Dark Feathers: Dance of the Geisha

This is a movie that proves that indie films work. I watched it on Amazon last night and truly enjoyed it. It is a unique story of oriental mystery power told in an engaging way. I found the characters compelling and the plots interesting. The Kate character was multidimensional and complex, unlike most of the oriental characters in Hollywood blockbusters. Love and lust, jealousy and curiosity -- it seems like a warning to never be lost in these emotions. My only complaint would be the fact that some of the fight scenes and sex scenes were not fully carried out. I suppose it was for the sake of keeping it PG 13. But all in all, a fun experience.

As someone who's familiar with both Asian and Western cinema, this movie was incredibly disappointing. I, an American, watched it with a friend from mainland China, and neither of us could follow most of what was happening. The lead actress shows absolutely no emotion throughout the entire film-honestly, a robot could have played her role, and you wouldn't have noticed a difference. Yet, somehow, every character she meets falls head over heels for her. Why? I found myself laughing at the dialogue, but not in a good way. The same monotonous score plays over and over again, making it even more unbearable. Easily one of the worst films I've ever endured.

I really appreciate the movie "Black Feathers" for the great time it gave me. It's not often that I get to watch a drama movie in the cinema, especially not a Hollywood blockbuster. The story is amazing, and it's a topic I really like. The main actress and director, Ms. Huang, is so elegant and beautiful. It was a fantastic movie experience! I would say "Dark Feathers" completed very well for a low budget production. Let's give props to every staffer who's put in hard work.

This movie has a complicated plot with several twists. But beyond the surface, we all want to be understood, loved or accepted by a higher power. Dark Feathers is more than a fancy symbol, it is the true essence of human nature. I think if you are attracted by other people, you are more likely is felling love with yourself. We think we cannot help to love another person more than anything, but in the fact, if you find love in your heart and truly accept yourself, then it is hard for you to be lost by beauty or beast. There is misery of why the dancing parters are all falling in love with the main role, no matter they are men or women. That's the part of this movie to me is a little bit beyond my understanding and knowledge about Geisha.

Dark Feathers: Dance of the Geisha stands as a testament to the power of independent cinema, imbued with an aura of mystery and a rich tapestry of cultural references. It delves into the intricate tapestry of geisha traditions in Japan, an enigmatic world that holds a profound allure for myself, and presumably for many others.

From start to finish, the film provides a singular, captivating journey that is as visually stunning as it is narratively engaging.

The filmmaker adeptly navigates a delicate tightrope between cultural sensitivity and the artful unfolding of the narrative. I eagerly anticipate the director Crystal Huang's future creative endeavors.
