This
2005 Rob
Marshall American epic period drama film about a young girl being forced
to become a geisha is one of the most intriguing ones I've seen - only
the ending was 'too Hollywood' for my taste. It starred Zhang Ziyi, Ken
Watanabe, and Michelle Yeoh.The poster is very attractive as well - it
reminds me a bit of the art by Partick Nagel.
About me:
Dutchman, married to a beautiful and highly talented artist from Shanghai. PhD in chemistry, and a career in a large multinational energy company until early retirement. My hobbies: music, art, photography, chess, sudoku, word games.
About this blog: I started this blog in August 2006, just wanting to share what I considered interesting pieces of visual art and music. I suffered from blogging blues from time to time which made me re-start the blog a few times. I did another complete re-set in January 2022 with a change of types of post as another attempt to save the blog. The new format appealed to me, but I still ran out of steam in June 2023. Made another complete restart November 2024....
All pictures in my blog are hosted on blogger - if some do not show up (the red cross syndrome) it is a blogger hiccup. Right click and selecting "show picture" should do the trick.
