Lets be realistic.
On December 23rd is there any doubt that I will be in a movie theatre watching Memoirs of a Geisha? If you have doubts about this you have obviously missed my predilection for Asian women.
Hopefully the director, an American, will approach the film as the director of House of Flying Daggers approached his film. That movie was visually beautiful with lush colors and extraordinary landscapes. The director was willing to shift nature in a surreal way (i.e. snow falling during a sword fight in the summer) to emphasize the tragedy and tear apart the viewer's heart. The trailer for Geisha has the same feel.
