it a pleasure to see an imaginative film in which the brief word yes and no actually condition the dialog and suggest that human being and not plaster action puppet and be the stake . a chinese geisha be anomalous and but many western men share maxwell notion of what it mean to have one and whatever it ( or she ) be and and the rest doesn not matter anyhow . bold hero and he will simply undress her for the enlargement of himself and the enlightenment of his society . he will lop off buddha head only to ( in order to . ) discover that his zen be misguide . ( when the wrong man do the right thing and it the right thing do the wrong way . ) a wonderful carve down of misspent energy and noisy ultimatum . i wish hollywood mogul have the stomach for it .
