@@franz3810 the costumes are far from accurate but they are stylized for movie and can be interpreted in multiple ways. Mameha does not need to always be in the spot the same way Hatsumomo does, she dresses simply and elegantly because she's 'independent' geisha who can afford her 'freedom' the way other geisha and maiko can never achieve, according to the movie, while Hatsumomo still lives under the rule of Mother even though she is beautiful and well-paid geisha.

In the book is clarified that Mameha did dress simple to help Sayuri shine. It was part of her plan because she new that Hatsumomo couldn't do that for pumpkin and that will affect her, making Sayuri more succesfull.

The Chairman pretty much spelt it out at the end, hoping for Nobu to have a chance at peace and happiness. Despite the fact that this is growing story of compassion and love between Chiryo and the Chairman, Nobu is an unwitting obstacle, though not a malicious one because the story shows honour and respect for his character.

It’s not a Japanese historical documentary. It’s a Hollywood movie based on a fictional book written by an American, filmed in Los Angeles, California. They want it to do big at the box office in the US which means the less amount of subtitles the better. Also why take the extra step of teaching the Chinese actors to say their lines in Japanese only then have to subtitle the whole movie for the target audience of Americans.
