A really great review! 😊🙌🏻 I’ve just finished reading the book and I can agree with every aspect you said in your review. The movie and the book were two different masterpieces, but I also love both. The movie gives us the magical soundtrack and the book gives us more background details and the author’s style of writing is just dreamy. ❤️
Fantastic review! I've seen the movie and really enjoyed it so thought I would read the book. I was hoping they would go into more detail at the beginning and the end of the storey. Especially the end because I wanted to know more about what happened between Sayuri and the Chairman. Definitely going to read the book now! Thank you.
Of course a movie has time limitations and it would be impossible to film exactly like the book. However I felt this movie had the right ambience and feel and gave as close to the book as possible whilst still retaining the dramatic effect of a visual art form - for example the fire scene and fight showed just how vicious and in depth had been the feud between the 2 competing geishas. A book allows you to be inside someone's head and by using narration the movie got close to that idea. of course the one thing a movie can't do is reproduce whatever imagery is in a person's own mind whilst they are reading the book which is perhaps why movies seem to fall short of our expectations. I enjoyed both and also don't understand why people watch the movie and then read the book as with myself it's always the opposite.
Amazing
