Chinese and Japanese bloggers outraged by Geisha film



A day before the world premiere of Steven Spielberg backed MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA in Japan, blogs in China and Japan have been buzzing with intense criticism, according to Reuters. The main issue: Chinese actresses hired to play Japanese geishas and the liberal historical use of geisha imagery and practices.
Cinematical, a great blog, also talks about this issue and Rob Marshall argues in favor of his decision.
