Memoirs of Geisha - discuss here

I watched it this weekend. I did not enjoy it that much. I mean the costumes are very pretty, but the story wasnt too interesting. I know it happens, but the old man are pretty creepy in the movie. Also Gong Li was very pretty but she looked high and drunk most of the time and I cant beleive that she only learned enough English for the movie, it could have fooled me. Did anyone else see it?

 

I really want to see it, it's not ou in th uk until jan (16th)!!! got a long wait!

 

I'm gonna go watch it soon, get back toyou when i do

 

I will be watching this soon too...but I think I may download it instead of wasting $10 at the theatres....

 

i like the movie, never read the book and im not against the chinese/japanese thing. The story was good enough for me to give it thumbs up. It wasn't boring but etertaining to say the least. There was something missing the in story though. It seemed to breeze by very quickly without a heart in the movie. But i liked it overall

 

i saw it several days ago. it was alright, my dad liked it waay more than me. I'm not against the chinese/japanese thing either, but I do kind of wish the movie had been made with japanese actors in the japanese language, that would have made it more realistic for me. I loved the actors though, some of my favorites, and I loved all of the color it used, overall it was just a beautiful movie. What really bothered me was some of the dialogue. And Pumpkin. She just got waay over americanized very quick, it felt awkward watching her on the screen. I dont know.
But that little girl was sooo adorable!! I loved her! And good ending, yay.

 

i find this movie disturbing...but the main female actress is hot =]

 

i watched this last nite, didn't any of u think it was a bit paedophilic? like a old man buying ice for this little girl and fallin for her?!

 

currently i'm reading this book in Dutch...
Kinda funny... but right now i'm on page 46 still 518 pages to go
after that memoirs of a geisha will be in stores
then i don't have to go to the cinema

 

it was okay
i had read the book before and the movie kind of disappointed me
it didn't have the mood of the story

 

I really want to watch it but i have to wait untill it's March because then it will be out in Holland.. =(

 

i m so happy that is a chinese actress doing the main role of the movie Memories of Geisha, i love you zhang ziyi, kiss to u

 

Zhang Ziyi, she is very beautifull

 

The scenery and everything was so beautiful.. the kiminos were very nice! But yea, I gotta admit, the movie didn't have that same feel as the book. I would really recommend reading the book for those who watched the movie first. You totally get a different "feel" from it.

One thing that confused me a lot.. was how ALL the actors spoke english. By the time the Americans came along.. they were ALL speaking english. To me, that was super weird.

 

hahahahaha -clapclap

 

i didnt really enjoy it at all

 

Boring movie.

 

I haven't see the movie but i read the book!
The book was fantastic...but normaly the book is always more interesting than movie!
When i see it i'll get back to you!

 

never read the book before but heard that it's really different from the movie in that it doesnt have as much of a focus on the historical setting

saw the movie a while ago and thought it was pretty decent. kinda disappointed at the character/relationship development but good nonetheless
