The Last Emperor


The Last Emperor(1987)
Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci

Pu Yi is the last emperor of China.
When he was three years old,
he became the last emperor of China.
Since then no one can rebel against him in
the Forbidden City, until the army forced
him to leave there.
Because of him Emperor's blood, he couln't have any kind of
freedom.It is safe to say that he was a sport of fortune.

I don't think this movie is totally based on the truth of his life,
but at least I know how was it as a whole.
I have to say as a Japanese, some parts of this movie introduces
biased interpretation, maybe because this couldn't be made
without Chinese help.
As long as you know this, I can recommend this to you as a
very good text of the last emperor.
