This movie was a beautifully created film.  The cinematography alone made it well worth the cost of a ticket.  The costuming was beautiful, artful and relatively authentic.  As long as you are/were willing to sit through the length of the movie, it was very well done.\n\nI do agree that the use of a Chinese actress versus a Japanese actress was not the brightest call, but unfortunately, most Americans really don't recognize the differences (very sad, but also true.)\n\nI loved the story, though now that I have it on DVD, I tend to skip over the beginning where she's a child (except for the flavored ice scene - it's just beautiful).  I really love watching the development of the characters.\n\nWhile a lot of people think it isn't worth renting over and over again, let alone owning, I see it as a beautiful rendition of a lost part of history.  And to think - the book was written by a man! Go figure!

I had a friend who missed her plane that day American Flight 11, she still won't fly. After it happened me and my college buddies drove all night to get to ground Zero and help move rubble hoping to find survivors.\n\nI've healed pretty well since then i saw the film I though it was an excellent film and feel that all those who feel up to it should go see it.

It is a rather interesting movie.  Sort of a fish bowl outlook on life.  Below is a link to the official site, for anyone that is interested.

Yep, I saw it. Like the others said, it's pretty funny and it gets pretty sad toward the end.\n\nOverall, I liked it a lot.

I have not seen this film, but two of my friends have seen it and they liked it very much - these friends are big fans of classical music. So, if you love classical music, probably you will enjoy this film. I read the entire New York Times review and there is no mention of other classical works. I think the film is really just about Beethoven working on his 9th Symphony.\n\nThis is from the New York Times review of Copying Beethoven:\n\nThe presentation of the Ninth is reason alone to see the film. Onscreen is the Kecskemet Symphony Orchestra of Hungary, but what we hear is a 1996 Decca recording of Bernard Haitink conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Purists may object to this strategy, but Ms. Holland's filmmaking in this scene is so sensitive that only quibblers will notice if the bowing doesn't match the sound. With her cinematographer, Ashley Rowe, and editor, Alex Mackie, she orchestrates bursts of images and metronomic camera pans that become a visual counterpoint to the music's propulsive and flowing tempos, its rushing violins and soaring voices. Every so often the camera focuses on one of Beethoven's hands, the fingertips stirring the air as if rustling the notes. The world falls away, blissfully.

Although the movie is not *awful*, it is not as good as the book. You should probably see it, but wait until it comes out in the cheapie theatres- don't spend a fortune.\n\nThe movie superficially skips over the first 2/3 of the book. I felt sorry for my friend who went to see it with me (she didn't read the book), because I was worried that she would be "lost" or that she wouldn't like the story the way that I did, because the movie didn't spend enough time illuminating the personalities of the characters, their relationships with eachother, and their motivations- the first 2/3 of the whole production seemed very shallow. \n\nThe leading (adult) actress was weak for the part. The child actress for Chiyo/Sayuri was quite good for the part. I wished that they would have just put  her on stilts as the adult lead left much to be desired. \n\nThe most endearing part of the book to me was Chiyo/Sayuri's voice in the first person. In the movie, she narrated a few lines, but that was it. The movie did not have C/S's soul the way the book did.\n\nThere were a few little irritating things about the movie, one example being that the difference between geisha and prostitutes was not even examined until well past the first hour mark.\n\nThe movie was mostly faithful to the book, overall, as faithful as it probably could have been regarding the way events happened.. except for the "selling scene" at the beginning. It's a 2.5 hour movie. It would have had to have been excruciatingly long to have explained everything the way the book did.\n\nMy friend, by the way, enjoyed it somewhat, but expects to like the book better. Even to her, it seemed a bit shallow.
