I enjoyed watching Memoirs of the Geisha , You feel that your glimpsing into a hidden world where an average people isn’t allowed into , Kind of like looking into the world of famous untouchable people , into their more intimate human lives.

Most of the Japanese Films I see are from the horror genre and most of them are good , from what I saw I think the Japanese films are more direct while Hollywood films are more dramatic.

I would say it was a good movie but book was better

It’s a good film but I agree with it being an inaccurate potrayal of Japanese Geishas.

Evidently, as is typical, the book is better. Why? Because the book doesn’t need to keep your attention without a break like a feature-length film does. So the book version of this can go into exquisite detail about the processes of becoming geisha, while the film adaptation needs to trim some of that to make the movie shorter.

Your review is apt, and the book is better, but it really doesn’t matter in determining the quality of the movie.

I just picked up “Geisha” from my local library. One of my good friends told me about it, her name is Heidi. Can’t wait to watch it.

The “stars” images are the result of a custom plugin that will probably be incorporated into the WP Movie Ratings at some point in the future (alongside with the custom background). It’s pointless now to release it separately as it’s quite messy code…

Are you using a plugin for your review posts? I just found your WP Movie Ratings plugin, and I’ll probably be using it, but I’d like a plugin to create movie review posts. I was using RumMovie plugin, but it broke when I upgraded to WP2.0.

Your reviews look very sharp, and I like the inclusion of the star rating at the bottom.

Memoirsof A geisha movie was not half as good as the book… it didnt capture the beauty and feelings of Sayuri as the book. I just thought a lot more could have been done with a book that i have loved for years

That’s a good argument also. Overally, I do enjoy japanese cinema too, it’s just that latelty I’ve seen one too many boring movie coming from that part of our world, so I’m a little bit bitter on that particular topic.
