Memoirs Of A Geisha




















Loved the book; Disappointed by the movie.

Could the producers really not find any Japanese or Japanese American women to play these roles? And as beautiful as these Chinese actresses are, could they be any more Eurasian looking?

Things I loved about the movie:
- Beautiful cinematography
- Colors and moods
- Fabrics
- The sensuousness of the women


Things I hated about the movie:
-
White frat boys version of Asian women
- Spiteful women and “catfights”
- Did it really have to have a Hollywood ending?

I loved Chicago – but the director was not able to pull me into this story.
