my world is as forbidden as it is fragile; without its mysteries, it cannot survive.
My thirst for a good show for tis month prolonged until today. i quenched tt thirst at 3.45 pm today with ling su and mich.
no other movies so far have triggered in me a sense of gratification like this.
it didnt fall short of my expectations of it to be a realistic documentation of a geisha's life.
it stays true to the book (according to those who have read it). niwae shasha, im not gonna be done with the book any sooner so if ure patient enuff to wait good for ya. haha. all i have to say im a slow poke in my own right, too bad.
it is an intoxicating and riveting portrayal of the hidden world. the life of geishas are well-translated. where love is scorned as illusion and trust is no longer a sanctuary for them to behold. it is a world of deceit and facade where beauty is prime but beneath it all lies jealousy. the okiyas (teahouses) are like the embodiment of jeopardy where geishas become each other's subject of detest to get to the pinnacle.
on the whole, Gong Li should be lauded for living up to the character of Hatsumomo in a very evil panache. Shes my favourite actress in the movie by far.
Memoirs of a geisha deserves the credits.
its the kind of movie that is of high-sounding quality on its own without having to be further beefed up by the well-acclaimed novel.
the novel is obviously a must read.
to my disbelief, the da vinci code wasnt as enthralling as how the novel captures it to be upon seeing the trailer before movie starts. i expected a more dark and foreboding movie but it turned out to be rather cocky. for some reason the trailer looked like a scavenger hunt with a guy in a black cape, a priest n some other ppl running in the background.
life paces itself way too fast that ppl have to change so much to adapt.
maybe this explains the changing cycles of inter-dependence.
sounds selfish at most times.

shes wishing she could just be those sliver of stars that will embrace the skies and shine the dulls of the night
shes wishing she could obliterate the memories bad and fugly
shes wishing she could be the one to throw the universe off kilter
shes wishing she could be the lover that drank every word and gesture and hold on to intensity long enuff
