"Being a Geisha is not about selling her body but her talent"

Movie Preview
Memoirs of a Geisha
i have waited for this film to be released since i heard they made a novel into a movie.... well, i missed to see it when it was showed in the theater, but then i have my own copy of it now....i was excited to watch the movie for it was one of my tastes, western style.However,after i saw the film, my likeness seemes to reach the end...it was a good movie, but other concerns implies to me negatively...
"Being a Geisha is not about selling her body but her talent"*im not sure if this is the right phrase but the thought is still the same" as one of those who watched the movie, it implies to me that "Being a Geisha is to sell her body using her talent"..why would i consider such..??? well the movie tells me so...first, she was like a poor thing that has to be developed in order to be a geisha..... she was bought and trained to be one... then whe she has all the talents she was used to pay her debts...then she was advertised.well to be clearly, her virginity was advertised 'the snake has not yet reach the cave' and everyone was longing for her first time since it was something 'sacred' and the highest bidder could have her first time... so 15,00 yen was the highest..such a low price for a priceless dignity... ok...so there is more...after the war..she became poor again..then one of her customers approached her to help him 'convince' the americans for a business..... well, she did.she became a geisha again... so on... the movie says that it was for love. she was in love with the chairman and she was determined to be a geisha just to see him....well, they say... u conquer everything for love...but..to what extent are u willing to give and able to give for love.? that is my search since i haven't been 'in love'
however, the movie in general for me was humanly in correct.women,in focus, should not be seeing themselves as persons who use their body as an object of money. a woman's organ is not a determinant of her worth. neither a woman should not let herself be judged by what is seen or touched. it isn't about religion that i speak of, rather, about a creature with purpose. her purpose is not to be used by people , both men and women, rather a deeper insight of it. she is not an object of pleasure to be longe by people in search of it. a woman is someone and not something.
