I found that there are many people who are angry with Puyi, saying that if Puyi's ancestral property is gone, he still needs a ticket to return to the Forbidden City. Everyone feels pity for Puyi. Is he pity? Not poor at all.

Liang Qichao said that the twenty-four histories are the family histories...

The last emperor, the most Chinese elements and the most Chinese stories, when placed in front of the camera of a Western director, highlights the quirkiness of the Eastern style.

The dim yellow is the twilight of the capital and the tone of the whole movie. This kind of yellow is especially...

The door opened and closed, and the last emperor was helpless. The last emperor and the grasshopper of the last dynasty reunited after half a century, and a free individual became an involuntary puppet. The road to national salvation is long and long, the mountains and rivers cannot be kept, the cultural relics cannot be kept, and the beauties cannot be kept either. Wenxiu has entered the misty rain, and Wanrong has gone to the smokehouse. He has been chasing, but he will never be able to catch up. A coward who once felt that he was superior to everyone, but now feels that he is inferior to everyone. Taking all the responsibility on his shoulders, only to discover that the individual has always been the hostage of history. The person who once reformed him later became a reformed person. From the worship of the people when he ascended the throne to the statue of Chairman Mao that filled the streets during the Cultural Revolution, it is like the reincarnation of history, and it is also a mockery of the fate of people by history. He has always been a victim of history, either used or abandoned, and the best outcome is to be forgotten, and years later, his life will be introduced to the tourists by the tour guide in a smooth and light tone. A silent sadness beyond words...

Arranged in the mode of one-person biography, it outlines the epic of a country with ease. Where there is only the emperor, and where it is limited to the last generation, it is about the whole of China. Bertolucci did the hardest thing—to tell the story from everyone's point of view. Everyone has honor and shame, and everyone is praised and criticized. Those historical entanglements and cultural self-imprisonment, collapse and recasting are all ridiculous, but they will only lead to endless sadness forever.
