Das Zimmermädchen Lynn (2014)
Beautiful adult film
Adult film because it has some spanking or whatever. I think she just had a desire to see how a controlled little pain feels. But it's really the story of a sort of naive, beautiful, authentic young woman. She has a slow mind, but more than enough intelligence, audacity and heart to balance her life. Many funny situations. It's a light film (no heavy plot). It's very bright with lots of light, nothing dark to it, even though it's mostly inside the hotel. The humaneness is touching, she wants to know herself and exposes herself to chance learning situations. It has a quiet, subdued sound; the plot is very easy to follow, which is soothing. Some surprises, natural, ... She wants to know herself and see how far she can go. I really liked it.
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Deceived
After the publicity and the beautiful geisha poster I was expecting more from this movie. I felt deceived. The film is in English, and the Japanese actors speaking English with an accent felt very unreal. I sat and watched but my emotions were never engaged. Not even when young Chiyo escaped though the rooftops. I don't know what was wrong since I'm not an expert but I expected more beauty, more art. Isn't that what geishas do? Art, music, literature, sensuality, beauty, happiness, smiles
There's a fire in one of the scenes and it is pure fantasy. It kept going for the longest while without anybody putting it off and I don't remember seeing anything burnt. One of the previous opinions says the film was thirty minutes too long. I didn't find it long, but what I was waiting for never arrived. When the film ended I thought "is that it?" and left the theater head down avoiding to see anybody who would ask me what I thought of it.
