Rating: 4/10 (21 March 2006)

This sweeping account of the life of Pu Yi (John Lone), the last emperor of China, follows the leader's tumultuous reign. After being captured by the Red Army as a war criminal in 1950, Pu Yi recalls his childhood from prison. He remembers his lavish youth in the Forbidden City, where he was afforded every luxury but unfortunately sheltered from the outside world and complex political situation surrounding him. As revolution sweeps through China, the world Pu Yi knew is dramatically upended.
This is a by-the-numbers movie when comes to making a film that will most likely get you the major awards.
If you like this film then check out the even longer version!
If you want a Big Movie event to see then Watch "Lawerence of Arabia". There is several elements from that film that the director stole from.
If you you cant find anything else to watch on TV read a book! Call a friend! Clean your closet! Plan your future! Dust! Do laundry! Clean the cat box! Clean your trash cans! Scrub the toilet! Check your smoke alarms! Call your mother.
Washing out the garbage cans is more entertaining!
Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
