Steven Spielberg’s involvement in Memoirs of a Geisha
The film Memoirs of a Geishi is a sweeping saga about the life of a young geisha in pre-World War II Japan. It is produced by Steven Spielberg and scored by John Williams. Originally, the movie was slated to be shot in Japanese, but Spielberg ultimately opted to make the movie in English.
The film was partly filmed on a massive set in Thousand Oaks, California, which was a recreation of the early twentieth-century geisha district in Kyoto, Japan. It also included interior scenes shot at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Other locations included San Francisco, Moss Beach, Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, and Yamashiro’s Restaurant in Hollywood. Some scenes were also shot in Japan, at the Fushimi Inari Taisha in Fushimi-ku.
The novel also involves Sayuri, who meets the Chairman after her debut as Sayuri. The film doesn’t feature the death of Mameha’s Granny, but a character in the novel named Mameha is the main character. In the film, she is seen entertaining American soldiers, but it’s unclear if she ever really wished to entertain them.
The film’s Chinese release was controversial, especially given its historical context. Some Chinese viewers mistook geisha for prostitutes, and many felt that the film reminded them of the atrocities committed by the Japanese. As a result, the Chinese government pulled the film from its domestic release. In addition, some Chinese websites denounced star Zhang Ziyi as an embarrassment for China.
Memoirs of a Geishia stars Michelle Yeoh and Ken Watanabe. Michelle Yeoh, who played the role of a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies, also stars in the film. The film will be released in both Japan and the United States later this month.
The film’s score is composed by John Towner Williams. Born in Queens, New York, Williams has composed music for over 100 movies. Many of them were directed by Spielberg.
The official soundtrack to Memoirs of a Geisha
The official soundtrack to Memoirs of the Geisha was composed and performed by the legendary John Williams. It features the film’s original score and songs by John Williams, Yo-Yo Ma, and Itzhak Perlman. This album is the perfect accompaniment to this enchanting film.
John Williams has been very busy this year. In addition to his work on the last Star Wars movie, he’s also finishing up the score for Steven Spielberg’s Munich. But the musician has managed to find time to write an original score for Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of the Geisha. This film stars a pan-Asian ensemble and follows the story of an impoverished Japanese girl.
Williams has returned to film scores after giving up the Harry Potter series, but this time he’s focusing on more varied subject matter. His score for Memoirs of the Geisha is a gorgeous complement to the film’s visual beauty. This score is the antithesis of the typical screen score, and it is a perfect fit for the film.
