I originally thought that I could deeply understand the life of a geisha, this mysterious and beautiful professional person in the East. Although I like the soft and beautiful picture of the whole film, the delicate portrayal of details and the music full of Japanese style, everything was destroyed by it. The purpose is to hit the Oscar statuette. "Memoirs of a Geisha was originally made for Western audiences - the film is aimed at the tastes of Western audiences, and the purpose is to satisfy the curiosity of Western audiences about the mysterious East."
So what we see is - the American director invited a group of big-name Chinese actors with international influence, speaking in contrived English, with Japanese geisha culture and World War II as the background, to perform a "Uncle Raises Lolita" The plan" is a bloody love story. What comes out of the cocoon is nothing but a deformed oriental version of the story routine of Cinderella. The honey juice embarrassed and brushed the main line of the entire film.
Again, apart from the plot that cannot be carefully scrutinized by the audience, the performances of the actors are also embarrassing - the former geisha plays Hatsumamo, played by Gong Li, who gives the impression that it is not a representative of elegant beauty, but more like a charm Still alive, sexy prostitutes. The heroine, Zhang Ziyi, who plays Sayuri, the number one geisha in the capital, is good because she doesn't have a good balance of rigidity and softness, and badly because her performance is too rigid and monotonous. And the most acclaimed is the little Chiyo played by the local Japanese actor Ogo Shouka - clear and watery eyesight, innocence and courageous and tenacious temperament, perfect performance. So it has to be said that Japanese culture is still only vividly performed by Japanese actors.
Although I criticize this work harshly, I still agree with a filmmaker who said that the film did not win the Oscar award as scheduled at that time, because the films of the same period were very good. Just imagine that this film is placed now, it may be Also get an above average score.
Nowadays, the development of film and television is getting faster and faster, and the number of works is also increasing. But whether it is flooding or the beginning is worth thinking about by every film and television person.
