Memoirs of a Geisha - A good movie!

I am not really a very big cinema person who goes to see all the movies that are well promoted. However compared to Netherlands I go much more often (it is cheaper lah :) and I have more time as well).

Now I went to see the “Memoirs of a Geisha” and I have to say that I was very impressed. Am I getting old that there are so many good movies I like or the movie industry is getting better?

I really like this movie because it leaded me in a world which was quite unfamiliar for me, the story was nice and it showed characters in a very cool and NOT cheesy way. It highlighted different values in a very good way. Values that are very important for me (like loyalty). Just discovered that I would be very comfortable with Japan and I have a bit of passion now to find out more about the fundamental values of the Japanese.

Besides the story the setting was quite nice and the whole movie was filmed and edited in a very nice way with attention to details and to the expressions/actions of the people. Some might say that the movie is too log, but that’s why is so enjoyable, because it pays attention to the details.

I think it is a must see movie. If not for its artistic value, then for the nice Asian girls featured in it :) (Ok, this sentence is for those who always piss me off with their stupid questions about how Asian girls are).
