Geisha.... whatever.

Leave it to Hollywood to cast mostly Chinese actors in a film that takes place in Japan. I have not seen this film yet - just watched the preview and I'm bracing myself...anyone who's sitting next to me (I pity them) will probably be the recipient of unsolicited and gratuitous comments like "I can't believe they did that..." Given my background, I am unfailingly critical of anyone's attempt to depict and dramatize Japanese culture. This movie is just begging to be ripped apart. It looks like fish in a barrel to me!
