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!
