Memoirs of a....wait what exactly is a Geisha?

That is an excellent question…and considering I just saw the movie I should be able to answer that for you…but I still can not. I did however go home and look it up on websters.com and turns out it’s a Japanese woman trained to entertain men with song and dance. Why then did they sell their virginity to the highest bidder? Are gesihas suppose to fall in love? And what exactly were they saying at the beginning of the movie…I do not speak Japanese..I need subtitles please.
Over all it took a while for me to get the point of the movie which seemed to go on for quite a while. The deceit of the women towards each other added some excitement to it I suppose but over all I thought it was kind of boring. I liked Madagascar better.
