"Memoirs of a Geisha"

Last sunday I hung out with my friend, and then bought one DVD of movie in China town, which was just only 2 bucks...
Of course I recognize that is an illegal copied thing, and the English subtitle was completely wrong, maybe another movie's was used incorrectly haha...

That's what I really wanted to watch, which was "Memoirs of a Geisha" !!

And then we enjoyed to watch it in my room.

It was pretty fun in various meanings.

First of all,one Japanese actress, who was supporting role as the owner of the Geisha house, incredibly impressed me.

Her name is Momoi Kaori, who is very famous particularly about her outstanding skill of performance.

Her way of speaking English, such as very Japanese accent, and very "okami"(the meaning here is the owner of the Geisha house ) -like intonation would also be helpful to show her role more mean and then make the story have more reality.

Anyway the scene I was extremely surprised about was...

that she checked whether the geisya, who was the most popular in her shop at that time, had had sex secretly with the geisya's lover or not, by putting her finger from the hem of the geisya's kimono into the geisya's secret place (pussy...haha) silently and quickly...

Next, I felt really interested about that my friend talked about the geisyas's way of make-up, decoration of their hairs, kimono, and so on.

Actually he is the half between Japanese and French, and I guess his background is affected by Western culture more than Japanese's. (he cannot speak Japanese though can speak both of English and French)

But he seemed to know more about Japanese these things than me...



ummmh, this movie's title in Japan is "SAYURI" which is the name of main role,
but the original title in English is "Memoirs of a Geisha".

Needless to say the story describes about Japan, but actually I felt the beauty of "the Orient" including "China" more than "Japan" about the whole of the story.

I guess, however, it was what the director "Stephen Spielberg" wanted to describe...

Finally I want to introduce the deeply emotional scene from YOU TUBE...
