the last emperor

[bigfatdick5000]

My great grandmother lived thru the whole lifetime period of the emperor depicted inside this film. She past away at 100 years old few years ago.

[DianaMB10]

I saw The Last Emperor after I visited the Forbidden City near Beijing, very moving.

[roiluangprabang]

One of the greatest cinematic films of all time..

[darkskyBAO]

a kid deprived of its childhood at a very young age at the same time passed to him a great burden of responsibility, what a tragic character

[fisteberg]

So sad,I just saw back the movie and Pu yi was a prisoner in the forbidden city,a very angry boy and prisoner since the age of three is a terrible and unfair thing.

Asia belongs to us!

[bigfatdick5000]

Can you believe it, it's made by an Italian director, sometimes maybe an outsider, a non-Chinese person, can see better the essence of the East Asian culture in it's purest original form.

[MultiSocialism]

@bigfatdick5000 Even outsiders can feel the essence of China.That's the beauty of Chinese culture.

[Dragonzrkool88]

My family is Manchu and we fought with the KMT against the traitor emporer and the dirty jap beast! My family are loyal to China not traitors who surve Jap pigs! The last emperor was a weak man and a traitor to both the Manchu & Chinese people!

[boomaga]

Maybe the greatest movie ever made and one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful musical themes as well.

[kenichisaitohchenii]

I was so excited when Rryuichi Sakamoto had an oscar back in 88.

proud of him,such an art he'd made in a film.

[PhilWithCoffee]

That was such an amazing film, a real masterpiece.

As a side note, I glimpsed through some of the comments. Why the heck are so many people on here obsessed with race and ethnicity? Seriously, what's the matter with some of you, you need to pay attention to the lesson and story of the film (and book) and Puyi's life. People quibble over the stupidest things.

[strawberrypanic81]

Joan Chen was really gorgeous!!!

[billdakelski]

good movie

[Thak11]

I am a Chinese so you Koreans supposed to say that I am actually a Korean, would I accept what you told me like a robot ?

It's me to decide who I am not other people.

Then Puyi and other Manchurians know who they are already - Chinese of Manchus ethnic.

So I want to say now that you Koreans are actually Chinese - Little Zhonghua.

[banzaikoku]

@Thak11 Well said !

[Thak11]

@banzaikoku

Thank you for your appreciation.

I just couldn't resist to say all these words to the stubborn Koreans.

[Thak11]

That Puyi is a Chinese or not is not for you Koreans to decide, it's none of your business, get it.

It concerns the Manchurian Chinese and Han Chinese , other ethnics Chinese only.

Anyway it also concerned Puyi only who already admitted that he was a Chinese.

Who else has the power to say that instead of Puyi himself ?

[008bluesky]

of coz puyi was not a chinese.

he is a manchurian.

[CrabTastingMan]

Puyi isn't Chinese, correct. He was "Manchurian"... what little ppl know though, is that his family is of Korean descent. His last name is 애신각라 AiShinJueLuo = Aishin Kara = 애신 겨레 (Eshin Kyeorae) = 金氏 = 김씨 "Surname Kim." Its explicitly stated in the official Manchurian family history book as coming from Koryeo, but this truth is rarely publicized because the Chinese think its embarrassing. Today, the royal descendents in China still use 金 as their surname.

[Thak11]

Puyi confessed that he was a Chinese, a Manchurian Chinese finally. He spoke Mandarin natively. You are wrong here again Aishin is not his surname, but Gioro. Aishin is the tribe or flag name, but Gioro is the name of the family. Yes Aquta may be from Silla , but at that time many Jurchens lived there side by side with other Koreans in North Korea area bordering China. Aquata was from Silla did not mean that he was Korean. Like a Chinese brought up in Korea would never be a Korean.

[mybox65]

fuk your ass, piggy. wat did you say

manchurian is one of chinese also. you stqpid low level animal

[008bluesky]

make things clear.

MANCHURIAN is MANCHURIAN, they are not HAN (the real chinese).

[strawberrypanic81]

Manchurian is derived fr the Jurgens fr Northern China...hence there are some differences fr their Southern counterparts, but all are Chinese by ethnicity.

Just like in Japan, you have groups as varied & diverse as the Ainu, the Okinawans,etc...but they wouldn't be anything other than Japanese. Get it?

[pkugaoqin]

@008bluesky I only know Manchurian Chinese and Han Chinese, just like African American and Asian American. I don't know nothing about "Real Chinese" or similarly "Real American". Thanks.

[chespi500]

a powerful amd masterful epic for all seasons from italian bertolucci

[mybox65]

your small head has confuse

[AmericanFan714]

One of the greatest master pieces EVER!! Titanic totaly dwarfed compared to this movie. What is the point of the movie Titanic anyway? Sitting in the movie theater for 3 hours waiting for the damn thing to sink put me to sleep twice...a real yawner!

[bigfatdick5000]

@AmericanFan714

Don't ever compare Titanic to this film. This film is a true historical epic - a masterpiece classic.

The comparison is like posing "Godfather" up with avatar, there's no comparison.

[CodyYaj]

i remeber watching this movie in high school. *long time ago*

[ilapfeifei]

hey,, why are u keep saying that he is not a chinese? Im refering to the commenter real true history.

[RabbitDance]

aw the little guy all dressed up is sooooo cute.

[Thak11]

The last emperor finally confessed he was a Chinese and repented what he had done in Manchukuo a puppet of Japan.

Not like French and Russian revolutions, lives of the Qing emperor and his nobles were spared.

[uknoww8]

lord of ten thousand years

[FilmTraum9c]
