I used to wonder why this film was not made in China, but now I am a little fortunate that it is not made in China.

A really good movie is like sadness but not sadness. It seems to be able to experience the twilight of a dynasty and the life of a puppet. Several times it seems that he is Puyi, but he can repeatedly jump between entering and leaving. Seeing in is as important as walking out. This is the viewer's experience; it is also Puyi's experience, the sudden arrival of the throne at the age of three, the Forbidden City that could not be entered, Ami and Wanrong could not go out when they left, and everyone may feel sad when they bought tickets to go home to the Forbidden City when they were old. , but I thought this was a good ending. He died in 1967. There was too much drama in the last emperor. Johnston, a Scottish teacher who was also a teacher and a friend, (author of Twilight of the Forbidden City), was kicked out by Feng Yuxiang In his own family, he was intimidated and appeased by Japanese forces in Shanghai, and he lost his beloved Wenxiu, and finally returned to the Northeast to establish a pseudo-Manchukuo state. Too many people regretted the decision, he missed the turning point of his fate. But no one can go against the trend of the times, even the emperor is no exception. It is a splendid life to be entered by blood and then pushed out by the times. It is not beautiful in the traditional sense, but it is also beautiful.

    Revisited. The shooting is really good, the big scenes, details, lighting, and scheduling are impeccable. But after all, it is not Chinese, and people will always make plays. Character modeling is also more facial.

    Don't lean on the railing alone, there is no limit to the country, it is easy to see other times and difficult to see.

The Last Emperor quotes

  • Chang: [to Reginald] The Emperor awards you with the order of the Ruby Hat Button, and with the right to be carried in your own chair, with four bearers.

  • Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: It would be conveniently sad if he becomes blind. To the expense, Your Excellency. To the cost of maintaining one thousand two hundred eunuchs, three hundred and fifty ladies-in-waiting and one hundred and eighty-five cooks to buying a hundred and twenty sable furs a month and three thousand chickens a week. To the fact that eight hundred and forty guards and employees of the household department, plus one Lord Chamberlain, care only about one thing! Filling their own rice bowls!
