memoirs of a geisha blu-ray great movie colors really pop i also recommend the last samurai on blu-ray the colors and picture quality are amazing.
Less than Accurate Geisha Memoir -- or Something More? Director Rob Marshall spins a cool Japanese tale in Memoirs of a Geisha, an adaptation of the Arthur Golden novel of the same name. I loved the photography and segues throughtout the film. The editing and music were perfect.
But the whole pining for love that can never be but might be, the geisha life and it's prid and standards and finally the invasion of American culture left me a bit wanting. I wanted more than I got, but what I did get was a fine, entertaining film.
The jealous friends, the stab you in the back with a smile style, the unrequited love triangle, and the bidding on a woman's virginity were all quite fascinating in their own right.
The characters were well done, and the actors, two of whom also were in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, were right for their respective roles; they were Ziyi Zhang Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Legend of the Black Scorpion; and Suzuka Ohgo: Asian Cinema 4-pack (Curse of the Golden Flower / Memoirs of a Geisha / Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon / House of Flying Daggers).
Definitely a chick flick, but I was always a sucker for them.
This DVD was barebones, a couple of commentary tracks and that's about it. Previews for one movie, gosh....
Just as good: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Great Movie 100th time watching the movie but this was my first time watching it in Hi Def and it's that much better.
not true to the book why can't movie makers leave the story AS TOLD by the AUTHOR of the book? why do they think we are interested in their own little spin? really, now ....just stay true to the story!
The colours are superb Finally in High Definition. The colours are great.
The only sad thing is that the Japanese track is not available in this version.
