A blooming epiphany is forgotten by time, and a pure lily stands in the flashy desolation...

A legendary story will always have a humble beginning.

Sayuri’s story begins like this:

"Once, when I was a little girl, on the shore of Sunagawa, a very kind and handsome stranger bought me a cup of sweet ice..."

Sayuri ate it With the bright sweet ice, from this moment on, Sayuri moved in a man in her ignorant heart. Her life was on a trajectory that was destined in the future. This trajectory is fast, dazzling, and has no end in sight. .......

She became a geisha, her eyes are like a pool of deep water, she hides her face behind the painted face, she dances, she sings, she can bring anyone close Her man brought endless fantasies, she rested in the shadows, silently, but her heart was also dying gradually, dying bit by bit, hope falling like leaves... of the

story ending?

"You can't tell the sun to shine more, and you can't tell the rain to stop falling. For men, a geisha can only be half a wife. We become wives when the night falls, and learn from so much meanness. Kindness. A little girl with extraordinary courage beyond her self-knowledge, is able to turn her prayers into reality. Isn’t it a kind of happiness to know that such a thing? After all, this is not a memoir of a queen or a queen, but another One kind.

As director Marshall has constantly emphasized, this is just an emotional story. It has nothing to do with history or national system, only Guan Fengyue.

It is said that the divorce rate in Beijing has exceeded the marriage rate since a few years ago. In the past, we always laughed at the West. People treat marriage sloppily, and Western-style marriage seems to us lack of responsibility. In Hollywood where this movie was produced, it is common for stars to exchange vows in front of priests three or four times. . "I want her (he) to become my wife (husband). Starting today, we will have and support each other. Whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, disease or health, I will love and cherish each other. Until death can we be separated. "In the future, I doubt whether there is still a priest who is moved by the person involved?

Since I met the guy on the train who was four years older than me and had been married four times, I started to have some new ideas about marriage: yes, some people marry frequently for sloppy or nasty purposes. But there are also many people. Every time they get married, their feelings for each other are extremely sincere and unquestionable. At that time, they were all loyal to each other. However, unfortunately, sometimes, in the words of the Bull Devil: The relationship is broken. Therefore, for each other's happiness, in order to give each other a possibility to find another true love in the future, divorce is compelled to regret the choice. I believe Duan Zhengchun's feelings for each of his wives are true.

In this movie, what is presented is another situation, Sayuri's loyalty to love. Starting from that cup of sweet ice, everything she did for the rest of her life was to get close to the handsome man in her heart. In fact, before the end of the story, Xiaobaihe saw the man only a few times, but she was so steadfastly loyal to her inner feelings. It can even be said that her whole life was only a few minutes of encounters on the bridge. This is the situation of a typical oriental. The inexplicable moment between the sparks and the sparks can make her endure troublesome marriages, endless trivialities, lost feelings, and unbalanced responsibilities. Sayuri's loyalty created her forbearance, and her courage brought her tragedy. She had to face many unexpected difficulties and humiliations. Is it worth it? Put your whole life on a few minutes?

Emotion is an incredible thing, and the power it inspires in Sayuri is no less than that of a miniature nuclear power plant. There are similar scenarios in other places:

Dr. Banting, who discovered insulin, was born in a Canadian farm and had a close friend named Jenny when he was young. He played ball, climbed trees, skated, and raced with him. One summer, Jenny suddenly couldn't play with him. Her "sugar in blood" is so great. Banting was always upset. Later he learned to practice medicine and determined to help others. Because of his affection for her, millions of diabetic patients can survive today.

Pascal's little niece came into contact with what is said to be the relic on the crown of Jesus, and the eye disease healed. This led him to study the problem of miracles, and then decided to write a work that defended the religion of Christ, the "Apology". This is also the beginning of "Mind Records".

Gibran said: "Limited love requires possession of each other, while infinite love requires only love itself."

But how much love is infinite? Infinity and finite only represent length, not that which one is more noble. Perseverance is a kind of loyalty and perseverance worthy of respect, but sometimes, persistence means denying the opportunities in the unknown future, which may be a greater loss.

    The role of Sayuri is best to be soft and firm, usually innocent and brilliant, and heroic and decisive when making choices. Zhang Ziyi's toughness is written on her face. She is very good in playing Manqing Gege. She is originally a horse-riding nation, and she is not soft enough to play a Japanese geisha. So far, there is only one way for her to play Ruan Nuo, which is to add bangs, and the effect is disastrous.

    The movie is a good movie, but I don't think the actor's border issue should involve the movie itself

Memoirs of a Geisha quotes

  • Colonel Derricks: [stops Sayuri as she is exiting the hot spring] So, what is the protocol?

    Sayuri Nitta: Excuse me?

    Colonel Derricks: Suppose I wanted to see you in private.

    Sayuri Nitta: I beg your pardon, colonel, but that is not a geisha's custom.

    Colonel Derricks: [rubs Sayuri's shoulder] Don't be coy. I mean, if it's a matter of price, I'm sure...

    Sayuri Nitta: If there were a price, you could never afford it.

    [exits spring]

  • Nobu: [to Sayuri] Can't you see that I want you for myself? You have ruined me! Before we met I was a disciplined man.
