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 ...
