Ironic?

By Jinal Shah ⋅ October 31, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

FreshMemoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden has been my favorite book ever since I first read it. Its made into a movie now. Exciting!
Only, the lead actress, who plays the famous Geisha, is Chinese.

I don’t really care, but I can’t stop wondering– would the movie be better had a Japanese actress performed the lead role?!

Oh and the movie is also releasing its line of cosmetics. Another fantastic promotional tactic!

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
