This "last emperor" is different from the last emperor in the eyes of the Chinese because the director is a foreigner. In a sense, Westerners understand the hearts of Chinese people better than Chinese people. This is a person who is burdened by the name of the emperor and crushed by the wheel of history in the eyes of Westerners. The film restores the individual to history, showing the complex form of human nature under the pressure of history, with distortions and struggles; the pressure and erosion of history on individuals is almost a psychological epitome of an era. It is not so much about Puyi, It is better to say that it is about Puyi's era and the people shrouded in that era. What Zunlong interprets is Puyi with the most historical tension.
In the film, Xiao Puyi's nurse was taken away, he ran out and walked through the entire Forbidden City, but he couldn't find it anywhere. In the end he cried: "She is my butterfly..." I couldn't help but shed tears, I feel sad for this little emperor, he is just a child~~~
