Has anyone seen this? I know it wasn't all real but wasn't Hatsumomo's(Gong Li) hair the most amazing hair you've ever seen? Knee length , straight and black. It looked sooo striking. I wish I could get screencaps. |

I can hardly believe that, she looks so great. Both she and Ziyi Zhang are
beautiful actresses. ------------- Don't let the man get you down 1c MC iii Dark Brown, 23" Goal: Waist |

My best friend years ago was Japanese. He was 24 and had grown hair from shoulder to waist in a year. He was also 130 pounds and all of our other Japanese friends thought he was "fat". ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

Beautiful hair, but no geisha would ever wear her hair down in public. 
Was anyone else annoyed that they got Chinese actresses to play Japanese women? Why not Japanese actresses?  ------------- |

YES, that was so weird. I noticed it right away....wasn't the lead actress the one from crouching tiger? Or house of flying daggers? My friend and I talked about that after the movie - we were sort of disturbed that they didn't cast Japanese actresses...... -------------

| Well, Hollywood doesn't always use Germans to play Nazis in WW2 movies. |

Yeah but Japanese and Chinese have completely different characteristics. That said, I think they did a brilliant job of making Gong Li look Japanese. She didn't look out of place. ------------- |

I would have like to have seen Chiaki Kuriyama (the actress that played
lucy liu's little minon girl in Kill Bill vol. 1) play the main character instead of Ziyi Zhang.  ------------- Don't let the man get you down 1c MC iii Dark Brown, 23" Goal: Waist |

Anyway, back to the hair...I wonder how long Gong Li's hair really is and
how much of that length is extensions. ------------- Don't let the man get you down 1c MC iii Dark Brown, 23" Goal: Waist |
