Set in a mysterious and exotic world which still casts a potent spell today, the story begins in the years before World War II, when a Japanese child is torn from her penniless family to work as a servant in a geisha house. Despite a treacherous rival who nearly breaks her spirit, the girl blossoms into the legendary geisha Sayuri (
Ziyi Zhang). Beautiful and accomplished, Sayuri captivates the most powerful men of her day, but is haunted by her secret love for the one man (
Ken Watanabe) who is out of her reach.
Based on the internationally acclaimed novel by Arthur Golden.
I like the plot of the movie....The lead role is very pretty and talented when it comes to acting....
I read the book first and found that the movie covered the book well. I really liked the movie.
It is typical! Portraying the persona of a young, immature, arguably stupid girl for our times! Thank you. But I think it is a movie that should have been definitly explored!
