A world without a main thread

Maybe it's because I didn't like Zhang Ziyi very much, or maybe it's because the heroine in it is a genre that I don't appreciate very much. This movie gave me a very different vision. In my opinion, there are three protagonists in this film, and it happens that these three protagonists divide the film into three parts.
1. The little heroine.
Those eyes with some slanted pockets are beautiful. Looking back for a moment, it was the color of the sea. She is a very beautiful doll, and people can see her difference in the crowd at a glance.
She is resolute. On the night of her escape, she poured out all her affection.
2. Tao (Gong Li) is
indifferent to the beauty of Misty Rain, like a beauty walking out of a painting. To fall in love with a man is to say that it is love, it is better to say that the desire for freedom is sprinkled on a man.
She is a woman who can be jealous, but even jealousy and hatred are faint. In the blue silk on her sideburns, all the sharp emotions have turned into a touch of sadness.
When she left the burning house behind her, for the first time, she released her emotions and ran towards madness, or perhaps, towards freedom.
3. It's hard for a little pumpkin
to hate this woman. Not a sympathy, but all I can say is that I think she's pitiful and pitiful.
Her entire life has been an indictment of the injustice of fate. What she wanted to do, what she wanted to do in her whole life, was nothing but a geisha. But what the heroine (played by Zhang Ziyi) wants is love. For a geisha apprentice, how easy it is to want to be a geisha, and how difficult it is for a geisha to get love. But the heroine got the love she wanted (even though she may have been wronged in the eyes of many people), but the little pumpkin couldn't even be a geisha, and eventually became a prostitute.
this is not fair. In the whole movie, only when the little pumpkin said "I hate you" to the heroine, I cried.
Not having the same experience, but feeling the same.

In general, I threw away the original main line of this movie, that is, the love between the hero and heroine. (Actually, I don't really like the male lead)

    Compared with the younger sister, Zhang Ziyi, who likes this film more, except for the protagonist, I personally think that the biggest highlight is Michelle Yeoh. Michelle Yeoh gives that character vitality

    The most beautiful is probably the smile of the young Sayuri

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.
