What’s the Memoirs of a Geisha movie about?
In 1929, a young girl from a poor fishing village in Japan, Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), and her sister Satsu (Samantha Futerman) are sold by their father to the owner of a geisha house. They are quickly separated and Chiyo finds herself confronted with the strictness of the housekeeper and the harshness of the life of an apprentice geisha. She also has to face the jealousy-ridden hostility of Hatsumomo (Gong Li), the star geisha of the house, who succeeds in relegating her to the status of a simple servant. Chiyo has lost all hope when she is suddenly seduced by the kindness of a man (Ken Watanabe), chairman of an electricity company, with whom she falls in love. She then decides to do everything she can to deserve his attention. Another geisha, Mameha (Michelle Yeho), takes her under her wing and begins to teach her the rudiments of the trade by becoming her "big sister". Thanks to Mameha and helped by her determination, she soon becomes, under the name Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi), a famous and admired geisha throughout Hanamachi. But success does not bring her closer to the one she secretly loves because a geisha no longer has the right to love. Moreover, Nobu (Kōji Yakusho), the president's close friend, is interested in Sayuri and interposes himself between them. It will take the Japanese rout of World War II and the end of age-old traditions for Sayuri and the president to finally be together.

In the book, she considers tossing the handkerchief, but decides to keep it as a memento of what she loved and thought she had lost. Then, when she and the Chairman finally get together and reveal their love for each other, she pulls the handkerchief our of her obi to reveal that she was the little girl on the bridge.
Yeah, that is so true. The director might have thought it to be a good idea to portray the extreme pain in Chiyo's heart by showing that tossing scene separately and distinctively.
@@sohankitamukherjee7981 both scenes are perfect for the media they were intended for.
@@wengercleopatra2150 That is true.
I haven't read the book but wanted to see the movie. I will read the book instead now and enjoy the story as the author intended. Thank you for your comment.
@@nisanight2247 They are both beautiful, I recommend both! I saw the movie a few times before I read the book, and enjoyed all the new details in the book.
Pumpkin, just like Sayuri, deserved better. Poor Pumpkin was the ragdoll of Hatsumomo, trying her hardest, but being pushed aside by the mother of the okiya in the end must have broken her.
Yes, and the fact she can't become a real geisha anymore because she had to work as a prostitute during the war
Yeah, Pumpkin try put herself out there being a Geisha only to come out short & not reaching her goal. So in the end became a prostitute with a terrible grudge.
"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves, until one day there are none". So earth-shakingly profound and true this line is. It got engraved into my mind the first time I saw this film.
Historical inaccuracies aside, this movie is an artistic masterpiece in my opinion. It's so beautiful and mesmerizing to watch.
It’s ironic because Pumpkin’s revenge only brought them together.
Yep! Nobu was still cut out of the picture 😊
Mhm
That's usually what happens when you try to intentionally ruin someone or take revenge upon yourself, it'll back fire. Only God is in control & can bring right justice.
He doesn't deserve her.
She was kinda stupid
this broke me so much. i think sayuri was also at fault for never reaching out to pumpkin after being adopted to show her how she feels. how could pumpkin know sayuri still consider her as a friend? sayuri keeps asking for favors to pumpkin and didn't seem to ever give back. she knows pumpkin feels lost without hatsumomo, but when she was at her height of success, never once did she bring pumpkin around to promote her or something (at least from what was told in the book and movie) if i was pumpkin, i'd probably be mad too. i'd feel abandoned and cast away, while sayuri gets everything that she wanted like a true protagonist
I rewatched the movie yesterday and Chiyo says to Mother she can adopt the two of them
I'm not agreed .
I think Pumpkin can't forgive Sayuri for what happen to her. Pumpkin has turned into a low prostitute a step down from a Geisha.
@@BlackCatFilmProductions it's not really Sayuri's fault because she didn't want the okiya and even suggest to Mother to adopt the two of them
@@a.g.demada5263 Yeah, I figure that. But to Pumpkin she see Sayuri the root to her unhappiness. Sayuri was way more popular then her, Sayuri got to star as the lead dancer and during the bidding war gain a lot of money.
It's sad that Pumpkin ended up becoming a Hatsumomo.
What do you think became of Hatsumono? Do you think she became a prostitute too working the street to survive or did she find happiness too?
In the book when Sayuri confronts Pumpkin she even says that she felt as she was looking at Hatsumomo at that moment
I love that as she walks onto the cliff, she looks so much like Hatsumomo...
The book kinda alluded so much on how Chiyoh is much like Hatsumomo, both of them fell in love and sacrificed everything to be with their heart's desire.
At the last part of the book, Chiyoh admitted that sometimes, when she looks at the mirror, she sees Hatsumomo staring at her back.
@@ValerioRhys When I read that part of the book, I didn't understand it at first and I thought it meant that Chiyo was so traumatized from the abuse of Hatsumomo that she still "sees" her sometimes like a reflex, I didn't realize that it actually meant she became as bad as Hatsumomo. Chiyo seemed pretty wholesome to me whenever I read the book but maybe it's because it's written from her perspective.
I can't say I didn't feel sorry for Pumpkin regardless of her revenge scheme. She was sold, abused, Hatsumomo's dog, wasn't good as a geisha, not the adopted heir, and forced to extremes to survive the war. She began with nothing, was given nothing, and ended up with nothing.
Its sad that both Sayuri and Pumpkin relationship was destroyed.
It seems like Pumpkin has followed Hatsumomo's footsteps
Terrific cinematography and violin playing.
Violinist is Itzhak Perlman!
Pumpkin would have got her ass beat playing with me like that. And she wanna be mad over something that wasn't even in Sayuri's control.
Yeah, Sayuri was in a game she wasn't in control of her own destiny.
The result of managing life with emotions, it makes of this existence a hell.
I agree.
This is one of my favourite movies since it came out, and I've only just noticed that a lot of the opening narration are written like a Haiku. Amazing.
If pumpkin wanted to be mad at someone to should have been herself. Sayuri didn't take everything from her she never had it to begin with. She was clumsy, slow learner with so so looks. They called her pumpkin for a reason. On top of that she was to weak to fight for what she wanted but sayuri wasn't she knew the only way to get into the chairman's world was to get pass Hatsumomo and she was willing to do it knowing full well what would happen when the got home but she didn't let it stop her.
Yep, but there always has to be someone to blame for those who never take resposibility for themselves.
Agreed. Pumpkin was a sore loser who resigned herself to being bitter and angry.
Or you could observe that in a society where women have almost zero economic, social, and or political power, they're forced to compete against one another for the tiny spaces where they do have a voice or autonomy. This conflict was inevitable. Sure Pumpkin's response was petty and cruel but can you blame her when she lost to a girl who won a genetic lottery for gray eyes and had a wealthy benefactor fund her and arrange special training with Gion's best geisha? Sayuri worked hard too but she was positioned to win. Sayuri did all of this for a man. That probably puts an extra sting for Pumpkin.
@@nitewarden I think the reason Pumpkin became more furious, was that when the war starts, she becomes a either a prostitute, or something along those lines. I don't remember that being shown in the movie, but the book touches upon that. When Sayuri convinces Mother to reopen the Okiya, she asks her to take Pumpkin back as well, but mother deems her "too trashy" which could be hinting at Pumpkin's new profession.
thank you!
One of the most beautiful yet poignant scenes in film history in my opinion.
One of my favorite movies indeed.
A heart dies a slow death. Her ayes are deep water. It's not for geisha to want it's not a geisha to feel she dances she sing she entertain you whatever you want the rest is shadows the rest is secret
How deep ….are the wordings…..sweeps swiftly in your veins
Love the movie. The book is just really depressing.
Beautiful movie! I watch it all the time 🥺
That's not a revenge. That's just Pumpkin being a B.iatch and hurting Sayuri for her own miserable life. Sayuri never took the okiya from her, Mother gave it to Sayuri to get all the money from Sayuri's mizuage bidding to the estate. Plain and simple and explained in the movie. Those pitting Pumpkin or worse, siding with her... stay away from me.
Its sort of revenge. Seeing it from Pumpkin's point of view, she wasn't a Geisha in training but more of a lackey to Hatsumomo. Then Sayuri comes and gets trained by Mameha the most popular Geisha in town and soon enough Sayuri gets casted in a solo act in a Geisha performance, gains popularity and gets lots of offers from wealthy patrons and then gets one & becomes a full Geisha. Unlike Pumpkin who hasn't got any when she was a Geisha in training. And then the final nail in the coffin when Mother picked Seyuri as her adopted daughter. All her hopes to become a Geisha and becoming Mother's daughter were all taken away. And then war breaks out and she has to be come a prostitute to support herself, become less then a Geisha. Like Mother once said about Hatsumono about being 'Not like a Geisha but a common Prostitute'.
It's crazy what women during that time had to go through, Sayuri couldn't just say to this man "no I don't like you", but instead had to sleep with another man and plot and scheme and bend over backwards to get another man to just leave her alone. I would have been screwed during that time as an autistic woman.
I always thought it was a bit bratty for Pumpkin to hold it against Sayuri for inheriting the Okiya. Sayuri was never anything but kind to her. Sure they were competing for the same thing but one would hope the theme of forced rivalry would dissolve over time. One would also hope that Pumpkin wasn't naive enough to believe even if Okasan had picked her, she not hatsumomo would actually run the Okiya.
I think the reason Pumpkin became more furious, was that when the war starts, Pumpkin becomes a either a prostitute, or something along those lines, or at least she gets stuck in a position much lower than what she was trained for. I don't remember that being shown in the movie, but the book touches upon that. When Sayuri returns to the Okiya after the war, she asks Mother to take Pumpkin back as well but mother deems her "too trashy:, which is could be another stab at Pumpkin's heart, which would only make her even more vengeful.
As Suyuri quoted in the book, the spirit of hatsumomo had broken free
@@GimmehLewt Yeah, that sums it up. Pumpkin know she won't reach the highest of popularity as her sister Hatsumomo or Sayuri but her last chances was to inherited the Okiya from Mother so she had secure life and purpose for herself. Then when war broke out she took to the street and sold her body to anyone who wanted it. Such a sad existence for her and I'm not all surprised if Mother refused to take her back.
This movie taught me to not plays games and just be straight forward. Pumpkin could have being a daughter if Sayuri and the chairman had just been honest from the start and had gotten together and left everything behind.
Pumpkin is just like Hatsumomo a traitor
Its so complicated for me . I can't accepted what she done ..
pumpkin act reminds me of frustrated dollar hungry community intervention in name.of mental health bhuahahahahhabahaaa
Pumpkin revenge

I literally just realized! these are Chinese actresses... lol... isn't Gegsha a Japanese thing ?
The woman playing Pumpkin is JAPANESE. Can’t you tell?
@@ElizaHamilton1780 yeah.... one out of how many ??
@@ElizaHamilton1780 there is a lot of actresses in this movie that aren't exactly Japanese. That was criticized a lot in 2005-2006... Even the incorrect portrayal of Mizuage ceremony. It's a good movie, but inaccurate and even offensive in some cases.
@@7atkno as long as they do a good job I don’t care. Besides I don’t think any Japanese actresses wanted the roles .
I understand the cultural things going on but the movie is well done . A good actress or actor can make you forget their nationality or who they are if they do the role well-being
Yeah, I'm so pissed about it. Many people might disregard it, but I'm sure if this was done in a Chinese or any other cultural movie, it wouldn't be accepted.
Gaysha
She my idol access
I don’t get it what did chiyo take from pumpkin?
pumpkin was supposed to be adopted as the daughter of the okiya but after sayuri became a successful geisha, mother changed her mind.
@@andreibenedictmendiola1553 I really hate pumpkin for that because sayuri didn't chose anything she only wanted the chairman and nothing else
I'm on pumpkin's side . I understand why she did what she did I would have done the same
@@anyway1158 no, in my memory Sayuri had a chance.
when Mameha plans that okiya to adopt Sayuri rather than Pumpkin. Sayuri didn't do anything.
it's possible to say, she couldn't refuse and disagree with her teacher, but when Pumpkin tried to make Sayuri feel better for Hatsumomo spreading dirty rumors about Sayuri. Pumpkin told her, the only dream of hers is adopted to okiya and settle down. even at that moment, Sayuri didn't say anything.
that's why Sayuri tried to apologized when they meet again.
@@makubegysman6160 then you're a jealous person and I feel sorry for you
Why they let chinese actor play a japanese character?
because alot of Japanese people did not approve of this film. They found it insulting to geisha culture.
because she was most popular Asian actress in American cinema.
ITS CALLED ACTING.
@@TotalbadassX im not talking about acting dummy, why not let a japanese actor play japanese character instead of chinese? What if they cast indonesian actress to play mulan?
@@marcusmartin5758
They’re acting
