It's one of those that drag on for no reason and have no point to it... Who cares if they ban it, they probably did because it was such a shitty movie.

All these movies based on books should be banned in Kuwait and people should spend that money on reading the book. I appluad the Ministry of Informations actions on promoting reading and self education. I think this banning is great and I encourage it!

I really wanted to watch it! Oh well...guess its going back to my DVD dealer and getting the pirated copies. You see the trend? They ban movies from being played in public, so it promotes the selling of pirated copies....classic tale of supply and demand :) What???? I really wanted to watch it!

But I think they banned it because as moe stated that it has some moral issues like selling virginity to the highest bidder. And I believe that most here think of Geisha as prostitutes.

Why? I saw it and it was pretty mild, except for the part where they sell their virginity and stuff. But they don't <i>show</i> anything. What the..? Why?
