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.

![Mr Miller & Cairo - Their Full Story [ Miller's Girl ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_gJZ-RBUKIA/mqdefault.jpg)
By far the most romantic scene in the history of cinematography ever!! The script, the facial expressions, the pace, the embodiment of the feelings...the bitter deep love, the release of a sigh, the overwhelming gasp at hope after prolonged years of excruciating despair, like that drop of water that touches the throat of a thirsty outcast...it is too much excellence in one small scene. Brings me to tears each time.
Every bone in my body becomes unable to feel romance in the air when someone 50 years old tells a 20 year old he was in love with her the second he saw her 10 year old self walking about the street 💀
Kind of reminds me of Mr darcy and Elizabeth in the 2005 confession scene of pride and prejudice
👏👏. Felt the same thing 🔥
I know! One of my most favorite romantic scenes!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Why this relationship isn't weird:
The chairman did not have any attraction to Chiyo when she was a child. He was just showing her kindness. He only met her once. They didn't have a relationship where he raised her or groomed her. He met her one time, forgot about her, then he saw her again many years later when she was spying on Pumpkin and decided to help her out by sending Mameha her way. After that, he became interested in her for the woman she had become.
In Chiyo's case, it's not weird that she developed feelings for him when she was younger because she was a child. Kids develop crushes on adults all the time. Think of a kid crushing on their teacher. As she got older, her feelings developed from a child-like crush to a more mature attraction. It would've been perverted if the chairman liked her back then because he was the adult but in Chiyo's case, it's harmless.
I am someone who is easily disturbed by a romantic relationship if it's depicted with a weird dynamic or anything that could be perceived as grooming, but I think the criticism this relationship receives is undeserved.
It is creepy and weird. But everyone was attracted to her because of her unusual eyes. And back then men married younger women.
Nor saying this is okay. But it was a different time and age. My great grandmother was a child when she was married to an old man. Creepy I know. But different time and age. It was a great movie. Despite the creepy men
@@rahrah9374 why is it creepy? throwing words around doesn't make something true.
Right ? It’s a beautiful story
You see how much explaining you did to prove it isn’t weird ?
“And yet, to learn of kindness after so much unkindness to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew, would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness?”
💜💜💜
This line made the whole movie. Because the whole time you’re thinking “this isn’t enough!” and want her and him to be together, but life is cruel and unfair, and like it said “these are the memoirs of a Geisha”, basically saying this is her lot in life, which she wanted and prayed for as a child. What a perfect line.
Hermoso
BEST. LINE. EVER!!!!!!
@@belindamoore3518 agree
I cried a lot in this scene, this movie is a masterpiece, I love Chiyo, I love all the characters, it is an absolutely charming and beautiful movie, Zhang is an incredible and beautiful actress
2:36 it still breaks my heart when he touches her face and her whole facade collapses. Beautiful acting.
Although I find it strange that he had his own children when they first met on that bridge when she was just a child herself, the ending scene of this movie is the most romantic scene ever.
If you read the book it says he’s married as well, the ending of the book has a bit more detail than the movie so I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but I suggest reading it.
@@SakuraaaHarmony i dont want to give away any spoilers to the book but your right. As a vivid reader i am i will say this is one of the few movies where Hollywood got it right and did a better job then the book thats all ill say. If you read it then you know what i may be referring too
Agree
Love is above age
Soul bonding
I still find it weird that he met her as a child though and they are lovers.
I just saw this movie tonight and I was extremely shocked and disappointed, the movie turned out to be way different than what I expected. It was very weird….
Let me say I was also weirded out by that scene. Like she met him when she was just a kid and he already looked like he was in his 30’s
@@sumsumisum right and he kissed her after she said “can’t you see, every step I took since I was that little girl was to get closer to you”
Why? Nothing untoward happened. They were adults when they got together.
@@meginmd yea but he had his eye on her the whole time... I don’t know but it’s a bit weird to me.
For all those who are commenting on how weird the relationship is, you have to remember when this was set and how relationships were back then. Women throughout Asia during WW2 were used as 'comfort women.' If not for this man, this is undoubtedly the road she would have gone down. She knows this and is grateful to him.
yeah right, I've just finished the moovie and was enjoing the feeling of sadness/nostalgia and awesomeness it left to me, coming to comment section to see what other people thought about this absolute gem and all I see is people complaining about this🙄🙄
Have just finished reading the book. And will purchase the dvd as well, the book was very good. But sometimes the written version is different from any thing Hollywood does, looking forward to purchasing the dvd so I can compare.
Christ, even when trying to explain it, you don't get it. Stop playing into the pathetic twisted mental gymnastics of woke feminist culture.
Two things to reflect on:
1. Even today, our media churns out feel-good stories about individual kindnesses within a horrific system but if you seek to change the system, you face vicious backlash. How does that influence the way we read stories like this?
2. The author was neither a woman nor Japanese, and the geisha he interviewed in his research said that he had been disrespectful. How does that influence the way the story was written?
“That’s how it was” isn’t the end of the discussion. It’s the beginning of a whole new one.
The movie has touched my heart since I was a kid and still get emotional every time I watch it again...chiyo's hard work and her determination paid off...and the love was so beautiful.
I cried like baby to this scene right before they came together and held each other. So much emotion. Such a lovely happy ending. So emotional. Absolutely beautiful :)))
I guess this is what she wanted but it’s sad that the best she can ever be is his mistress.
She can only be his mistress because in the book it explains that he is already married
@@janeoct WHAT? OMG.
@@giselleluna2645 yeah, the book says he’s married and has two daughters
@@janeoct agreed. This isn't really a happy ending at all.
In Geisha: A Life , that woman didn't put up with being second fiddle and found someone else.
Trust me; find someone who puts you first.
Also even if by some miracle, he leaves his wife for you (which he won't) 1 of 2 other things happen
1. You turn into the bitch that made him lose his wife, his kids and half his stuff or
2. He sees you as the vehicle he used to get out of a bad marriage. Think of yourself as a rental car he picked up to drive from Point A to Point B. There's no option to buy the rental car. Ever.
Sometimes a guy can be divorced from a bad marriage and those who do get it right the first time are incredibly blessed. Each lovebird is different.
BUT if any married man chases you, run and don't look back!
I remember when I first saw this movie as a teen I thought to myself, “They were both such great actors and *no one* made them redo that kiss? Yeesh.”
Not every kiss in an emotional situation is perfect. And it was also their first kiss.
I watched this a couple of days ago and I loved it
Chiyo made through a lot and came out strong. Even ended up with someone she loved and truly loves her
The book was beautifully written. Movie was good too.
A very unique film of all time.
I love that he did all this for her, so she can be a Geisha.
Is tha sarcasm?
@@franciscoriosrobalino3996 Probably not. It’s better than being a maid for the rest of her life. Geisha had a modicum of respect, some financial stability (if they were smart), beautiful things, etc. He did his best to give her a chance at a better life.
@@Sam-nz3vj by making her a prostitute? I’d rather be a maid than a prostitute. Not once would I look at a crying child and think that she would have a better life as a prostitute. 🙄
@@franciscoriosrobalino3996 probably not since Geisha are just entertainers
@@huxley8575 I can’t remember the film well, but pretty sure in the book her virginity is sold to some creepy rich man who keeps blood from all the girls he sleeps with. Gross!
No doubt my favorite movie of all time. Pain, Abandonment, loneliness, mixed in with Hope, Compassion, and kindness. Please read the story of Arthur Golden , an American who researched everything and went to Japan to learn first hand about the lives of Geisha and the book published in 1997. The story of Nitta Sayuri to becoming and working as a geisha in Kyoto before and after WW2
The chairman is so handsome 😍😍
This movie gets me every single time 😭😭😭😭
How is this movie not a 9/10 at least on IMDB?
The relationship between those two characters alone makes this movie unforgettable. The body language and facial expressions are absolutely on point. You still cry even if you watch this scene without sound.
One the best movies I've ever seen
"And yet, to learn of kindness after so much
unkindness to understand that a little girl with
more courage than she knew, would find her
prayers were answered, can that not be called
happiness?"
It's a truly great line
I’ve watched this movie probably over 500 times and I still 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
me too
Me too
Je ne suis pas seul alors 🥹 Bisou de Kyoto
The most beautiful scene in the whole movie.....
I'm in love with the Chairman❤❤❤😊
The happiness was so much, she couldn’t believe it. She trembled. To know such joy, if we can only be so lucky
Watched it when I was a kid. as an adult it’s still one of my favourite love stories of all time 💕

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) Zhang Ziyi as Chiyo/Sayuri, Ken Watanabe as Ken, Michelle Yeoh as Mameha and Gong Li as Hatsumomo. Also in the cast are Koji Yakusho, Youki Kudoh, Kaori Momoi, Tsai Chin, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, Suzuka Ohgo and Samantha Futerman in their supporting roles.
Very painful story but beautiful ending
It is a bittersweet film to watch. I feel sorry for the lives all of these women endured. I’m glad that Sayuri and the Chairman finally found love, with one another. It is something I’m still hoping for, with someone, whom I hope actually loved me, some years ago, but life’s timing was off. Still, I feel so sorry for Hatsumomo, Pumpkin and the other women, much in the same way I’ve felt about life. It has never been good enough, for me to sometimes win alone. I’m still struck by the losses of those who never will. Hatsumomo and Pumpkin were likely seen as embittered, merely in and of themselves, when their bitterness came from the outside in, spoiling their joy. But, as I’ve learned in life, people punish those, who don’t make their peace with Hell. I hope, for them, too, they find happiness.
My own story doesn’t have nearly this depth, yet I still hope for the same ending.
I am profoundly frustrated by the way people shut their eyes to this, especially since the book itself doesn’t mince words about it. Pretty much all of the women, even Mameha, are bitter about the way their society treats them, and Sayuri both hates the way they treat her and understands why they’re doing it.
@@kiwimusume yes, people treat an unhappy, angry person as if it was a simple package deal, where they may have been born that way, never learned to just cope, and deserve what else they get, compounding their problems.
While it is said that narcissists are created from nature/nurture, I’m not always sure of that. My mother may have died a covert, malignant narcissist. But I also know that she tried very hard to accomplish things in her life. Very good things. And life sucker punched her a number of times. Unfortunately for me, I became her major target. But, I never lost sight of who she was, when she was still striving.
If I didn't think he was married with children I would love this scene, she lived as his lover all her life..😒😒😒
Yeah, totally agree.
It's kind of unsatisfactory & bittersweet.
To be fair, loveless arranged marriages were still a thing at this time in Japan. But yeah the fact that he was married was really swept under the rug.
@@Sam-nz3vj yes love was considered to be the second thing in marriage first was chores. That's why men often rely upon geishas and oiran to experience love.
@@devidevathaI also think the fact that it was written by a white man matters. It reminds me of that scene near the end of Pretty Woman where Richard Gere’s character is trying to be a saviour to Julia Roberts’ character but he’s not fully seeing things through her eyes.
Chiyo finally got her happiness. Happiness is subjective. With everything she went through, I ADMIRE her journey, courage, and loyalty to the chairman, to finding her sister… I think this is one of my favourite movies
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this scene it’s my all time favorite 💯❤️🇬🇾
This ending reminds me of my parents during there college days, confessing to each other that they both love ❤️ each other, and that both didn’t care about there side of the parents culture/rules. I’m happy that my mother who use to be a pampered (wealthy) girl in Mexico 🇲🇽 accept a man who struggled in Japan 🇯🇵 because she loves a man who treats her like a Queen 👸🇯🇵 🇲🇽 ❤️😁👩🏻❤️💋👨🏽
What a cool transnational marriage! 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 ❤️
Aku nak telepon kamu
I understand the way they met.Although neither of them were ready to meet.They were soulmates destined to be together.He was too old and she was just a child.They both knew in their hearts, one day they would be together.
This movie is a masterpiece! But it gives me a special feeling when I watch it during autumn, does anyone else agree? ❤
This movie is just the best. I wish there was another but of course this just can not be. The book is one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life.
The book by Arthur Golden has some exquisite language and skill. The movie by Rob Marshall did justice to the source material. The standouts for me were the lush cinematography and John Williams ' magnificent score. What a delight to hear Itzhak Perlman and Yo Yo Ma on the OST. I still listen to the soundtrack. When the cello weeps at 3:10 the world stands still.
The first man to be kind to her and she pledged her allegience to him. How starved she was of love!
The pinnacle of emotions in the best of film.
Me encanta. "Cada paso que he dado es para estar cerca de ti".....hermosa!!
0:55 In the book, right at this moment she immediately pulled out the handkerchief he gave her all the years ago and all the explanation wouldn't be needed. I'm disappointed the movie did not go with the book on this one.
Love this movie so damn much and ive waited for this scene way too long but its so worth it♥️♥️♥️
Lies again? AMG OMG
Oh....how I love this beautiful, heartbreaking story..first the book, then this gorgeous movie. Wonderful ❤!
The acting is superb.
Ini
I just had my daughter watch Memoirs of a Geisha and she loved it as much as I did when it came out. It's a film that I wish everyone knew. It's so beautiful in every way.
A man sees a child on a bridge, instead of buying her contract or helping her, he left to be sold into sexual slavery or the life of the Geisha, another word for prostitution. Beautiful clothes and sweeping music still doesn't cover the real tragedy of the geisha, it's amazing how little it takes to make people gush.
@@pinkwonderpower7906 , "Are geisha prostitutes, or have they ever been? The answer flat out is NO. While geisha arose from the courtesan world, during the Edo period they established themselves as part of the entertainment class and were never prostitutes themselves."
@@andiestone okay but how are you gonna explain him falling in love with a child
@@YinYang333 Everyone knows it is wrong. The movie is about how she became a Geisha. I mean, it's wrong. I'm not going to argue that. Sh*t.
@@andiestone you are a gta ncp
So creepy, he looks sooooo old and she is so young.
If u watched the movie I will understand
Memoirs …..left deep hidden meaning after leading such a painful life
One of the best movies ever made... This pure love between these two are an example for all the fake couples out there today!!!
She’s his mistress.
I read the book years ago, when I was in my early 20s and thought it great. Just finished reading it again not even an hour ago, it's still good, but hits a lot different on many levels. Especially the last few pages, in this day and age, talking about change and reminiscing on the past.
I want to watch the movie, though this scene right here shows me that no matter how good the movie, the book is (almost coughITcough nobody needs to read how the kids celebrated ohmigosh cough) always better. 4 minutes of screen time do not capture all the nuances, emotions, and so forth that the writer crafted so convincingly with words alone.
To read the book, you would believe it was like a Japanese version of The Diary of Anne Frank with a happier ending.
This movie still looks beautiful, though, and I do want to see it.
I love the book and read it every time I want to get lost in another world. So I get what you are saying. The movie has made some changes but it holds its own quite well. I have an anniversary special DVD which shows all the efforts that were put into making the movie. The sheer production effort is simply fantastic. It brings a lot of the vivid colors of Japan alive. And of course the acting is amazing, especially by Gong Li as Hatsumomo. Do give it a try.....
The problem with reading a book is that your imagination has no limitations to it, such is why the book is often better than the movie. As a story moves closer to reality, the more constrained it becomes, the more limitations are placed upon it. Thus the closer to reality it gets, the more disappointments it will have.
@@yoursafeplace8476 This was my issue. The imagination part. I've watched countless of Asian movies that I knew majority of these actors and it kind of removed the enjoyment for me. They looked the part I guess but the nuances a Japanese person would have put into these roles would have elevated this movie more. I have nothing against the Chinese actors. I love all of them but, again, I was hoping to at least have more Japanese actors in these roles. I wish they could remake this with a purely Japanese cast with deep rooted Japanese traditions showcased like how it seemed in the book. I doubt that will ever happen though.
What’s the name of a book?
I love this movie! Beautifull soundtrack. Great book also
I have watched this movie over 20 times but I still love it. Still makes have the feels
20 is the age gap between the actors
@@seannatarajan1131 hu I never thought about there age. But age don't really bother me since my husband and I are 25 yrs apart lol
@@AlmaWadeCrymsm yeah it ain’t bad or anything. It was just weird that he met her as a kid.
Someday I will hear the Truth I have been waiting for. Only time will tell.
Patience
So powerful. So moving.
Where is my Chairman 😞💔
I literally cried so much during this movie😭😭😭😭😭✨ loved it so much as a growing up girl.
No one in the history of the world 🌍 has ever been able to stop people from loving each other
That means help a girl child... and she will be yours after grown up 🐱
When this was first popular- and I was young- I thought it was romantic but it's actually creepy. He saw a sad, pretty little girl and immediately thought she should become a geisha? 😬 How about buying her contract and having her work in his house where she'd be treated better instead? I mean, I know geishas had it a bit better than being a servant but he referred her into a kind of prostitution. Where she was auctioned off for her v-card. Her life was filled with pretty clothes and she wasn't beaten, but he's no hero or rescuer. He waited for his opportunity so he could keep her on the side as his mistress, saw her as an object to own and bed just like the others. What a catch, how romantic. 😒
Ikr 🤮
Also, if you read the book, he married with two children. It was briefly mentioned in the movie when he bought the sweet ice for Chiyo. "I buy these for my children every spring". So yeah, a married man spots a child on a bridge and decides to maker her a geisha so he can have her as his mistress.... wow, how romantic
He is rich and handsome. He seems to be under the impression that he is in love with her. He isn't cruel, nor dumb, nor depressing. He is basically a god at this point. I'm tiredly joking but also, realistically, if you look around, what more can we expect of a man.
I will also be looking for a man who pays me respect but I will not be surprised if I die alone.
I agree, I still wish she ended up with Nobu. He was honourable, literally nothing but kind to her. He never came on to her or tried to take anything that wasn't his, he didn't even bid on her virginity. I don't think he had a wife or children either? She made him softer, his only fault was that he was "ugly" and was missing half an arm.
yet mizuage was a real thing ..just imagine being a girl anywhere back in those days
Uma das mais belas histórias de amor do cinema 😢😢
So... They find out that they were in love with each other without really knowing each other?? I'm still lost on all this geisha ownership stuff!!! Great movie!!
I have to cry everytime I watch this scene. So beautiful ❤
I always recognized the Chairman actor as Dr. Serizawa in Godzilla but just realized today when I was rewatching the second movie with him that Chiyo’s actress is in it, too, as Dr. Chen. For some reason it made me laugh a lot because of them reuniting in such a different kind of movie
Ah, what a gorgeous man. I would swoon.
Love this movie...
I cherished it...had watched many times...love happens❤❤☺️
I loved this book and movie.
I agree!! So amazing!!!
Why does he remind me of Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables!?
I don't know...Now that you say it...
Oh my god!!! I completely agree!
We must be kindred spirits ☺️
I could watch this movie every day
Powerful words and emotions. I cry each time.
Say it isn’t so it’s a romantic movie from fox pictures.
My daughter and I love this movie 😊
Her eyes are si pretty. They could have not hidden by lens
😢❤ so sad sometimes people loose so much time to open their hearts to each other
How great to all the people behind the scenes.. They can find such a familiar face of small chiyo and the adult one....
This actress looks like the actress in Ruyi Love in the palace as Consort Hui.
YES!!! I thought the same thing!
YES!!!!! OMG I totally looked this up yesterday just to prove to myself it wasn't. So happy others think so too.
Will always be my favorite movie of all time
Hermosa escena final. La adoré❤
Real love exists ❤️❤️💓💓💓
Ziyi is robbed of her Oscar nomination!!
El libro es maravilloso!
La película sumamente bella
Amoooooooo esse filme e sempre voltarei a assistir. Belíssima história...triste sim mas de uma luta incessante e do querer de uma Alma , ser amada e de ser reconhecida por seu grande e infinito Amor! Ô que é feito deles.Continuam a atuar???
One of the best movies I have ever seen..
And some men you love because of the security they provide.
Beautiful story
Regardless of the plausibility of these characters falling in love when Chiyo was a child doesn't matter to me. I can accept suspension of disbelief because the actors who portraited the characters were brilliant. It deserved the acclaim it received, and then some. Rob Marshall did a superb job as director.
This is my favorite part of the movie 🥹❤️
If he hadn't remember her from when she was a child this honestly would not be that weird.
He waited for her to become an adult..
What more can u ask for
another kind - far better than an empress or a queen I say !
Recitazione molto molto bella degli attori.
La storia è appassionante
Visto più volte il film . Complimenti per l'ottimo lavoro
favorite scene ever!
This is my favorite movie ❤ the story is truly amazing 👏
That doesn't scream daddy's issues at all.
Wanna get extra ooked? It was written by a white guy. So it screams “I want an ~exotic~ daughterwife”.
How's your wife and kids Sir?😑
2:19 "every step i have taken, since i was that child on the bridge... has been to bring myself closer to you"
the first time i heard that line, my god. my heart absolutely MELTED 🫠
I cannot forget this movies I love this movie so much also chiyo and chairman🥰🥰I wish this true in life ken Watanabe and zhang ziyi 🥰🥰
It's not for giesha to love, or to feel, she paints her face to hide it, her eyes are deep water...
Watching this scene it's painfully obvious that his acting is at a whole other level than hers.
Agreed. Ken Watanabe is a phenomenal actor.
This is my favorite movie ever and I lost it I miss it so much
It's true love 😢❤❤
これはすごいでした！
When they first met she is 9 and he is 45
حلم لن يتحقق ابدا لكنه لم ولن ينسى سيظل محفورا في قلبي في أعماق اعماقه
I know this movie is beautiful, but i always find weird that thy mt when she was a child, and also, they confessed their love in the end, but she still has to be a geisha?
what else would she be? she couldn't be his wife. he was already married with two sons
