What>? Well if you read the novel.. it's quite a long run with lots of slow and super slow events going round the book. But the movie.. heh.. missed quite a lot of parts but still.. it's a okie movie to me. The intro, you'll know how little Chiyo and her sister Satsu were sold to some weird guy, both separated in different areas of Kyoto. Then there's this 'bi***' who's also in the same house as Chiyo, always putting blame on her.. bully her and all that.. Then there's Hatsumomo, (Michelle Yeoh) who trains Chiyo to be a 'Geisha' (if you wanna know the connection between both the person then i suggest you to watch it because it might be a bit hard to explain) Then Chiyo becomes Sayuri... then find her truelove.. (not too interesting here). I can tell you the most interesting part is 'what geishas actually do and how they do it'. Serious, looking at the world from a geisha's view is totally different.. if you're some prostitude then your world will be like a 'fishmarket'. No matter how it stinks or dirty, you gotta have fish in it. If you're a student then you might imagine your world as some battlefield for exams for something similar. As for geishas, they're totally different. To them, the world is a big sheet of paper, and it is up to them to paint on it. hm.. i might be crapping too much just watch the movie alright?? "Geishas are artists not prostitudes.."

Fast Facts: The movie might suggest only over 18 teens to watch but be aware that THERE IS NO EXPOSURE of any 'private parts' in the movie. it's nothing! trust me... Again, Ziyi Zhang looks too chinese... they should ask some japanese actress in it.. and yeah sometimes geisha is known as 'geiko' while kimono as 'obebe'.

Suitable for: Whoever that really misses cherry blossoms and loves to wear white make-ups!

Rating: I'm generous today so it's a 7.20 outta 10
