Watching it again, since we were in the Forbidden City this week.

the criterion bluray is so pretty.

Legal que o Blu-ray brasileiro da Spectra Nova é a autoração da Criterion Collection!

It was good... way too long. It seemed like it could have been made today--a testament to the director for not using "dated" visual effects. It started and ended well and won a large number of Oscars.... 3 out of 4 stars from meeee.

Personally I think the movie was boring. But to mention that the movie was about one of the most important turning events in the world, I think it's worth to watch. The location was taken inside the real forbidden city.

First movie authorized by the Chinese government to be filmed in the Forbidden City.

Loved this movie, it's a classic.

Excelente historia por ser real e super bem filmado muito envolvente um classico

After reading the China: A History, watching this movie held much deeper meaning for me. There is something sad about this poor boy emperor, turned hostage, turned prisoner, who is the last of tremendously long road of history and tradition. The world changing around him, and for much of his life, he remains almost blissfully unaware of it. The Son of Heaven, prisoner of his own title.

Reliving my visit to The Forbidden City in Beijing. I love being able to say: "I was there!"

This is an old movie yet amazed how powerful the story still is. +1

I actually find this movie kinda annoying and I'm not paying that close attention, but the friends I'm staying with have it on.

I should b cleaning bur I'm being lazy...

Period pieces that actually stay within the period are hard to find. This is a beautiful film that tells a fairly accurate account of the last monarch of China. Currently streaming on Netflix

give me the epic movies!

First Bertolucci film I've seen. Now I really want to see 1900 as well.

I'm disappointed that it's all in English.
