'The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art.' The movie is very artistic indeed, visually and emotionally. It's pure absolute visual delight. We are brought to the geisha world, their beauty, their elegance, their skills, as well as their pain to not being able to "want", but to accept fate to be geisha.
The story is just very beautiful that leaves you feeling very emotional. It takes my heart away to just watch it. The movie is also very dark which really gives it more of a depressing feeling. The girl had to make through a lot to really be happy. The plot is truly mesmerizing. The story at the heart of this movie is poignant but beautifully told.
Overall, 90% for Memoirs of a Geisha, mainly for its fantasy (I'm a sucker at fairy-tale), its romance, its excellent costuming/setting and a superb soundtrack which result in a great visual and auditory treat.
