It’s a true story base on the last Chinese
Dynasty - Ching’s emperor Pu Yi. Through out his entire life was control by
people surrounding him; he was not only simply just a symbolic but also a
puppet in a dilemma. The suffer of isolation in the Forbidden City since
childhood, and after the dynasty officially collapse was force to leave
Forbidden City and being threaten to be kill by the new age’s youngster. His
loneliness is well known in the servants’ eye, without able to help due to
different class.
Through out the film, who ever showed feeling
of loving Pu Yi was taken away from him. He was with the whole country with the
ability of desire what ever substance he wish for, also without a soul that are
able to help him through all his difficulties from a pure friendship.
Screens capture the glorious of the Forbidden
City also the loneliness and cheerless life in it. Walls around the Forbidden
City seal the difference between emperor and citizens even have the ability to
hear the sound from outside world with gun firing and people screaming. Pu Yi
cannot do a thing, because all the courtier around would cover with lies and
cut off all his source of information from the outside world.
The Last Emperor has a very precise on the history, but there was a
bit of question while looking through the film. Although, mostly are speak in
English, there are few dialogue in Mandarin and Japanese. Because I understand
the languages and the background isn’t much problem for me, does anyone who
watched the movie and was bother by such decision director made?
