The first film in history that was allowed to enter the Forbidden City in Beijing to be filmed on-site was based on "Dusk in the Forbidden City" written by Puyi's tutor Johnston as the original structure, with reference to Puyi's autobiography "The First Half of My Life" and other related works. A biographical film with a Western perspective, but a serious production. It is co-produced by the Italian Yanco Film Company, the British Dao Film Company and the Chinese Film Co-production Company. Chinese backgrounds, Chinese stories, and Chinese characters are mixed with Western concepts and techniques. The film reflects a magnificent era with the legendary life of a special person. The film's photography and costumes are particularly stylish, and Pu Yi's characterization avoids the stereotype of masking.

    This movie taught me what a "restrained shot" is. The restrained shot is that the director is a calm person, trying not to mix too many personal emotions into the film. That's it, two and a half hours is only too short to see. Isn't this movie five hours long? Bertolucci is great, especially the colors in his shots, can talk! After watching this film, you will understand why the great cause of the founding of the party and the great cause of the founding of the country can only get one star

    God made. Three hours is not too long at all, and no shot is wasted. Some people think this movie is too magical. But in that era, how could this group of people be reflected without the lens of magical realism! Zunlong is too beautiful, and there is arrogance in his eyes when he is desperate. It's a pity that the times make people. Finally, the metaphor of the cricket, the wife and the wife are appropriate and tearful.
