You can't ask the sun to give you more sunshine, and you can't ask the rain to give you more rain. For a man, a geisha can only be half of your wife. We are the wives of the twilight years, but after experiencing countless misfortunes Afterwards, scholars go to experience the feeling of happiness, to experience the unimaginable courage possessed by that little girl, and to find that her dream has finally come true. Isn't it the greatest joy? These are not the Queen's, nor the Queen's memoirs, these are the memories of another person.

You know, every step I've taken, since I met you on the bridge when I was a kid, was to be able to get closer to you...

    I really think it's good, although it feels weird for Chinese to play Japanese and speak English, but the overall sense is good. The second half of this film shows that Miss Zhang Ziyi still has acting skills, Michelle Yeoh is not old, and the whole film tells us : Gong Li, you are worthy of the signboard of the first Chinese actress. . . .

    Zhang Ziyi brings Oriental beauty to the extreme.

Memoirs of a Geisha quotes

  • Hatsumomo: [entertaining at the teahouse] Sayuri. A name as sweet as she is. I'm afraid these days even the common chambermaid can call herself a geisha. So, it's nice to see such a sincere young maiko, isn't it?

    Mameha: [to Sayuri] Surely you would like to thank Hatsumomo for her gracious compliments.

    Sayuri Nitta: [serving tea] There is so much I would like to say to Hatsumomo.

    Hatsumomo: [laughing] Sometimes the smartest remark is silence

    Sayuri Nitta: What better advise to follow than your own.

  • Mameha: [to Chiyo] Your cave is untouched. Men like that. We call this "mizuage". And to become a full geisha, you must sell it to the highest bidder.
