Memoirs of a Geisha

Really now... Memoirs of a Geisha is made into a movie with a couple Chinese actors placed into main roles. I wonder ... does Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi know Japanese? Zhang Ziyi is placed into the main lead as Nitta Sayuri, and Michelle Yeoh is Mameha O.O; Yeoh is... ... o.l.d. -.-; Well, I guess Mameha is kinda that way too... =.=;  Gong Li as Hatsumomo???  True, she's a very beautiful and versatile actress... but... =.=; she's old too.  I always imagined Mameha and Hatsumomo younger... I guess... oh wellz.  Anywayz, why are there are basically top Chinese/HK/Taiwanese actresses in Japanese roles?  Well, as long as they can speak the dialect, I'm fine with it.  Oh wait.. it's an English movie, neber mind then lol ^^;  I have no problem with chn actresses/actors playing jpn, or jpn playing chn, just like I don't care whether the guy who plays an italian in some movie is actually irish; it's just more like "Are they going to be able to do it well?" that worries me.  Oh wellz, I'll probably still enjoy the movie regardless when it comes out ^^  I'm a big fan of that book, and I luv Gong Li anyway.. but her as Hatsumomo... hm... =.=; it's not piecing together for me.  Oh, but Ken Watanabe~ mmm I like him~! ^,^  For some reason, I picture Koyuki - Taka from Last Samurai, and that annoying reporter from Antique Bakery drama - as maybe Sayuri or Mameha.  At least, that's how I see it.  Oh wellz, Gong Li's really pretty T,T  Wow, she really doesn't look... old in the movie O.O; the beauty of make-up, I guess.

Anywayz, I just bought a new movie 2046 with Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong, and so many more~  I'm a sucker for anything Tony Leung ^^;  I want it to send now~  I wanna watch it T,T
