the storyline and the descriptions..
but apparently Arthur Golden was seen to be racist from the japanese government and was sued by the girl who he based the book on..
hrmm, here's a list of the cast...pretty disappointed about the fact that the main character sayuri mameha and a few other characters are played by chinese...not that I'm racist or anything...but I think it'd be better if a jap. played the role...neo_o said:The movie should be good.
The agreement was that he wouldnt publish the book until the geisha and several others died in respect that they may all be embarrassed by some of the incidents in the book. She did die, after the others and therefore it isnt possible for her to sue him really. Well at least thats what the long note at the start of my copy says.mz_bubbletea said:but apparently Arthur Golden was seen to be racist from the japanese government and was sued by the girl who he based the book on..

You lost me at Elton.Demandred said:Just my opinion and also a bit of a warning for those who haven't seen it, something I am entitled to, you don't have to kill me over it.
Seems you're also a true enemy of Elton
Oh... I thought you were associating me with Pink Elton... :SDemandred said:Your last paragraph reminded me of Geoffory Elton, the defender of objective history .
