Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

e-37206 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.

Filipe Neto This film tells the life of the last Chinese emperor, Pu Yi. Crowned as a baby, he lived a life of limitless luxury but was eventually expelled from his throne by the revolution of 1911. Imprisoned in his palace like a bird in a golden cage, he saw the decay of his country and the dramatic changes of Republican China from the inside of the Forbidden City. Expelled by the Communists years later, he spent a good part of his life trying to regain his throne, and the rest of it imprisoned in Chinese reeducation camps that transformed him into an ordinary man. There is undoubtedly a poetic beauty in the transformation of the main character, and the film can make us feel the changes in his personality, as well as the changes of his former empire. The film suggests several things about him and the imperial family that I do not know if they are truth, like the apparent lesbianism of one of the emperor's wives and their use of drugs. Bernardo Bertolucci is a director that I normally do not appreciate, but I recognize in this film many qualities. The actors did a very regular and interesting performance. John Lone was perfect in the role of the emperor, but even brighter was Peter O'Toole, in a role that, otherwise, with another actor, could be overly subdued. The film's set-ups are glamorous and go a long way toward creating a Hollywood-era epic movie feel. Nevertheless, the comparison of this film as "Seven Years in Tibet", by context, time and closeness, is more pertinent than with any other film.

grantss The story of the last emperor of China, Puyi. We see his childhood, the build up to him becoming Emperor, how the position is thrust upon him at a very young age and taken away, through revolution and forced abdication, when he was still a child. His life from then on is a roller-coaster ride, with many threats and ordeals.Interesting, edifying drama, sensitively told by director Bernardo Bertolucci. Quite an emotional journey.Lavish production, with colourful costumes and large sets. Not perfect. Does feel a bit slow at times.Won the 1988 Best Picture Oscar.
