Watch The Last Emperor For Free

Very Cool!!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I love biographical movies a lot. This movie gives all things that I expect. The Last Emperor portrays Far Asia Culture perfectly based on "real" historical background. This movie describes cultural and political changing of China Empire successfully, though describing of changing countries and cultures is way too diffucult thing in history as a branch of science. Bertolucci approaches the subject as though he is a historian. Fans of history and biography must definitely watch this movie. I heavily recommend The Last Emperor. 10/10 in point of history and biography.

I watched the film three months ago.As a Chinese middle school student even I had never know the film before I watched it. I visited the Puppet Manchurian Palace when I was 12.Actually I want go there once again.At that time I even don't know who Pu Yi is.During this film I learned something about Pu Yi.He got lots of valuables and a country when he was three,then he grew up and could not control them.He did something want turn the tide.But all the things that he did were so weak.like the dust in the wind.They has gone with the wind. At the end of the film.I was touched.His life was striking one snag after another.He seems to me is the great historical personage.I hope the film will being brought back in China.

Im too late probably. The description of his life is so dramatic. He lives in outdated castle and live in luxury, suddenly become a puppet emperor then become a prisoner, then a gardener. It is like you live in ancient china and suddenly people use internet. Everything is so pretty and so pleasing to eyes. I don't understand the whole deal about politics but the characters often do something crazy and unpredictable sh*t enough to keep my attention. Im so glad that the prison governor survive cause he is like my favorite character suddenly and if it is George martin he probably just be killed off even though the real one still alive. And the spy is sassy too

Pu Yi (John Lone) is the last Emperor of China. The movie flashes back and forth from as a post-war prisoner to his life leading up to that moment. In 1908, he is taken from his home and transferred to the Hidden City. When the Dowager dies, he becomes the emperor. He's separated from his mother for years and his younger brother Pu Chieh comes to stay with him. He becomes obsolete as a child emperor when the country turns into a Republic. R.J. Johnston (Peter O'Toole) is his English tutor and mentor. Pu Yi is locked in even when his mother dies. He has an arranged marriage to Wan Jung (Joan Chen) and Wenxiu. In 1924, he is expelled from the Forbidden City. He lived in luxury with his entourage. Wenxiu gets her divorce. Japanese agent Eastern Jewel entices Wan Jung with opium while Pu Yi is pulled ever closer to Japan. He is eventually installed as the emperor of Manchukuo, a puppet state of Japan.It's a grand epic historical drama. John Lone delivers a stone-faced performance. It has a certain appeal and makes the emperor more of a victim of history. It's a specific take on the character which some may object to. It's actually quite compelling. The picture looks beautiful. A lot of it has to do with the fact that the film goes inside the Forbidden City. I wouldn't say it deserves all of the Oscars but it definitely deserves to win a few of them.
