Review of Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) by Vegemonsta — 04 Jul 2013
I honestly believe this movie is terribly underrated. It is very well acted first of all and looks beautiful. This is a great story about the life of an orphaned girl sold by her dying parents to the sex trade.
Then brought up to become a geisha. It is a very moving story and is very much a chick flick but it is far from boring and unsatisfying. If you do not like chick flicks then I would not suggest this to you but I do not like chick flicks usually and I love it still.
If you manage fall asleep watching this film then you should just stick to watching explosions. But if you like movies with great acting and a compelling story then you will likely love this movie. My only gripe with it is that it does sorta feel like it is dragging on forever.
The movie is 145 minutes long so you better be ready for the length. But the story is good enough to grasp my attention for the whole ride.
