A girl who sees people too thoroughly (but the story behind her is not thorough)

Pippi movie/a wonderful movie recommendation every day

Once, a very popular song in Tik Tok brought a little girl back to our sight.

I believe many people were shocked by her.

Smile, you can see the stars and the sea in her eyes.

This video is a fragment of the 2005 film Memoirs of a Geisha.

But this song "Hold My Hand" has little to do with the movie.

But this music is really in tune with this video, so many people think it is the theme song of the movie.

Compared with songs, this little girl's face value is quite attractive, which I think is a pity.

Those watery gray eyes make people fall in love with her.

This unusual color also indicates her extraordinary life. It is because of these special eyes and her beautiful beauty that her fate has been replaced.

Her name is Chandler Ben, the daughter of a poor fisherman, and her parents are very weak. In desperation, she and her sister were sold to Kyoto as geisha apprentices.

At this point, she began a legendary and wandering life.

It is estimated that many people will not notice "geisha" and "geisha". However, the difference between these words is very different.

1920 during the boom, there were thousands of geisha in Japan, all from doctors, lawyers or dignitaries.

The value created by a famous geisha is enough to support a whole house.

The film Memoirs of a Geisha tells the story of Hanazono Sakura's difficult process of becoming the first geisha.

The life of one or three women. Memoirs of a Geisha tells the story of a Geisha memoir (played by the famous child star Zhang Ziyi), as well as the story of a Geisha Chutao (played by Gong Li) and Zhen Meiyu (played by Yang Ziqiong).

If Zhang Ziyi plays a role, then Yang Ziqiong plays a group of people, and Gong Li represents an era.

After reading the comments of some fans and friends, most people will say that in this movie, Gong Li's acting completely kills Zhang Ziyi.

Is that really the case? Pigou doesn't think so. After all, they are all recognized as "courting women" in Zhang Yimou, and there is absolutely no problem with their acting skills.

In that case, Ang Lee wouldn't say that Zhang Ziyi made Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when he was only about 20 years old.

If it was "Seconds Kill", Zhang Ziyi would not have conquered foreign audiences and won the Golden Globe Award and the British Film Academy Award nomination by virtue of this film in an era when the nomination right was certain.

Gong Li is really domineering and her acting skills are brilliant. At least she must be nominated for best supporting actress.

Gong Li's Chu Tao aura killed Zhang Ziyi's Memoirs of a Geisha rather than acting.

? from = PC " style = " height:auto； "> Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi played opposite each other several times in the film, which really didn't leave any residue of Zhang Ziyi seconds, but it is reasonable to combine the different backgrounds of Chu Tao played by Gong Li and the memoirs of a geisha played by Zhang Ziyi.

First of all, Hatsumomo is a top geisha at a high-profile moment in her career, while memoirs of a geisha are apprentices from humble origins.

As far as personality is concerned, Chu Tao is the kind of arrogant personality;

The memoirs of a geisha need that kind of timid feeling, which is also an exploratory growth for the role.

When she was the Hanazono Sakura generation, she didn't make public or resist.

She confronted Hatsumomo, tried to escape, tried her best to break free from the cage of the house, and prepared to escape with her sister.

But none of this worked. She was quiet when she fell from the roof.

From here on, she also grew up carefully, because she was burdened with huge debts, which required a lifetime of hard work and even could not be repaid.

But when she occasionally met the president on the bridge, she had new hope for life.

When Hanazono Sakura saw the President again when she grew up, her initial heart became more firm.

This firmness didn't open until the end of the film: every step I took was to get further away from you! This is a very touching confession, but it makes the feelings hidden in the bottom of my heart seem very depressed, which makes the story more full.

In contrast, Hatsumomo is free of love.

But as a geisha, you cannot have love.

However, Hatsumomo chose a humble man and tried to yearn for love.

As far as their identity is concerned, it is really difficult to find a man who really loves each other. Perhaps it is the popular expectation that has changed her mind a lot.

If the first peach blossom played by Gong Li is a fire ignited by jealousy, then the memoirs of a geisha played by Zhang Ziyi is a calm lake.

When Hanazono Sakura first came to buy a house, Sang's mother told her that water can put out the fire, so it is always safe to buy a house. Unexpectedly, it was a prophecy, but Hatsumomo's anger eventually destroyed the house.

The moment Tao left, she walked so decisively that her eyes no longer had the original spirit. Then the outbreak of World War II also announced the decline of the geisha era.

The memoirs of a geisha are also in this era of war, and it is difficult to get out of the emotional entanglement between two men.

Second, regardless of the plot, the photography in the film is really exquisite and is a model of an educational film. That year, it also won three awards: academy award for best cinematography, Best Fashion Design Award and Best Art Direction Award.

What the film wants to reproduce is the prosperous scenery of Japan in the 1930s. However, such a scene is hard to find in Japan today.

As a result, the whole crew rebuilt a new Kyoto in the studio in California, turning a green pasture into a splendid geisha area, which took 14 weeks.

Under the exquisite packaging, it is the western world's spy on the eastern civilization. It is a mixture of China logic, European plot and Japanese background.

At the beginning of the issue, it encountered great resistance in Japan, and the Douban score just passed the 6-point passing line.

However, on the whole, Memoirs of a Geisha is a movie with heart. Although there is a plot that does not conform to history and a geisha who can speak English makes people a little playful, we can still get a glimpse of that glorious era through the film.

Compared with the shoddy production of most films at present, it can stand out completely, and it is reasonable to improve the score. Now Douban has risen to 7.4 points.

So, come and talk to Pigou. What is its rank and status in your mind?
