I finally got a chance to watch Memoirs of a Geisha, and I have mixed feelings about it.

I don't have the energy to write it in detail, so I'll just list the things that REALLY bug me about this movie.

Why are they all speaking English with an accent? The people should be speaking Japanese, but because we aren't, the language is translated on the fly. If they speak in broken English, it would essentially mean that it is their Japanese that is poor, no?

If they are speaking Japanese, how is it that they can speak English as well to the Americans? How is that possible?

Then there's the fact that Mameha, played by Michelle Yeoh, degrades into a Chinese accented English in the end, which completely throws me off.

....I still liked it, even if it was kinda long. posted by losir at 3:13 AM
