My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I heard that this movie was great. Kinda slow for this topic. Wasn't this movie released a little while ago?

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
Staggered release world wide... opens here next week.
Also the crux of the issue, is there a lack of english speaking japanese actresses of sufficient talent and/or does hollywood not really care about details?

Another benefit of being Canadian: we get to see movies a few weeks ahead of Americans. I don't know the reasoning behind that. Perhaps we're viewed as a sort of a test market for the U.S.
Anyway, my wife (who read the book first) saw the movie last week and she said it was excellent.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
I always thought geisha did everything BUT sex. I thought they were there to act as a hostess: serve a meal, discuss things important to the man (business, politics, his accomplishments), sing, dance, maybe draw a bath and wash the guy (which oddly, is not a sexually charged act in Japan) but no nookie.

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
Although I've read that rich & powerful codgers every now and then happen to have a geisha as a mistress - but then again, "he looked quite dashing with his pockets on" is a well-known phenomenom all over the world.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
Geishas were japanese hostesses with a ghigh level of education and also skill in dancing and other art that were there to "entertain". A lot of them were indeed prostitutes.
Re: Memoirs of a Geisha
According to some books I've read, Geisha did (do) many, many things.
