ive seen it as well as read the book and i thought that the book and the film were quite similar...except at the end...it was like they didnt know how to end it so they just...did! i was disappointed when the movie was over because i expected it to end a lot differently. overall i would recommend the film but if you read the book the end is probably gonna piss you off

My friend is reading the book and she says its amazing. She's almost finished it since starting 3 days ago and couldn't put it down. I think she's dying to see the movie so I'm gonna go with her at some point.

She was a little bit confused at one point in the book though, she wasn't sure if the girl was being raped or not. Can anyone clear this up for me?


she wasnt being raped its just custom for the geisha girls to sell their "misuagae" which is her virginity (or however you spell it) and if she didnt sleep with him she wouldnt have had enough money to pay off her debts for the kimono and other stuff that she had to get as a child. not rape just a custom Confused

Traditional and codified geisha engagements will never involve sexual activity.

My friends all said it was about Chinese whores.


...sorry is that was offending to anyone. Rolling Eyes
Japanese.

It's more annoying than offending when people assume every asain on earth is Chinese. (I wasn't directing that at you.)


Well said, with I myself being Japanese.

Is Ziyi Zhang any good at acting Japanese in the movie? Personally I think she belongs in classic Kung Fu movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Geishas would have a Dana and a patron someone who when the dana isnt about will pay to have sex with them. But it is a big part of they're culture.

stupider than poo.:
My sister watched it. She said it wasn't great.
And from the way she described it, the old man sounds scary.


the old man? Does she mean nobusan? Or the president? Because neither of them were scary nobusan has burn marks down his face but hes not scary just strange in a differant culture sort of way.

does she mean doctor crabb...cause hes sounds like a scary guy in the book because he sleeps with her but he paid the most money to buy her misuagae (virginity) and in the movie hes a lot less scary though it does seem weird because hes like 50 and shes like 18 and they do it..but its weird cause she just lays there while he...you know...

did you really find dr crabb scary because i didnt, i know that he bought her but that was just part and parcel of life over there.

actually if you see the film you'll know that he actually wasnt the highest bidder the baron was.
