The film was visually stunning, but if you can conjure up kimonos, cherry blossoms and distant mountains in your own imagination, you won't miss a thing by reading it instead. IMHO, the book was much "richer" than the film, telling the geisha's story in more detail, more layers. Whichever medium you prefer, the story is worth the time you'll spend on it.

Yeah, I can see how this story could relate to reality in this world of mean yet meaningful people. Some have reasons for their personal positions, and some are just born to be a bitch, meaning reasons have been deleted or not found. I personally do not like strife in movies... it hurts me too much. My stomach gets in a knot and my heart cries because.... I can see myself and can not do anything about it... to suffer in silence is so hard to do, yet.... I hardly know of any other way. Great post Austin. Geesh, I hope my comment gets through. I have made a recent comment before and it is not here, on you Unbound poem. This is not solace Movies like this just breaks my heart.
