Some are alive but dead

The classic work, I watched it for the first time today, 30 years after its release, I feel a little cold and a little scared? This film is directed by a foreigner. The biggest impression is that art has no borders. Different people may look at problems from different angles, but if the expression is smooth, there will be no communication barriers, but a refreshing feeling. The characters are morbid, and the color tone of the picture is dusky, chaotic and dark, indicating that the fate of the characters is not clear. The editing is done with double lines and crossed, adding a little interest. Personally, the film focuses on shaping the rift between Fu Yi and the Empress, a new-style couple in the old society, and ends in tragedy. This is also the climax part that touches me the most. The details are very precise, such as the guinea pig who was thrown to death; there are many echoes before and after, such as the red city gate that was closed twice in front of Fu Yi's eyes, and the grasshopper representing the truth, goodness and beauty. Spray lightly?

The Last Emperor quotes

  • Pu Yi, at 15: Is it true, Mr. Johnston, that many people out there have had their heads cut off?

    Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: It is true, your majesty. Many heads have been chopped off. It does stop them thinking.

  • Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: The Emperor has been a prisoner in his own palace since the day that he was crowned, and has remained a prisoner since he abdicated. But now he's growing up, he may wonder why he's the only person in China who may not walk out of his own front door. I think the Emperor is the loneliest boy on Earth.
