Has anybody read the book or heard about the movie that's coming out in December? I read it last year and was really suprised that there was actually a good story on Japanese culture by an American.There was a lot of controversy going on about having the main leads to be Chinese and having a whole mix of Asians in the movie. But since it has my lovely Gong Li, I don't care. Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh are all in it. With the exception of Yeoh, the others did a really great job for their first 'real' all english-dialogue movie. I never was fond of Zhang Ziyi. She's pretty but all her roles appear the same to me so I'll decide whether I like her or not in the future. But Gong Li! ^^ Her english is so good and she is so cool! She's my most favorite actress!
