He is the most honorable prisoner

After watching the last emperor, my heart is desolate.

Pu Yi is full of tragic feelings, and the word "last generation" alone is enough to make people feel more embarrassed. In the face of the wheel of history, even the emperor could not resist its advance and could not grasp the direction of history. The emperor seems to be majestic in the world, holding the power of life and death in the world, but he can't control his own destiny. He was just like us, but a poor passenger in the carriage of history.

In his childhood, Puyi wanted to be a happy child, but people forced him to sit on the throne. As a boy, he wanted to be a real emperor, but was told he was just a symbol. When he was young, he wanted to create a country, but he became a sinner of the nation. After middle age, he thought he was a criminal, but was given the status of a civilian. Time and time again, he was tricked by fate and couldn't help himself. When later generations evaluated Puyi, the most used word was "puppet". However, Yuyu felt that Puyi was more like a "prisoner"! He is the most honorable prisoner.

Fate is unfair, and everyone plays a different role. Fate is absolutely fair, and everyone is passive when they play a role.

    There are some oriental imaginations that are a bit curious, such as the scene of Cixi at the beginning. This kind of strange feeling can still be encountered when many luxury movies are made with China as the theme (like the one that Burberry made before), but some are very beautiful. , especially the sense of time and "oldness" of the real Forbidden City, the shooting is really good. The deepest impression is that Zunlong is so beautiful, and he is really a good actor. Whether it is the arrogance of the noble son or the vicissitudes of life that have gone through the wind and frost, he has performed. Seeing his face being ravaged by the storm of the times is really too aesthetically shocking. Chen Chong is so nice.

    I used to wonder why the biopic of the last emperor of China could not be made by Chinese people (besides the reason for censorship, I found it after re-reading, the fundamental reason is that the theme of this film is "loneliness", and loneliness is viewed as objectively as possible (while Most people in your country are ashamed of being alone

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!
