It is said that the film is not as good as the original work. It’s a pity that I haven’t read the original work, but it made me look at her with a feeling of ignorance. Please forgive me for using her instead of it, because this is originally a woman. world. Delicacy is what I feel about this film, from Chiyo's love for the president, to the details of the eyebrows and faces, all of which reveal the characteristics of women. Although it was inevitable to do things that confuse prostitutes when growing up, it was very difficult for women in that era to do so, and now they all accept the rule of laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes, not to mention at that time because there was no choice.

Personally, I think Zhang Ziyi's performance is pretty good. Although it didn't make me emotionally fluctuated with the plot because of her performance, at least I got rid of some of her "dust" in my impression. It is worth mentioning that although Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh are not the protagonists, they have the connotation of drama in their bones, which is really commendable.

As the saying goes, three women in one play, three Chinese women, speaking English and interpreting Japanese plots, it is difficult to think whether the play looks good or not.

    I really think it's good, although it feels weird for Chinese to play Japanese and speak English, but the overall sense is good. The second half of this film shows that Miss Zhang Ziyi still has acting skills, Michelle Yeoh is not old, and the whole film tells us : Gong Li, you are worthy of the signboard of the first Chinese actress. . . .

    Zhang Ziyi brings Oriental beauty to the extreme.
