Just came home after watching "Memoirs of a Geisha"...
.
It's 3.33 am now (I'm serious!) and I lie awake, thinking of the movie. I mean, it's not like the movie had such a greaaattt impact on me, but really, itwas better than expected. Maybe cause I wasn't expecting much, due to the "only-average" reviews. But I thought it was quite good. Well, partially because I'm a hopeless romantic. I am a person who thinks with my heart, and not with my head. I can't deny that I was touched by her determination and sacrifice, to go all out on her journey towards her one and only love.
.
It just got me to thinking... (spoilers ahead, but I'm sure ALL of you would have watched it already)
.
What if he never came back for her? Would she have waited forever? Just not knowing what's to happen next. Not knowing if he'll ever come looking for her one day? Not knowing whether he'll ever find out how she trulyfeels about him all these years? Would he ever have found out that she's the person she is today, because of him?And neither will she ever know how he feels.
.
But really, I couldn't help but wonder. Would she have waited? Years, after years, till she got all old and wrinkley? Or would she have put it all in the past, dragged her sorry ass and moved on with life, making an honest living??
.
Well, we hear her story today. But what about all the others whose dreams did not come true? Those who never had the chance to pursue their love, their ambitions? Those who never fought, or maybe... those who did, and lost. Whatever happened to them? To their lives?
.
Women today, have we changed from those times? Are we fighting for what we want? Or really, are we still succumbing to fate? Do we truly have a choice at the end of the day?!?
.
HhMmm, maybe I'm just pondering too much over nothing. Or maybe I'm not. Perhaps it's a totally valid question to be asking myself.

Wuching: hhmMmM... Why not??? :)
Master Peebody: Heheh... Wokie :) Hope you'll enjoy it.
Mid night show eh. I have not watched the movie, but from your mini-review sounds like not my type of movie :)
Haha... anyway, may just watch it on a DVD then.
Jacky: yeaps. midnite movie indeed. But oh, don't let my review deter you from watching it. I'm no movie critic anyway. And those were merely my thoughts, that was sprouted by the movie. Not the movie itself :) So yeah, but it entirely up to you whether you wanna catch it :)
mei,
Guess you are being hopelessly romantic. The story is beautiful, but somehow, I think Zhang Ziyi's acting sucks big time. Hence the movie looks stupid to me than romantic.
just my two cents.

CY: Hehehe... but, but... she's kinda pretty. I think Gong Li's acting wasn't that bad. Although their English suck :(
Master Peebody: Yeah, it's so weird for a jap to be speaking in english to another jap :)
