Afterimage of the last generation

I have always thought that the Qing Dynasty was a great and tragic Manchu, straddling horses and wrestling the world, all the way to the customs and stationed in Beijing. Walking into the ancient city wall, the white jade and red bricks reflect the prosperous times of a dynasty and the back of a dynasty. Sometimes I feel too much. After the cruel Cixi returned to heaven, Puyi was powerless to bear the cruelty of an era. He grew up in the eyes of prosperity and matured in the eyes of desolation. He walked through the long war and saw through the cold gray wall. Through the wave of the Cultural Revolution, no one can understand him. All the expressions in the movie are just the director's imagination. The colors of bright yellow and cold gray are constantly exchanged, like a back and forth in a dream. Puyi in the movie is not only a pitiful protagonist, but also an individual who is constantly recognizing himself. His own special and ordinary no matter what kind of royal family he came from, he finally merged into the rolling world and into the tide of the times. He used to be the emperor who rode a bicycle back and forth in the Forbidden City and could not see the outside world. He eventually became a bicycle tour The rickety old man walking in the market is no longer special, no longer arrogant and arrogant or sympathetic and self-pity, but lives more self-contained and comfortable, so the aged Pu Yi found the dusty bamboo box in the dragon chair and handed it to the child's hand. The grasshopper climbed out of it. Pu Yi Disappeared in the Golden Temple, no matter how legendary the people are, they can't escape the passage of time. After so many years, the ancient China has appeared in front of the world with a new look. History is still left to future generations. My confession should be the famous "The First Half of My Life, My Second Half of My Life". I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. Even better. I really admire how a foreigner can write a piece of Chinese history in such a delicate way The director's hand is really ironic, but think about the ancient inheritance of China's thousand-year-old culture, whether it is brilliant or catastrophe, it is a wealth that Western countries can't match.

    After a life of legendary bumps, the young emperor who was once imprisoned in the Forbidden City became an old man with white temples. Go to the front of the dragon chair and say to the young and ignorant child, this used to be my home. The child said to prove it innocent, he stretched out his hand to search, in the old bamboo basket, the grasshopper was still singing cheerful songs when he was young. This Shaoguang has indeed been changed a few times a long time ago.

    An epic-like film, full of tension, masterful shots, skilled actors and proficient performances, restores Chinese history from all angles, with excellent details. This movie covers too many elements, costs a lot, has a large number of extras, and the scene is magnificent. It can be said to be an extremely good movie. It's just that the emotions about history and the profound meaning of the film can be dig deeper. Overall it is a shocking epic masterpiece

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!
