Memoirs of a Geisha
I went to see "Memoirs a Geisha", which was really very very good. It was amazing in so many aspects. I just liked the story and the characters...and the setting...Kyoto...such a nice city.
It basically shows Japanese culture, the Geisha, the artists and dancers of old Japan, the ones who "sell their skills, not their bodies". It shows how life was for them before World War II, then after the war, how the culture had changed because of the influence of the American soldiers in Japan..totally changed the meaning of what it was to be a Geisha...the Americans see a Geisha as a high-class whore basically.
I kinda like the view of the movie...it showed that Kyoto was a much better place before the americans came to disturb it. We ruin so many cultures when we stick our nose into a country...
Its definitly a must-see movie...I recommend it highly.
Its a good 2 and a half hour movie...but it never lost my attention.
BTW, I come back 2morrow night...much love all.
