Review of Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) by David J — 08 Dec 2014
"These are not the memoirs of an empress, nor of a queen. These are memoirs of another kind." And - I must say - how fascinating kind!
I really recommend being touched by the story of Sayuri, a child who is sold by her father to become a geisha. During the process, it's shown the trajectory of a girl who had to be brave enough to face a rigid destiny planned for her by other people.
Perhaps the most interesting about watching this movie is taking a look at a new culture - the Japanese -, especially at geishas. There is a stunning atmosphere that involves the story. I would like to mention also the performances as one other positive aspect. The photography and the music are very beautiful, too.
I recommend it for anyone who is interested not only in having fun with a movie, but also in using it as a cultural stepping stone.
