More than ten years ago, the film "The Last Emperor" was obscure to me. It could not be the content of the knowledge accumulated in my brain at that time. It was like a puff of blue smoke flying by. Now I appreciate this masterpiece again. The great director Bernardo Bertolucci combined with Zunlong, who is enough to shine in the history of film, to portray Aisin Gioro. Puyi, who is an epic masterpiece that transformed into ordinary people as above ten thousand people .

Puyi's whole life, coupled with Sakamoto Ryuichi's desolate music, is full of sadness. As the last emperor, the film narrates the real life of Puyi as a prisoner in the form of parallel lines, crossing the vicissitudes of life in the first half of his life. His ups and downs of life began when he was selected by another powerful woman, Yehenara Cixi, and then separated from his parents as a child, representing a free wet nurse who flew away like a butterfly, and his life was bumped and displaced again and again. The puppet emperor of the puppet Manchukuo, and the empress Wan Rong of Ming Yan's life withered in the bleak career of the times. Puyi, who was unwilling to decline, wanted to set off waves of the dynasty and the resurgence of fate. It was only one step away from "I" to "I", and he finally became a gardener before he understood that the most beautiful scenery in life is his inner calm and calm.

Looking back on this magical movie, the dynasty changed, no matter how Puyi struggled and escaped in his life, any changes he made were only in vain. Fortunately, Puyi, the last emperor, was able to escape the sword and the sword and get a good death. This is in line with the concept of the progress of the times. His ordinaryness kept him like the cricket that slowly walked out of the jar, and finally got a free and stable life.

Rolling torrents of history, how many ambitious heroes have been sent away by the waves of history, and the Forbidden City is still at dusk. The autumn moon and the spring breeze are blowing across his face, and he reunites with the long-lost throne. How many people and events throughout the ages have been turned into dust, and the conversation and laughter have disappeared.

Director Bertolucci, he left us such an excellent masterpiece. At the same time, he is a bystander with the most distant history, but he can leave behind the beauty of the oriental style, the long-lasting red walls and yellow tiles, the Forbidden City at dusk, the old-fashioned characters with pale faces, and the surging souls of various characters. Advance into the camera, explore poetically, and reach the inner voice of the characters.
