In fact, about the old age, everyone has a dream. A dream is also depicted in the movie.
Cherry blossoms and red maples, the long street of bluestone slabs, the paper windows of wooden houses, candlelight reflects the gesture of geisha dressing up in the mirror. A warm-toned, drunken world.
My favorite scene is the scene where Sayuri performed the fan dance for the first time. I personally think it is much better than the scene where she led the dance later. The slender fingers hooked the handle of the fan, the wrist turned softly, half-circle into a circle, the colors on the fan surface flowed, a bold and a bit shy look, timidly glanced from behind the fan, making the pedestrians bewildered. In contrast, the later dance in the snow seemed mad, struggling and clumsy, without any sense of beauty.
Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh, the three of them are very breathtaking in their costumes, especially the white necks exposed behind the kimono collars. Can't help feeling that the ancients describe how appropriate a beautiful woman is for a vase. The line that descends from the head and flows over the shoulders and neck is smooth, soft and slender, isn't it just like the slender neck of a vase.
Michelle Yeoh said that geishas are actually artists. I think there is such an existence in every culture, such as Chinese opera actors, with sleeves thrown away, singing melodiously. But after several generations, it is the good old days.
