Just like the words of the director who exposed Puyi in the film, "You always think that you are the most unlucky person", Puyi's life can be said to be helpless. It is a magnifying glass of life that combines loneliness and misery. On the big mirror of troubled times. I have been thinking, what is the most "unlucky" life? Until the last moment of watching the film, I finally understood that human nature was submerged in the turbid world. The child wearing a red scarf asked Puyi to prove that he was the emperor (the line in the film is "Prove it"), Puyi climbed to the throne and picked out the grasshopper and gave it to the child. This time, he told us in the purest way that even the emperor should He has his own human nature instead of being buried or even disappearing into the turbidity. Compared with the last proof, that is, Pu Jie asked Pu Yi to prove that he is the emperor (the lines are also prove it), Pu Yi can only be ashamed and order the servant to drink it. The ink has proved twice before and after that, Puyi learned to return to human nature after ups and downs. In the turbulent and crazy times, Puyi was abandoned and used. I still remember that when he left the Forbidden City, he was the only one who did not look back. The Forbidden City is actually not there. Behind him, but around him, outside the palace is a bigger prison, and his later life has proved this to him. In the end, Puyi finally learned to come back. When he saw the crazy performance of the Red Guards, he sent out the most intriguing emotion - "they are so young", so young, Puyi also had the same experience as them when he was young, when faced with I think Puyi should have understood the most important point of the Red Guards' reversal of right and wrong: He is the luckiest person. Because he finally returned to human nature, he adopted that kind of proof method to prove himself. At the end of the film, Puyi's life was simply broadened. "He succeeded to the throne at the age of three and died in 1967." The last emperor was just a mortal.

China under the lens of Bertolucci is always the red country that exists in his imagination. The film is too westernized, but the fate of Puyi has been used to carry the changes in China for nearly half a century, and then explain the ancient Greek tragedy theme of the confrontation between man and fate. If a person’s life is a process of constant loss, Puyi is undoubtedly the one who has lost the most, because he once owned the entire China...

You can't keep up with all the departures, and you can't open all the doors. All people are liars.
