Why did the last emperor win so many Oscars?

At the 6th Academy Awards ceremony, The Last Emperor won nine awards in one fell swoop, which caused a sensation in the world cinema. This multinational cooperative film with the theme of historical figures in China embodies the achievements of film art in scriptwriting, directing, photography, editing, music and art design. With a unique angle and structural arrangement, the film smoothly shows this legendary and historic event in China's modern history.

The success of the film is largely due to Italian director Bertoluzzi. Bertoluzzi's filming style is quite unique: he only writes movie scripts instead of story board, and the connection between shots is only based on feelings. This seemingly impromptu creative technique actually breaks away from story board's bondage, enabling the director to fully and freely experience the scene and atmosphere, thus making the film more artistic. This keen feeling, combined with his skill in music, made him have his own unique views on the style and aesthetic taste of film music.

Under his guidance, Su Cong, a composer from China, finished the music first, and the actors accompanied the music during the shooting, and finished it at one time. This kind of shooting technique makes the music and pictures of the whole film seamless and natural, which has produced good results. This is an important factor for this film to win the Oscar for Best Composition and Best Sound Effect. For the first time in the glorious history of Oscar for more than half a century, there was a China artist's name-Su Cong.

storaro, a famous Italian photographer who won the Oscar for photography twice for Apocalypse Now and The Red Rebel, successfully set off the theme atmosphere and won the academy award for best cinematography for the third time with his excellent photography techniques and beautiful pictures.

John Lone and Chen Chong, the famous movie stars, play Puyi and Wanrong, the queen respectively. The role of Puyi has a great change in age and psychology, while Wan Rong is also mentally disturbed from generation to generation. The performance of these two roles is very difficult. However, John Lone and Chen Chong completed the characterization with their profound understanding of the roles and superb acting skills. In the powerful cast, there are British actor Authour who plays Pu Yi's teacher, Zhuang Shidun, and China's famous dramatist Ying Ruocheng who plays the director of the War Criminals Management Bureau. They also contributed to the success of the film.
