It should be very impressive from the beginning to the end. In the winter of 1950, the Qing Dynasty abolished the emperor Pu and was taken back to China from the Soviet Union as a war criminal. After the train arrived at the Manzhouli Railway Station on the Sino-Soviet border, Puyi thought that his life would be impossible, so he slipped into the bathroom and attempted to commit suicide by cutting his wrists. The director of the China War Criminals Management Office ( Ying Ruocheng ) found out that the situation was different and hurriedly knocked on the bathroom door. The knocking on the door caused Puyi to fall into memory. Pu Yi woke up from his memory. He was also rescued by the director of management, and from then on began the life of a prisoner who was tried and reformed.

    Bertolucci is so expressive, the oriental charm was so manipulated by such a foreigner that it touched my tears. Even if Puyi is the son of the heaven, he can't stop the claustrophobia of the Forbidden City, the relatives who leave him and the closed doors. The music is amazing and the actors perform delicately (Chen Chong and Zunlong are awesome!) 2017.05.13 Rewatch

    Only European directors can make such films, and only Bertolucci can make the last emperor. Decades and even hundreds of years later, when politics becomes history, everything disappears, and the turbulent wave finally calms down. This movie that exudes the light of humanism will still be a supreme classic, because it is so beautiful. Yan, too sad, too mysterious, too fierce, too grand, and too small. 2018.12.31 Three visits to the archive

The Last Emperor quotes

  • Eastern Jewel: Of course, I'd love to be the Emperor's new secondary consort! If the post is available.

  • Amakasu: When an Englishman robs someone, Your Majesty, he becomes a gentleman. If he robs a lot, he becomes a knight. Do you imagine the British run their Empire as a charity? If India has to pay for the cost of its own occupation, so must Manchukuo.
