Memoirs of a Geisha

[AntiochusIII]

Strangely enough the movie was well-received in Japan, where fears that the Japanese people would "shun" the movie where Japanese are being played by Chinese existed before the movie's premier.

The Japanese might also have the detriment of being overwhelmed by MTV-Engrish a long time ago, resulting in Japanese people speaking a mixture of traditional Engrish from the usual "lost in translation" cross of cultures and even further screwed up Hip Hop-Engrish, therefore reducing the pool of Japanese actresses that can fluently speak English properly...
