Review of Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) by David F — 03 Mar 2017
Beautiful cinematography with an interesting story. Though it is not completely factual, I do not condone the author of the book or the movie director for taking certain creative liberties. Many people make the mistake that because it is one of the few movies out there about geishas, they think everything should be nonfiction about it.
And despite the movie taking a few liberties about the actual culture, there is much they got right. Those wanting to see it for educational purposes also have to keep in mind that because the actual world of professional geishas are so closed off, there is not much information out there about it.
All in all, I thought it was a beautiful, entertaining movie that shares a bit on a culture that is mostly closed off to the world.
