film review

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2013)

The movie The Last Emperor shows in the year 1987 as a 166 minutes film. The director of this film is Bernardo Bertolucci. He is an Italian director. The movie The Last Emperor is a China, Italy, the United Kingdom jointly produced movie. It tells the story of Pu Yi. He is the last emperor of China. This movie is the first fully cooperated with the government of mainland China and shot in mainland China to complete the production Western film since the Chinese Communist Party to hold the reins of government in 1949. This movie has created several Chinese film and television history: the first in the Forbidden City viewfinder feature film rather than the piece of information, and is completely cleared to remove the fence framing. This is the first time Bernardo Bertolucci tells the story of China. This film won the 1987 Academy Award nine awards. And this film is the first film about China which won the Academy Award. This film is the first time Chinese people did not make any restrictions of movie content. The AIXINJUELUO Pu Yi is the last monarch of the Qing Dynasty, since the emperor Qin Shi Huang established system. I think the movie The Last Emperor is a great momentum, rich colors, and the scene was spectacular, superb skills epic. The storyline of the film is according to the memory of Pu Yi. The film begins in the winter at the year 1950. In this year, Pu Yi as a war criminal from the Soviet Union was escorted back to China. Pu Yi believed that to survive, so he slipped into the bathroom, and attempted to commit suicide. Then Pu Yi caught in a memory. Then movie began to tell us the story of Pu Yi also in winter at the year 1908 as he was 3 years old. From the film we can easily find though Pu Yi is a monarch, but when he began to reign he was just 3 years old. So when held enthronement, he just pay attention to the grasshopper, he cannot see the civil and military ministers. Then the shot came back to he stand trial, accept the prisoner's life of transformation. So he met his brother Pu Jie, then he retrospect 40 years before. At that time, he knew that he had the supreme powers, so he began to wanton tease and maltreatment eunuchs. In the year 1919, Pu Yi began to accept the influence of Western culture. For this his life style has been changed. Then the shot came back again, as he was required to tell the whole his stories, then the film go on to talk about the things in the year 1924. When he was telling his stories, the shots always back to the prison. From these we can see the change of Pu Yi, he from a do not know how to wear clothes emperor to one can take care of himself and engage in light work of civilians. In the year 1959, Pu Yi was special amnestied, then he was working in the Beijing Botanical Garden. Emperor it represents a "royal prerogative" paramount right lines in the movie is: "Long live, you can do anything." But the identity of the emperor never bring true happiness to him, childhood, he is the most lonely child inside the walls, until he became manipulated by the Japanese puppet emperor, he never really be able to call the shots for themselves over, everything is not of his own choosing, even the woman he married. Pu Yi's life is the ever-changing period in China's political and ideological. From the color of Forbidden City oil painting of red and golden, the light of the National Government faint light and pale, the color in posters of the Cultural Revolution green and red all implied this. In the film can find something wrong, at the beginning of the film there appears a painting "to in Jinggangshan enter" in 1950, but in fact, this painting was created in the 1970s. Maybe because the director is a Italian, so he do not know in the Qing Dynasty, they call mother is eniang, not the mum. And in part of the year of 1931 in the film, you can find there appear simplified Chinese, but in fact at that time, China was using the traditional characters. I think these points appear was because they do not know too much of China, so they may not find these mistakes.
