About this product

Product Information

Although it is 160 minutes long and shot with breathtaking scope and sumptuousness, Bernardo Bertolucci's film is a story about claustrophobia. Pu Yi, the Manchurian emperor of China who ascended the throne in 1908 at the age of three, is a prisoner in the palace he rules over. Outside, real power changes hands with each coup d'etat. Pu Yi grows to manhood, is tutored by a Westerner (Peter O'Toole), and marries a gorgeous princess (Joan Chen). However, the adult Pu Yi (John Lone) is destined for a communist reeducation camp when the war is over. From start to finish, Pu Yi is a passive antihero who can never come to grips with the idea that the absolute power conferred on him as a child was only a mirage. The mistakes Pu Yi made trying to realize that power, especially collaborating with the Japanese during the war, provide Bertolucci with the chance to explore his familiar theme of collaboration and its moral consequences (as he did in THE CONFORMIST and 1900). In the end, Pu Yi seems to have reached a kind of peace, and the terrible waste of a special man's life disappears into a drab, grey-clad Beijing.

    Timeless Epic Classic Top 10 movies of thr Last Century & a half ( 1900-2020)

    This is a typical, awesome, Timeless Classic. I say "Timeless" because I remember watching this movie in 1987 in a theater, 33 years ago, and just recently watched it again last night. The movie appears to be recent as if it was filmed this year, 2020. You wouldn't know it was released more than 33 years ago, almost 3 & a half decades old. ( Which it won "Best Picture" & 9 other Academy Awards that year, 1987). If anyone is into History, especially World History or Asian History, this is a great movie to watch. Superbly made, high quality film w/great cast & cinematography. It would have made an excellent 4-5 episodes miniseries & more detailed. Anyhow the movie was still perfect in highlighting & editing the film, getting the main stoty across. If anyone hasn't seen or heard of ...

  • The Last Emperor

    The Last Emperor is a great movie. Saw it when it came out. I didn't realize it but the movie is a rarity and is very difficult to find. There are a lot of bootleg copies and foreign made copies with Chinese subtitles. Also there are Australian copies that won't play on American DVD players. I paid more for the movie than what it is probably worth but I needed it to complete my Oscar collection. Another Oscar rarity hard to find is Tom Jones. Any of these two movies would be worth having in a collection. They will only go up in price as the years go on. Once they are gone...that is it. The Last Emperor is one of the last Hollywood epics. Sometimes the story moves slowly but the history behind it is very interesting. It makes you see why China gravitated to communism. The early ...

  • An epic telling of China's last imperial leader

    Arguably one of the best films of its kind, The Last Emperor is a long but captivating look at Pin-Yin, the last emperor of China before the government changed over to Chiang Kai-Shek's rule. The story is artfully told in brilliant color, and its large-scale moments filmed inside the Forbidden City are truly breathtaking. Everything about this movie is huge--from the chunk of time it tackles, to the issues it addresses, to the complicated lives it reveals. It's a fascinating look at the emperor's life, including the love triangle that contains both his wife and mistress, and the Western education his tutor provides. It's a visually stunning film that also tells a great story.

  • A take on history

    I saw this when it first came out and wanted to see it again. An excellent film, well worth watching. This copy was a gift
