The Barbarian and the Geisha

The Barbarian and the Geisha 5.7

In 1852, U.S. Brigadier General Matthew Perry led a fleet into Puga on the coast of Edo Bay and asked to negotiate with the Tokugawa shogunate, historically known as the "black ship incident." Two years later, the United States once again sent the consul general to Xiada City, and Townsend Harris (John Wayne), who had been a businessman and had certain political ideas, was ordered to come. However, facing him is the cold Shimada Mayor Baron Tamura (Satoshi Yamamura) and a group of conservatives who support Japan's continued isolationism, Harris has been unable to see the shogun who lives deep in the shogun. In order to open the closed door of Japan, Harris worked in vain and failed all the time. In the dilemma, Tian Village sent undercover beautiful geisha (an Tengzi is acted the role of) and he also breeds subtle feelings …... As a burlesque actress and singer, an Teng Yizi has never had any acting experience before, and has not starred in any film since the completion of the film, but in this film, she behaves elegantly and shows the beautiful side of a geisha, which is all the role requires of her. Although John Wayne is a little stiff as the protagonist of a romantic movie, it is quite good to see him play such an atypical role.
