Memoirs of a Geisha

[Shane Martin]

The director of Chicago brings us the tale of a young girl who is sold to a geisha house and her rise to become the #1 Geisha in Japan. The movie is visually jaw dropping and the music is something else but the movie lacks substance. It'll move at a snails pace for most folks and to be honest leaves you with a feeling of "what next?".

Recommended for a rental only. :2: out of :5:

One note: the actresses in the movie are chinese so some folks might care about this since this is a Japanese movie but it didn't bother me.

My wife really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was good and I was never bored with it. The main actress Zhang Ziyi got a lot of flak for this movie being Chinese. I though she did a great job and is very talented. As well as amazing martial artist. It was very well done.

I'll probably rent it for my wife and pass on it myself.

I went to see it in a 2$ theatre 2 weeks ago with my GF...

I was impressed with visual and music...the movie itself was also quite good...

I agree :T Jazz and I finally watched it lastnight. Great story, great acting, beautifully shot and transferred, great sounding... Not really anything bad to say about it. I suppose some might find the pace a bit slow but it's not supposed to be an action movie :lol: I normally quite enjoy period pieces/stories that unravel slowly etc and this was a great example :T

Jazz was also quite impressed at how well they folowed the book too.

I thought my wife would be interested in this one but she wasn't so I'm gonna pass.
