A BEAUTIFUL AND EXCELLENT STORY!!!
very nice story about a girl who just wants to be free. i liked it.
I thought it was beautifully captured film. I thought the acting was well done. The cineamatography, is pure art.
Somewhat of a disappointment as I felt the movie lacked Sayuri`s character development from a young girl to a woman as was apparent in the novel. The cinematography was one of the movie`s strongest points, however it came across as too "in your face" at times so much so as it was difficult to understand the context of the scene, but it was also beautifully executed in several other parts of the film. The young actress portraying Chiyo had a commendable performance.
The cinematography, costumes, acting and music were excellent. Interestingly, the beginning of this film had many parallels to the movie WATER. However, I was disappointed in how this film ended - it was very predictable. This film was also way too long - the entire movie could have been portrayed in half the time. I had high hopes for this movie and unfortunately was disappointed.
A superb movie with fabulous photography.
The people who simply disagree that dis movie is fantasic are just being nonrealalistic, and ppl who think that they should keep the religious moments in the past , " you dont need to! its a movie it`s not history class !i say this movie is awsom
I read the book before watching the movie and noticed a lot of differences which is expected. But both were extraordinary.
It was quite good but after reading the comments about the main character not being Japanese; that distracted me a lot. I thought it was a bit too long, but it is a tear jerker so girls bring your hankies.Danielle
