Who is to blame? Did the last monarch cause the country's demise?

The Last Emperor is a Sino-foreign joint venture film, which won nine awards, including the best film at the 60th Academy Awards. Such a high honor shows the Excellence of this film.

As the first film in China allowed to be filmed in the Forbidden City, although it tells the history of China, it was shot by Italian director Bernardo and invested by China Film Studio. From a foreigner's point of view, it's interesting to see the last years of Qing Dynasty in China. The director made the film very well, without the well-known court intrigue. Although there are concubines, the protagonist is still Fu Yi who lives alone on a high throne and expresses it everywhere.

Fu Yi, the last emperor, lived in that era. He got the throne that was hard to get before. He seemed to get everything he wanted, but he lost a lot for it. His troubles of leaving the Forbidden City because of his childlike innocence, freedom of life and special status are vividly shown in the film. It is magnificent and colorful, but it is hard to hide the gloom. Isn't this a true portrayal of China at that time? The country is vast, but it suffers from war.

John Lone, who plays Yi Fu, properly balances the transformation and complexity of the role of the last emperor, and makes this role full and vivid with superb acting skills; Vivian Wu, who plays Wen Xiu, is also a highlight of this film. From the early dark world to the brave pursuit of love in the later period, the transformation from a closed Manchu aristocrat to a free civilian was realized. There are many other outstanding actors, such as Chen Chong and Peter O'Toole. In fact, every role in the film is essential, and every actor's superb acting skills are an important factor in the success of this film.

I can't find any shortcomings or shortcomings in this film. Perhaps the only drawback is that this is a China historical film, but the protagonist always speaks English. It perfectly integrates the individual into the history of China, taking Fu Yi as a point, reflecting the distortion and complexity of human nature in the lifestyle era, and the soundtrack of the film is just right. The collision between the violin and the guzheng, and the collision between the west and China, is the film itself and China itself at that time.
