Memoirs of a Geisha

Has anybody watched this movie yet? I read the book earlier this year and was quite looking forward to watching the movie. They did a really good job, although I don’t think the lead actress deserves an award for her acting. They only made minor changes and did leave out some parts, but I guess that was to be expected.

Who has seen it? What did you think?

I was just about to open a thread..
I haven't seen it but I think I wanna read the book first.

Sounds really ineteresting. :)

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I have been wiating for someone to see it first :D Munni was going to see it once upon a time, dunno if she ever went or not.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I will probably see it this coming weekend. cant wait !

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I loved the book and the movie although not as good was done quite well. I say go watch it if you haven't already.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I watched it last weekend, and I think it does do some justice to the book, books are always better, but the way they made it is really good. its definately worth watching :)

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

uff can't wait to see it. Although, I'm finding it is much cheaper to wait till holiday sales to get the DVD for like 10 bucks or less. Cheaper than a whole family going to see it in the theatre.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I want to read the book first...

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I saw it guys. It was fantastic ! Starts off a bit slow but half way through the story really catches on..
Ziyi Zhang and Ken Watanabe’s acting was just fantastic. By the way, he’s gorgeous ! :love:

Both acted beautifully. Music and cinematography was wonderful.

2 thumbs up !!! :k: :k:

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

^^PCG and others who are waiting to go...definitely watch it in cinema. Its worth the 9 bucks !

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I've read the book like 3 times so will definitely watch the movie ... although it should have been in Japanese, not English, and they used a Chinese actress for the lead role.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

Won’t be seeing it for awhile. uffh Tell me what you thought of it though, when you see it.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

Agreed. The movie was great and worth the nine bucks.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

Ken Wattanabe is a superb actor. He made Tom Cruise look like a newbie in Last Samurai.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

I hate when there is a good book - and a good movie comes out for it.
I am not reading Da Vinci Code (read first chapter - v.catchy, easy read and intresting) - because Tom Hank is coming out in this movie next year.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

Although the movie comes nowhere near the book I did enjoy watching it. Mainly because it was so much fun having real faces with the names. I loved all the leading ladies (Mameha, Hatsumumo and Sayuri). Book is way more detailed and exiting, and they did change the storyline here and there in the movie.
Definitely a must watch :k:

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

The movie was nothing compared to the book, I could not put it down. I felt the movie lacked a lot of emotions and the lead actress was not that good.

The Chairman :love:

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha

Ken Watanabe :love:

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
