| Memoirs of a Geisha |

caught Memoirs of a Geisha last night, and because of that, i'm terribly interested in reading the book.

the movie was good though i've heard lousy critics about it.

a thick novel shortened into a 2-hour movie, how much can you expect? just like Pride and Prejudice, a world classic filmed into a movie, many details were missed, but just the gist of the story was enough to captivate the viewers. besides, it was brilliantly filmed, alot of details were lavished and exaggerated, and i like classic, olden movies like that.

but until now, its still a mystery to me. geisha. the art of becoming one. its like a top-class, expensive prostitute if you ask me. though you don't sleep with every men out there of course. your virginity is bidded in an auction where you'd have to sleep with the highest bidder. how primitive is that?
maybe its because of the sexual scenes in the movie that were particularly crude and i found it pretty gross which is the reason for my judgement. especially the part where 'Mother' tested if Hatsumomo was having sex by feeling her virgina and playing with the discharge on her hand, yew like major gross!!!

and no love. its like the most painful of all.
only half-wives, wives of the night.
well, but at least those really good ones manage to find themselves a 'danna' that they love or have feelings for and then, being their geisha ain't that bad.

ay, such was the life of a geisha, though i can understand and accept that its probably like their culture or tradition.

anyway, i do adore those eyes of hers, they're pretty!
