Looking over previous comments here, it is clear that this is a very polarizing film
experience, one that seems to make "Syriana" to shame
in that realm. Director Rob Marshall took a best-selling novel and
was a movie that, apparently, some people love and some hate
. Count me in the first category, but let me
engaged critics, too.
Firstly, it is not a typical Hollywood movie. Despite Western
popular misconceptions about geishas, no sex, violence and hardly
beyond that, there are about two and a half hours of women's problems
that many men can find difficult to relate to. This is not "
Desperate Housewives" or even "All my children. "This is deceit, betrayal and
rivalries as much as it is a girl who was sold into servitude
his impoverished family Japanese. Its also about
lifelong quest for love in a society where it seems people can not simply step
and make frank statements of devotion to each other. This film is
in a word "complicated" and that is going to turn some of americas
film outside assistants.
But not all films from Asia are raving about this movie well, some
thinking is a very superficial look at Japnese customs and other
incense that a film which is a major Japanese tradition
three stars Chinese actresses should. I can not comment on any topic,
because I know little or nothing of Japanese tradition and I do not know why
Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Michelle Yoeh were cast.
Have been seen before by the public americas, but are just movie stars
in this country, so it was not as if they were to get in tons of
fans to their names alone.
The only thing I can think is, the three actresses are good and
widespread evidence that in this movie. If Gong Li does not get better
supporting actress nomination, no justice. Zhang and
should probably get a crack at best actress for her work, too. The three
only illuminate the screen.
But I can understand in this era of political correctness, how some
feel offended by the casting and how others can complain
manipulation of matter Japanese.
All I can say is, the film makers face-offs and is a well
the guidance of his film to a mass audience (and americas, which means a
Generally poorly educated public) or "narrow casting" for his film
people very well familiar with the issue that goes fell swoop down at any
fails. But that when it comes to a topic as Japanese geisha culture,
is a fairly small audience in americas, too small to generate the kind of box office
a movie like this has to throw to pay for itself.
From a purely Anglo, americas, without instruction in Japanese culture standpoint, I think
Marshall made good decisions. I hope he has not slighted
Japanese culture too, but I think he has made a suspenseful, captivating, enchanting
movie that does something a lot of movies have not
in recent years.
gave us a complex central character we can all pull for the
film and why, thank you.
"Memoirs of a Geisha" is among my five best films of the year, hence,
now, and deserves a best picture nomination.
Personally, I do not know what everyone was so anxious about
before seeing this movie. I had heard many compliments on
cinematography and the depth of emotion and history.
who cares if the actors were of a different race? I know that many people will
offense to that, but being an Asian American myself, do not bother me too
since it was not what I thought while watching the film
. who has time to think of different dialects and be someone
Chinese when a beautiful story of the life of a geisha is told.
I thought maybe the film would not live up to the book, but I felt the
adaptation has been done well. although some of the casting
could have been done better, I got chills from mother, angry at hatsumomo, and grew
respect for the character of Mameha, just as I had the book.
the movie did a good job establishing the highly disciplined world
of a Geisha, a world in which many sacrifices have been made.
all in all, the film was fantastic, and if people could only see
beyond the question of worrying about the nationality of a character who is supposed to be
Japanese ( and for me, it's not a big issue)
I am sure you will enjoy the film.
