What’s the Memoirs of a Geisha movie about?
In 1929, a young girl from a poor fishing village in Japan, Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), and her sister Satsu (Samantha Futerman) are sold by their father to the owner of a geisha house. They are quickly separated and Chiyo finds herself confronted with the strictness of the housekeeper and the harshness of the life of an apprentice geisha. She also has to face the jealousy-ridden hostility of Hatsumomo (Gong Li), the star geisha of the house, who succeeds in relegating her to the status of a simple servant. Chiyo has lost all hope when she is suddenly seduced by the kindness of a man (Ken Watanabe), chairman of an electricity company, with whom she falls in love. She then decides to do everything she can to deserve his attention. Another geisha, Mameha (Michelle Yeho), takes her under her wing and begins to teach her the rudiments of the trade by becoming her "big sister". Thanks to Mameha and helped by her determination, she soon becomes, under the name Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi), a famous and admired geisha throughout Hanamachi. But success does not bring her closer to the one she secretly loves because a geisha no longer has the right to love. Moreover, Nobu (Kōji Yakusho), the president's close friend, is interested in Sayuri and interposes himself between them. It will take the Japanese rout of World War II and the end of age-old traditions for Sayuri and the president to finally be together.

Why this relationship isn't weird: The chairman did not have any attraction to Chiyo when she was a child. He was just showing her kindness. He only met her once. They didn't have a relationship where he raised her or groomed her. He met her one time, forgot about her, then he saw her again many years later when she was spying on Pumpkin and decided to help her out by sending Mameha her way. After that, he became interested in her for the woman she had become. In Chiyo's case, it's not weird that she developed feelings for him when she was younger because she was a child. Kids develop crushes on adults all the time. Think of a kid crushing on their teacher. As she got older, her feelings developed from a child-like crush to a more mature attraction. It would've been perverted if the chairman liked her back then because he was the adult but in Chiyo's case, it's harmless. I am someone who is easily disturbed by a romantic relationship if it's depicted with a weird dynamic or anything that could be perceived as grooming, but I think the criticism this relationship receives is undeserved.

Two things to reflect on: 1. Even today, our media churns out feel-good stories about individual kindnesses within a horrific system but if you seek to change the system, you face vicious backlash. How does that influence the way we read stories like this? 2. The author was neither a woman nor Japanese, and the geisha he interviewed in his research said that he had been disrespectful. How does that influence the way the story was written? “That’s how it was” isn’t the end of the discussion. It’s the beginning of a whole new one.

Also even if by some miracle, he leaves his wife for you (which he won't) 1 of 2 other things happen 1. You turn into the bitch that made him lose his wife, his kids and half his stuff or 2. He sees you as the vehicle he used to get out of a bad marriage. Think of yourself as a rental car he picked up to drive from Point A to Point B. There's no option to buy the rental car. Ever. Sometimes a guy can be divorced from a bad marriage and those who do get it right the first time are incredibly blessed. Each lovebird is different. BUT if any married man chases you, run and don't look back!

By far the most romantic scene in the history of cinematography ever!! The script, the facial expressions, the pace, the embodiment of the feelings...the bitter deep love, the release of a sigh, the overwhelming gasp at hope after prolonged years of excruciating despair, like that drop of water that touches the throat of a thirsty outcast...it is too much excellence in one small scene. Brings me to tears each time.

When this was first popular- and I was young- I thought it was romantic but it's actually creepy. He saw a sad, pretty little girl and immediately thought she should become a geisha? 😬 How about buying her contract and having her work in his house where she'd be treated better instead? I mean, I know geishas had it a bit better than being a servant but he referred her into a kind of prostitution. Where she was auctioned off for her v-card. Her life was filled with pretty clothes and she wasn't beaten, but he's no hero or rescuer. He waited for his opportunity so he could keep her on the side as his mistress, saw her as an object to own and bed just like the others. What a catch, how romantic. 😒

@privateprivate8366 2 года назад

It is a bittersweet film to watch. I feel sorry for the lives all of these women endured. I’m glad that Sayuri and the Chairman finally found love, with one another. It is something I’m still hoping for, with someone, whom I hope actually loved me, some years ago, but life’s timing was off. Still, I feel so sorry for Hatsumomo, Pumpkin and the other women, much in the same way I’ve felt about life. It has never been good enough, for me to sometimes win alone. I’m still struck by the losses of those who never will. Hatsumomo and Pumpkin were likely seen as embittered, merely in and of themselves, when their bitterness came from the outside in, spoiling their joy. But, as I’ve learned in life, people punish those, who don’t make their peace with Hell. I hope, for them, too, they find happiness. My own story doesn’t have nearly this depth, yet I still hope for the same ending.

@kiwimusume 8 месяцев назад

I am profoundly frustrated by the way people shut their eyes to this, especially since the book itself doesn’t mince words about it. Pretty much all of the women, even Mameha, are bitter about the way their society treats them, and Sayuri both hates the way they treat her and understands why they’re doing it.

@privateprivate8366 8 месяцев назад

@@kiwimusume yes, people treat an unhappy, angry person as if it was a simple package deal, where they may have been born that way, never learned to just cope, and deserve what else they get, compounding their problems.

But I also know that she tried very hard to accomplish things in her life. Very good things. And life sucker punched her a number of times. Unfortunately for me, I became her major target.

Especially the last few pages, in this day and age, talking about change and reminiscing on the past. I want to watch the movie, though this scene right here shows me that no matter how good the movie, the book is (almost coughITcough nobody needs to read how the kids celebrated ohmigosh cough) always better. 4 minutes of screen time do not capture all the nuances, emotions, and so forth that the writer crafted so convincingly with words alone. To read the book, you would believe it was like a Japanese version of The Diary of Anne Frank with a happier ending. This movie still looks beautiful, though, and I do want to see it.

The problem with reading a book is that your imagination has no limitations to it, such is why the book is often better than the movie. As a story moves closer to reality, the more constrained it becomes, the more limitations are placed upon it. Thus the closer to reality it gets, the more disappointments it will have.

There is nothing romantic in this whole story. I only see people, especially girls/women struggle to stay alive, just like fights for survival during a historical-war-story. For girls it meant accepting to be an utensil (geisha/slave). So, thousands of commentators here (most women) are only seeing a teenager falling in love with an adult. She didnt fall in love with a poor guy as you noticed. She experienced poverty, hunger, abuse, disrespect, being treated less then a dog. Her whole life is a fight to survive, so she naturally chooses someone who once again can be her save heaven. True love between two people can only exists when it starts when both are in equal circumstances. That soo many see romance in this heartbreaking horror lives those women lived and some are still living, all in the name of nostalgic traditions, you should be ashamed if yourself.

Met her as a child and he had a famous Geisha take her under wing. Ugly truth, folks. He sent her off to be groomed.

@lalisasmr 2 года назад

I can agree that the love story is unconventional and unsettling, but grooming is not the correct term. Grooming is when a predator uses manipulation tactics to make a victim comply. She had a crush on him as a child and decided to do whatever it took to be in his world some day. She says it in this very scene. He decided to help her, and by all accounts wasn't expecting anything in return. That's why when Nobu showed interest, he stepped aside.

@madamtwonky4076 2 года назад

@@lalisasmr He sent her off to be groomed. The training, the taught subtlety that makes her intriguing, beguiling even, the pounding into her head everything she does is for the pleasure of a man, whatever man that may be. That's grooming. Prettier than today's off the rack groomer, but grooming nonetheless.

@lalisasmr 2 года назад

@@madamtwonky4076 you're literally referring to an entire cultural practice and misrepresenting it entirely. Most Geisha didn't sell their virginities or sleep with their clients. So you are referring to this as grooming because you are looking at it through the wrong lense. Was it still grooming when she was initially training as a child? Are all Geishas victims of grooming? Geishas exist to this day and are incredibly strong businesswomen. Sayuri had her own motivation to reach the chairman and be in "his world", regardless of him sending Mameha to train her.

A man sees a child on a bridge, instead of buying her contract or helping her, he left to be sold into sexual slavery or the life of the Geisha, another word for prostitution. Beautiful clothes and sweeping music still doesn't cover the real tragedy of the geisha, it's amazing how little it takes to make people gush.
