"Memoirs of a Geisha", "Geisha"'s "trick" is not "prostitute"'s "prostitute"! I really want to say this, because I myself first walked into this misunderstanding. I have a prejudice against "geisha" and Zhang Ziyi, but I feel that Zhang Ziyi's performance as a geisha is point-to-point and face-to-face, and I hold a cynical attitude. However, I was actually wrong.

This is really a very delicate movie. I watched it when I was reviewing Zhuanying. It is euphemistically called, self-suggestion: practice listening~ At first, I wanted to look down from the height of a passionate young man with noble sentiments Watching this film, only until I am gradually moved by it. If "The Promise" gave me a new view of Xiao Xie, then "Geisha" completely subverted my impression of Zhang MM. In it, she is as pure as a lily and as beautiful as ice jade. A good film can help an actor create a perfect image. The geisha successfully fulfilled its mission.

I was having dinner with my classmates at noon. When talking about this film, a boy said it was difficult to understand why a little girl would fall in love with such a big man because of an ice cream. At that time, I was a little bit broken. It was my favorite scene among geisha. It was like a dream. Maybe every little girl has such a dream. Or when you are lost, you will burn hope because of a kind of fire, or you will remember it in your heart because of a kind of warmth when you are in love. In short, it is the love that is like rain, fog, light and dark, which can make a little girl unable to extricate herself from it. The purest and most genuine, the smile that Xiao Chiyo showed at that moment was really very beautiful.
In that moment, I changed from a girl facing nothing but emptiness to some one with purpose.

Sayuri has a dramatic and tragic life, and finally she was able to sublimate just because she got the happiness she wanted, if life is just as first seen... Hehe , Maybe this boy really hasn't understood this kind of psychological defect of girls, otherwise he should be at ease. Most women are moved by the details, even if only for a moment.
It can be seen that Zhang MM has done a lot of homework for this film, which is vivid, including the legend that her poor English is also spoken unexpectedly, subtle and sweet. Of course, Gong Li and Yang Ziqiong are also in their respective positions, it seems that the roles are tailor-made for them. As the Japanese culture that this film is about to express, I don't want to say too much, but if we take Asian culture as the premise, maybe our tolerance will appear a little more kind.
Ah, really like it.
