A dramatic history of Pu Yi, the last of the Emperors of China, from his lofty birth and brief reign in the Forbidden City, the object of worship by half a billion people; through his abdication, his decline and dissolute lifestyle; his exploitation by the invading Japanese, and finally to his obscure existence as just another peasant worker in the People's Republic.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
THe story of boy chose to be king or Forbidden Kingdom directed by godfather Italian director. Here why the Chinese people view the history. It embarrassed not know the story.
I watched the film three months ago.As a Chinese middle school student even I had never know the film before I watched it. I visited the Puppet Manchurian Palace when I was 12.Actually I want go there once again.At that time I even don't know who Pu Yi is.During this film I learned something about Pu Yi.He got lots of valuables and a country when he was three,then he grew up and could not control them.He did something want turn the tide.But all the things that he did were so weak.like the dust in the wind.They has gone with the wind. At the end of the film.I was touched.His life was striking one snag after another.He seems to me is the great historical personage.I hope the film will being brought back in China.
Im too late probably. The description of his life is so dramatic. He lives in outdated castle and live in luxury, suddenly become a puppet emperor then become a prisoner, then a gardener. It is like you live in ancient china and suddenly people use internet. Everything is so pretty and so pleasing to eyes. I don't understand the whole deal about politics but the characters often do something crazy and unpredictable sh*t enough to keep my attention. Im so glad that the prison governor survive cause he is like my favorite character suddenly and if it is George martin he probably just be killed off even though the real one still alive. And the spy is sassy too
Greetings from Lithuania."The Last Emperor" (1987) extended version which runs for 3 h 34 min is a truly great bold cinema. It's an epic biopic in every meaning of this word, and yet is not a traditional epic because there isn't very much action in this movie, and person described in this movie wasn't the one who could look really great in epic picture.This is a slow movie, and it's running time 3 h 34 min can be unforgiven for those who want to see this movie - take your time to watch this picture, because you may not view it in one time.Production values of "The Last Emperor" are magnificent. Famously shoot at locations it features one of the very best production of epic movies i have ever saw. The costumes, music, cinematography, direction - it's all was Oscar worthy - no wonder this movie took 9 Oscars - it's a fabulous creation.Overall, i won't lie - "The Last Emperor" is a true movie art and not an entertainment for mainstream audiences. It's a very long picture, and 3 h 34 min doesn't fly fast - this movie takes it's time to show us this story and pacing of this movie is not rushed, for some it might be unbearable to watch this till the end in one viewing. Nevertheless, this is a great movie.
