not for the butch, not for the chic, but for those who appreciate art all senses of the word: great visuals, soundtrack, story, and overall delivery. classical style in movies.. if you're into action, and things blowing up every few minutes, or another "walk to remember" and ot...( read more)
What a beautiful movie. And such an amazing story. On of the best movies I've ever seen.
The book was amazing. The movie was beautiful, though as one would expect, they didn't include every detail from the book.
A heart wrenching film that gives an excellent view of the other side of the coin.
This movie was great. It's the story of a blue eyed girl who grows up to be a geisha during war time. She and her sister are sold to different geisha schools and live under very strict conditions. They spend most of their time trying to find ways to find each other again. This is...( read more)

Zang Ziyi is soo beautiful but I want to see a Japanese protray the role of the Geisha
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!
Excellent. Book is even better if you can imagine it. Great movie. Well done.
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 :)
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)

Great movie, saw it in English class. Well done got to see more about a culture i knew nothing about
I wish that Geisha had remembered a little less. Movie was loooong. Enjoyed the cultural info. Beautifully shot.
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)
I liked this film, after reading the book i watched the film and it stuck to it. I mainly liked the costuming and detail though.
Beautifully made. Seductively shot. Riveting characters. The story of a girl who falls in love with a man as a child and keeps that love strong until she becomes an adult. All the while being the most sought after geisha in her country. The trials he puts her through only to find...( read more)
tru story i very much enjoyed this story very slow though and not many people like reading subys but this was a very beautiful movie
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
One of my best friends live in Tokyo. Nice to see other cultures portrayed in cinema.
