Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2008)

I like history and politics very much, especially some mysterious events of the history and the history of the Qing Dynasty . This film just provides me with such a good opportunity. This film is a mixture of the narration from Pu Yi in his prison term and the life when he was still an emperor, so at first, I was a little puzzled, just the same as the feeling when I was watching the "The Da Vinci Code".But a few minutes later, I catch the clue. In the estimation of the world, the life of an emperor is wonderful: luxurious, comfortable, sovereign In a word, it is ideal, and what all of us are dreaming of. However, it is an exception in this film. Yes, Pu Yi will never be worried about his physical life and he will never know what is the poverty, but his owning of these things is in expense of his freedom, which, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing to a person. Pu Yi was an emperor, but to be more exact, he was just a prisoner, a tool of those western governments. So Ifeel a little sympathetic with him.
