- The Last Emperor is a 1987 biopic about the life of Puyi, the last Emperor of China, whose autobiography was the basis for the screenplay written by Mark Peploe and Bernardo Bertolucci. Independently produced by Jeremy Thomas, it was directed by Bertolucci and released in 1987 by Columbia Pictures. Puyi's life is depicted from his ascent to the throne as a small boy to his imprisonment and political rehabilitation by the Chinese Communist authorities.
The film stars John Lone as Pu Yi, with Joan Chen, Peter O'Toole, Ruocheng Ying, Victor Wong, Dennis Dun, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Maggie Han, Ric Young, Vivian Wu, and Chen Kaige. It was the first feature film for which the producers were authorized by the Chinese government to film in the Forbidden City in Beijing.[1] It won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Wenxiu was actually the smartest out of the three. She saw where shit was headed, and bailed! After divorcing Pu Yi, she lost her imperial title and became a commoner, but remarried. She became a teacher and shortly after got leukemia and died in her 40's. Her husband was at her side when she passed away. She was still the luckiest. Wanrong became a drug addict, addicted to Opium and eventually went insane in prison and died from starvation...her burial site remains a mystery. Pu Yi became a prisoner, hated or forgotten by most of the Chinese people and ultimately forced to become a gardener. At least Wenxiu found true happiness, unlike the other two.
the way of life of fallen emperor is forgotten by his subjects, same as lost all his favor from heaven's will
Thank you for the added history! I remember being fascinated by this movie. Speaking of Wanrong's opium addiction; searching for Joan Chen eating rose petals, a sumptuous and amazing image still burned into my brain, is what brought me here in the 1st place. =)
I want to add Pu Yi commented Wenxiu displayed courage when she walked out of his life. When he found out about Wanrong's death from his sister in law Saga Hiro he was emptionless.
@@einezcrespo he didn’t love her. He was not perfect obviously. It was an arranged marriage and she cheated and was a drugaddict
And he was Manchu
She is the first and the last woman who dare to divorce with the emperor .
Because he was the last epeoror of the china.
Is that important scene in this movie? i cant understand this scene
가을!행복 but in this time,there weren't any chinese woman who have enough brave to divorce!,especially divorce the emperor. And this scene was a highlight spot for chinese women's freedom,she broke through to become a progressive thinker at this time.
@@linhthuhotran265 she was mongol, not exactly 'chinese' per se
Romanke i know, but that is the last Dynasty of China. So i think it wasn't wrong when i said she was Chinese.
@@sinoroman The "chinese" concept is quite newly born. Chinese is made from combining many ethnics living at China such as Han, Mongol, Manchua,.... Even Han ethnic is mixed from many ethnics too so say she is Chinese is not wrong.
The Last Emperor was such a paradoxical being, so trapped himself yet also trapping others in return by his choices...
this movie shows beauty in every frame, i will never get tired of it
RIP Bernardo Bertolucci
"No one can divorce me." Unhh . . .
Lmfaoooo I died that part! ^
Wow! The emperor got dumped.
incredible scene but unfortunately the magnificent visual quality is greatly reduced in this post and you can't see the sun glowing through the rain, one of the most important aspects of the scene
“I do not need it :D”
Even if this is over-dramatic for the sake of entertainment, it totally conveys her new found freedom and vigor, and the fact she decided to become a teacher...
Man, I love this music! Chills all over!
Philip Zamora same here
Especially the music in this scene....it's call "Rain" by Ryuichi Sakamoto czcams.com/video/aO-WjC_udXA/video.html
Imagine the Empress Dowager in Ruyi speaks English.
Wenxiu is potrayed by Vivian Wu. She is also the Empress Dowager in Ruyi.
As for Wangrong, she is potrayed by Joan Cheng, who plays Ruyi's Aunt in the same drama.
These actresses play as rivals in drama and film but it seems that they have a good working relationship.
About Vivian Wu who played Wen Hsiu in this movie, I have 2 of her movies on DVD which are ones where she plays Japanese characters. One called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 where she plays a character named Mitsu and one called The Pillow Book where she plays a character named Nagiko.
The music is very melodramatic but it works! What a fantastic
Soundtrack, classic yet modern in its execution
The soundtrack is godlike.
and in their past lives, these 3 were *Ula Nara Yixiu* (Empress Xiaojingxian), *Niohuru Zhenhuan* (Empress Xiaoshengxian), & *Aisin Gioro Yinzhen* (Yongzheng Emperor)
-Ruyi spoilers tihi-
I feel the way she does now. I’m not getting a divorce. I’m single. But I want out of my current situation! I grew out of it. Interesting how one reaches that impasse, and you no longer can take it how it is.
Actually Wanrong & Wenxiu were fiercely competing for Pu Yi's affections. When Wenxiu left Pu Yi blamed Wanrong.
Yeah, the film portrays Wanrong and Wenxiu as close friends, but in reality it was quite the opposite.
Excellent scene and the end music so dramatic!!
Prince Charles yelled out the same thing to Diana, likewise Jaime to Infanta Elena.
Maggie Han "I want a divorce!" the lawyer 'Cheryl' in a Seinfeld episode.
This movie is so beautiful
Super good movie...❤
That's right Wenxiu. Take your pupper and and bounce. She hated her life in the palace anyway
I love this movie so much I just watched it it was very sad :(
0:19 "that's nice, dear."
What a liberating scene!
I love a great film like that
Una de tantas grandes escenas de esta gran película!!
This is exactly how I feel today! Forget the bad acting in the first half, it's from the brilliant music and rain.
Rain of freedom
they did right thing missing a beginning of it. Why did Sakamoto compose it so?
Theory of value states, that Price will always determine what the buyer is willing to pay; but then she said that 'I don't need it' which now makes it really quite a bargain. This has to be the most beautiful scene for that very long 3 hours almost screenplay.
El momento en que la emperatriz siente la libertad está bellísimamente subrayado con la música...❤
I never understood this scene as a child but I didn’t understand aspects of it. It’s funny what we view as freedom given what we think we don’t have or do have. If you’re ever in position of true love never let it go no matter the situation. If it’s not love then you have the right to leave, but never leave cause of another woman! Because you will rarely ever find a man who loves you especially if you’re were capable of Truly loving a man verse using a man.
Best part ever
The gov wants a baby, leave me alone
This movie gives me a

What happen to her after she divorced?
She remarried but not long after she died from cancer
From her wiki page:
Wenxiu married Major Liu Zhendong in 1947 at the well-known Dongxing Pavilion (东兴楼) in Beiping (present day Beijing). Liu later ran a car rental business, which soon went into bankruptcy. Later their landlord fled following the surrender of Beiping in 1948 (which was renamed "Beijing" in 1949 at the end the Chinese Civil War). After the war, Liu confessed to the government regarding their historical issue and found a job in a cleaning services company. They lived in poverty in a 10 square-meter house.
Wenxiu died with only her husband by her side in their house at 10 p.m. on September 17, 1953. Later, with the help of her husband and his group of cleaning service colleagues, she was buried outside the Andingmen.
In 2004, the descendants of the imperial house of the Qing Dynasty granted posthumous titles to Puyi, his two spouses and two consorts. However, Wenxiu did not receive a posthumous title because she is considered to have been reduced to the status of a commoner after she divorced Puyi.
A divorce....ehehehehe
What happen to her after she divorce Puyi?
she became a teacher
@@jaggerswing7838 and she remarried and died from cancer
She became a teacher for a few years, but ended up leaving because many curious people gathered around the school. She remarried a Kuomintang officer called Liu Zhendong who owned a car dealership business, but the business subsequently collapsed. After the war Liu confessed to the new CCP government about their historical issue. Both lived in poverty and worked as cleaners. At least she passed on with her husband by her side and her colleagues helped to lay her to rest.
Really sad that things had to end up this way for her but I hope she was somewhat happier with her new life.

very slooow movie - well, I guess slow people like slow movies.
It's not supposed to be a high paced action pact film. It is an articulate, artistic masterpiece, that shows the life and times of a man who becomes a prisoner of destiny.
@@jessieblossom3874 you don't have to compare it to an action movie to label it as slow - all the scenes are just very drawn out. Like someone holding its breath and trying to slow time, maybe one wanted to capture the spirit of the time - this movie just feels it takes unnecessary amounts of time to get from A to B in almost all of its scenes, long silences that are supposed to be profound
next time watch the movie with plenty of time to spare, and grab a few beers. you gotta relax in order to enjoy these long slow-paced films. You can also watch them in parts. This is not your typical 2 hour movie that when it's done you forget about it and its back to reality.
it's a biography which has to tell a lots of historical events it can't be fast
No, smart people can handle slow movies. It's stupid people who need cartoon-like pace.
