It's a lengthy, feminist story that's 2 hours and 25 minutes long. I thought I'd be impatient to watch, but I didn't expect to watch it all the time. I like Sayuri's clean eyes.
Even a movie of more than 2 hours cannot present the details of the novel. In my very vague impression, there are scenes of Chiyo peeking at the play when she was a child, the details about her body when her aunt gave her a bath after she arrived at the house, and the girls tying the bows of the kimonos to her body when she sneaked out through the red light district. In the previous scene, there are also some strange actions of Sayuri and Doctor Weiwei, gauze, towel. There is another general, General Bird Egg? I forgot the name, but he was Sayuri's benefactor (dana?) Then, after the war broke out, Sayuri's details in the factory, especially the hands, were dry and cracked. In the end, Sayuri and the president went to New York together, and they had several children.
I recalled the story structure of the original book along the plot of the movie. Many of the details that impressed me were basically when Sayuri was embarrassed. Those gorgeous and gorgeous are not impressed.
The movie just went through the original book very hastily, leaving no classic scenes. If she insisted on saying it, at most, it was the bridge where Sayuri made a certain cyclist hit the wall with one look on the road. But in the whole story, such a bridge is really insignificant.
I've always thought of Sayuri's story as a feminist story, she was sold to buy a house, she couldn't control her own destiny, she was stubborn, she wanted her own life. Her rebelliousness and innocence in Buy House almost ruined her forever, but after she found her goal, she got up step by step and walked hard, but finally got the happiness she deserved.
God bless those children who work hard.
Say something else.
The background is Japan, and everyone speaks English, which is a little weird. Everyone's accent is a little weird. Moreover, the flirting between the little pumpkin and the Americans is also in English. Just imagine the real situation. The little pumpkin without any education can flirt with the Americans in English and play the game of "truth or lie"?
Why are the main actors in this Japanese geisha story all Chinese? Or are they all Chinese?
When I was in Sayuri, I really felt that Zhang Ziyi was very similar to Gong Li. Zhang Ziyi's facial features were smaller and more delicate than Gong Li's. However, she is very small and flat. Gong Li is a little fat, but more graceful.
I like Sayuri's eyes, and after watching the movie, I was very urge to buy a box of colored films to wear.
