(单词翻译:单击)
Based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Golden, Geisha guides us into this fascinating Japanese subculture.
Set in the late 1920s, the story begins with 9-year-old Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo) being forced to leave her family and work in a geisha house.
Although strikingly beautiful with slate2 blue eyes, Chiyo has no interest in the lifestyle, especially since she is cruelly treated by the jealous geisha Hatsumomo (Gong Li).
But that changes after she meets and falls for the good-hearted Chairman (Ken Watanabe). After he shows her kindness, she decides becoming a geisha will be her ticket to being with him.
Under the tutelage of mentor3 Mameha (Michelle Yeoh), Chiyo blossoms into the legendary4 geisha Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang), who captivates the most powerful of men. Still, she secretly hopes the man who once showed her compassion5 will come and take her away.
