talk nonsense

Overall, watching a film like this reminds one of America. Yes, this is originally an American movie, although it has familiar Chinese faces and costumes from neighboring countries.
It may be that there is no research or interest at all. Although there are many gorgeous kimonos in it, and the price of kimonos is actually very high, but I just don't remember one, it's not like Maggie Cheung at all. The cheongsams in "In the Mood for Love". I am a blind anti-Japanese.
The development of the plot should be said to be bland, vulgarly speaking, it is a story of the struggle of a geisha. What can't be ignored is that a middle-aged man played an extremely important role in it - he became the bright color and goal in her life.
The resulting story, how moving it is a bit difficult to be strong, fortunately, the performance of the three actresses is extremely good, I have to mention Gong Li, who looks a little dim under the light of the protagonist. She played the role of an old geisha who was sizzling. Especially the arson one. Because of love, so hate; because of hate, so unscrupulous. She regards the Geisha House as her home, but unfortunately the Geisha House is not ready to accommodate her. What a fire burns is the love and hatred of a lifetime.
In contrast, Zhang Ziyi's performance does not seem to be as good as that of the little girl in her childhood. At that bridgehead, I came across a stylish and stylish middle-aged man. The man with a well-dressed man was the one who invited her to eat cakes. He also used a geisha with great manners to encourage her to train herself to be better! Therefore, the watery eyes are full of admiration for men and longing for the life of a geisha in the future. Oh - so romantic.
Unexpectedly, the ending turned out to be so perfect, so I feel a little regretful.

    "Memoirs of a Geisha", a literary film. The film tells the life of a geisha and enables a certain kind of female culture that was popular in 14th century Japan. In Japan, "geisha" is a kind of escort industry that only sells art but not body. Because the word "prostitute" always reminds people of sex, it is changed to skill. There are two kinds of art they sell, one is the art of talent and color, and the other is the art of life. They began to learn dance, calligraphy, and qinpa from a young age. Behavior, gentle character, and beautiful appearance are the colors. Life is to show upbringing, etiquette, language ability, service ability. They are usually the accomplices of the upper class, political arena, and business tables, so their social status is not low. There are only less than 200 geisha in Japan now, because each geisha has to study for more than 6 years to become a skill, and the traditional tempering and strict rules make most women discouraged. Speaking of this movie, it's generally okay, the three heroines are all Chinese, maybe because Chinese women have a kind of charm in their bones, but the best acting is Chiyo, her smile can really light up this world.

    Beautifully shot, although the story is a bit loose. Also, seeing Ziyi so weak is always a bit playful, and I always feel that she is stubborn and strong.

Memoirs of a Geisha quotes

  • Mameha: [about the Baron losing the bidding] No man would bid so much for a thing he had already taken.

  • Nobu: [to Sayuri, during the sumo match] Three things matter in life: sumo, business, and war. Understand one, you know them all. But why should a geisha care? You spend your time plucking strings and dancing.
