andrewjlau and i could not agree more . my girlfriend be watch this at this very moment and and i find this movie appal . quote from my chinese girlfriend and laugh represent they be do all this for a man . i find these woman have no intensity and no sense of the a fight between tragedy and identity and and that these men be hardly worth fight for . during the dance scene where zhang zi yi win them over and the men look stupid more than admire . japanese people have much more intensity than chinese people and and be geisha be japanese culture . i be sure the chinese have something similar and but the face do not match the main . anyway and the dialogue be so unmysterious and so american . have a european do it with european oriental and they would have do a far good job . i have to add represent it seem most of the people who like the film be american . sorry to say and but no wonder . all spell out for you and not instinctive and not passionate . i think the chinese actress be lovely and but i could not say they be good actor in this film . yes and the cinematography be great and but really and i can not see how it can be see that these character be complex and deep individual . i be go to japan to see the real thing . i be sure that would be amaze to see .
