The Prologue
The 2nd of March this year the movie "Memoirs Of A Geisha" is due to be released in the Netherlands. I happen to be reading this novel from a book I borrowed in November last year. I am really curious to see how the film will be compared to the book.
According to a review I read the movie omitted the years when the main character Chiyo (in the movie she is referred to as Sayuri) underwent hardship to become a succesful geisha at the end.
The remarkable thing about the movie so far I know is that the main characters are played by celebrated Chinese actresses like Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li. Also, the whole film was shot primarily in California although the story happened in Japan in the early 20s of last century. Anyway, I am very looking forward to watch "Memoirs Of A Geisha".
