more than in...( read more)tended.

All the while being the most sought after geisha in her country. The trials he puts her through only to find...( read more) that he always had the key to her heart.

    To Be a Geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art, Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances. She Sings. She entertains you. Whatever you want. The rest is shadows; I liked her dance the scenery in the last scene
