  • Pu Yi was handsome playboy,especially John lone actually.And the music is awesome!!

  • @fisteberg I still can't believe that John lone was in Rush Hour 2

  • Poor second wife.She didn't feel desired but the last wheel of the cart.So sad she could'nt divorce the Emperor.Pu yi became very tyrannic."I want to divorce"

    "NO.No one can divorce me,the emperor".Fortunately she got away.

  • X Eastern Jewel , O Eastern Matahari =Yoshiko Kawashima

  • 05:02 cutting scene: Entrance of South Manchurian Railway Hotel, Dalian.

    Director said "WOW, these building is very beautiful! No need back modern building!!".

    these building = age of Manchuria, modern building = age of Now :-)

  • Chiang Kai-shek gave his wife a "pearl neck-less" for her birthday. LMAO.

  • that gurl in leather....

  • they should have slaughtered the entire manchu population early on and not make them emperors -.-

  • @SpiritWanderer91 That would have been a little difficult since the Manchus conquered and ruled China from 1644.

  • @MrOamia im not sure ifs really because its difficult but part of it was to create a nice image for the Japan as if they were helping China to reconstruct by putting puyi back as emperor, and just part of the long range plan to take over entire china really.

  • Anyone can tell me who is singing the japanese song at 8:27? If I'm correct, this song is called 船頭小唄 (sendou kouta), but I really want to know who is singing this version. Thanks.

  • can someone explain to me what type of role does the jap guy at 1:56, do?

    he looks all serious and kind of sinister.

    why is he looking like that, at the chinese empress second consort?

  • @reiAYANAMI1992

    He is a Japanese Spy from the Japanese Embassy where the Emperor was living in exile. Also, he don't like the chinese people at all.

  • @Jbrit1001 Thank you so much sir for your answer. So...he don´t like chinese people? We can say that he is a total racist?

    Another question is that...he had an affair in this movie with the japanese spy easter jewel...but she was actually born in China. So how in the world is he going out with her, when she is actually chinese. And he don´t like chinese people. I got confuse in this part. I hope you can help me sort this out cause i´m kind of lost. Thank you, and i hope you can reply me soon :)

  • @reiAYANAMI1992 Eastern Jewel (Aisin Gioro Xianyu, later Yoshiko Kawashima) was born in China, but she was a member from Manchu royal family, cousin of Pu Yi (the Emperor) and also a japanese spy. Mr. Amakasu (Masahiko Amakasu), the role of Ryuichi Sakamoto, in fact was an opportunist in the Manchukuo vs. China war. Racist? Maybe. The movie makes a fantasy about their involvement. See Wikipedia - Amakasu Masahiko and Yoshiko Kawashima.Tks.

  • @reiAYANAMI1992 Eastern Jewel (Aisin Gioro Xianyu, later Yoshiko Kawashima) was born in China, but she was a member from Manchu royal family, who doesn't consider themselves chinese; cousin of Pu Yi (the Emperor) and also a japanese spy. Mr. Amakasu (Masahiko Amakasu), the role of Ryuichi Sakamoto, in fact was an opportunist in the Manchukuo vs. China war. Racist? Maybe. The movie makes a fantasy about their involvement. You can find more in internet.

  • @Jbrit1001 You seem an awesome guy! love your answer!. I searched for more information in Internet about this two characters and i found alot of Info. But i´m more interested in this two characters from the movie (even though they are portraying the real characters)

    Another question i have is...that...Masahiko Amakasu all he care was about him? What i mean by this is that...he didn´t really care about Pu yi and his wife?

    In this movie they somehow described him as sinister...?

  • @reiAYANAMI1992 Oh, thanks - we are talking about of a favorite movie of mine. No, he just care about him. Amakasu have a fake interest "to protect" the Emperor, but all he want is power (and he takes the power humiliating Pu Yi - part 9, 6:00 to 13:02 - just remember Pu Yi was called "Puppet Emperor").

    Mainly the Empress HATES Amakasu; she don't like his behaviour but don't describe him exactly as a sinister man - see 9:30 to 10:24 and see the part 8 (13:07 to 15:02).

  • @Jbrit1001 Thank you again sir. Another thing that i didn´t understand is when the empress tells eastern jewel ´´and...Amakasu never says hello to me´´. she said it with a weird facial expression of kind of love and sadness. i don´t know if you remember this part but i start it to think about her facial expression and sadness when she said that Amakasu never says hello to me.

    Another thing is why at the end he killed himself? and what was he doing with those cameras that he looked at the empres

  • @reiAYANAMI1992 maybe you're right. Amakasu is a strong and powerful man and the Emperor is weak...could be she has fallen in love..who knows :-) The cameras at the coronation ball - he was the head of Manchukuo Film Association. With the fall of Manchukuo state to soviet army, he commits suicide shooting himself.

  • @Jbrit1001 Well i guess everything is clear...you were the only one who helped with this questions in my head about this character. Thank you very much sir!.

    sorry if i bothered you...i have one more last question. Did you notice that Amakasu had one arm? You can see that in the entire movie, he just used his only left arm...why? did you notice this?

  • @reiAYANAMI1992. My pleasure. Good question! I never noticed in Amakasu's arms. I've searched about including japanese sites, but I didn't find any information which Amakasu had no the right arm . Another fiction? I hope I have helped. See ya!

  • @Jbrit1001 You are awesome thank you sir!!!
