most everyone i know has panned the movie. is it deserving of such a bad word of mouth? yes and no. i went into it with the lowest of low expectations and emerged entertained, if slightly confused. there were really no truly exciting or enthralling aspects of the movie, but it did make me want to re-read the book again, or read the true account by the geisha who inspired/informed the novel. if the object of movies is to get the mind churning, than this film succeeded.the whole chinese as japanese thing is a non-issue. hardly anyone speaks well enough english to understand some lines anyway. it's like watching my mom talk through an english movie.
