"Memoirs of a Geisha" is an old film. I will find it out because I was suddenly interested in Michelle Yeoh some time ago, but what makes me very depressed is that Michelle Yeoh was about halfway through the story. It was an official appearance, but I found out that the protagonist of this movie is Zhang Ziyi.

This is the memoir of a geisha who is not a queen, but a woman in a special period.

The protagonist of the story is called Xiao Chiyo, who was sold to buy a house because of the poverty of the family. It may be very pitiful at this time, because I think any girl does not want to grow up in such an environment, but it seems that she is lucky, because a pair of beautiful Her eyes were kept in the house, while her sister was completely reduced to a prostitute.

But Chiyo was still young at that time, and it was difficult to define her life as "poor" or "lucky", because although she became a prostitute, her sister escaped smoothly, but she didn't.

In Okiwu, little Chiyo was embarrassed by a woman named Hatsomo, but when she grew up, Chiyo didn't hate Hatsomo, because after experiencing love and hate, she finally suddenly realized that Hatsomo became what she is now. Because she once loved and had dreams, but at that time, these were all luxuries, luxuries that a geisha could not have.

Later, under the arrangement of Mr. Chairman, with the help of Chiba, Chiyo changed her name to Sayuri and began to become a real geisha.

But when I just watched this film, I felt that this film had no climax, because the film did not describe the scenery of Xiaobaicheng after becoming a geisha, just Chiba's sentence "You are the most famous geisha now." Then the geisha career ended, War is coming.

Then, I thought the movie would talk about how Sayuri went from a singing and dancing geisha to a great defender of the country, but none of that happened until the end of the war.

After the war, in order to win the investment from the Americans to the Japanese, Sayuri recruited her former friend to play the role of a geisha again. Sayuri is not the strong woman who swore not to be a geisha in order to wait for her sweetheart, nor was she the one who sacrificed herself for the country. She moved forward and retreated at the same time.

At the end of the story, Sayuri is finally with her beloved, and the movie ends.

No climax, no particularly impressive plot, and a two-hour movie ended just like that, simply because she's not a queen, just a woman in a special period.

This movie uses the most plain plot description to describe a group that is very mysterious in people's impressions. After watching it, she is still heartbroken, as if listening to a story about her ups and downs but ordinary life, there is no need for love and hate at this time, Because she is tightly a memoir, a memoir of a geisha...

    Anyway, but this kind of feeling, such a person just doesn't like it, it's unreasonable, it has nothing to do with respect or not, it's just that individuals have personal vision and appreciation. This film is suitable for people who have all things in their eyes and sentient beings in their hearts Come to appreciate it, three stars for Empress Zhang, because she does not lose the momentum and aura of the other two big names, Gong Huang, I always feel that she does not have the feeling of a geisha
