"Memoirs of a Geisha" shows a whole new world, ancient Kyoto, and unique humanities. No matter whether writers and directors in Europe and the United States can create their creations completely faithful to the actual situation, for me, they have been completely obsessed by those bustling streets, hanging Fish-shaped ornaments, dazzling geisha performances and grand parties under the sakura trees.
The story uses Sayuri's growth experience, from the struggle between three women to the love for a man, all revealing the general living conditions of the geisha group. Dramatic story development, intense conflicts, and looming diverse emotions enrich the film's plot and make it seem empty.
I think geisha are sympathetic, no matter what disgusting things they do, but first of all they are a poor bunch of people. Do they have a relationship? Sayuri and her sister were betrayed by a poor family and became geisha. When the deal was reached, the family relationship had already fallen. Do they have friendship? One minute ago, Little Pumpkin was still happy for Chiyoko for her chance to become a geisha, and said that she would help her study; the next minute, Hatsuma slapped her face in the face, and she dared not speak again, and she became a rival from now on. Are they in love? Men may be impressed by her talent, but no one can tell how long this kind of love can last. In this way, they have almost nothing, and what hides behind the gorgeous kimono, white face and red lips is just an unknown miserable soul.
