Memoirs of a Geisha Movie (2005)
Nitta Sayuri reveals how she transcended her fishing-village roots and became one of Japan's most celebrated geisha.
In the 1920s, 9-year-old Chiyo gets sold to a geisha house. There, she is forced into servitude, receiving nothing in return until the house's ruling hierarchy determines if she is of high enough quality to service the clientele -- men who visit and pay for conversation, dance and song. After rigorous years of training, Chiyo becomes Sayuri, a geisha of incredible beauty and influence. Life is good for Sayuri, but World War II is about to disrupt the peace.

This is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen in my life!!! The screen shots are amazing...and the story line is tragically beautiful. I enjoyed the realism and sensuality of the storyline. I truly felt this movie was a spectacular masterpiece.
I don't cry watching movies very often.. but this one made me cry.. (and think)
Good movie, better book...
Was a beautiful story and the characters are unforgettable.
I read the book and it was great very intense. The move left out so much it sucked.
Japanese don't like the movie.The producer didn't know that Zhang Ziyí is Chinese. He insults the Japanaese history!
I realized how ignorant western people are.The original writer
is American and also the sotory is not true.Geisha is not prostitute.
