Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and released in 1987, The Last Emperor is an epic historical drama that swept the Academy Awards, winning all nine Oscars it was nominated for, including Best Picture and Best Director. It tells the sprawling, tragic story of Pu Yi, the last ruler of China's Qing Dynasty, who ascended to the throne at age three, only to witness the collapse of his empire and endure a tumultuous life as a puppet ruler, a prisoner, and finally, a humble citizen of the People's Republic of China.
The movie offers a rare glimpse into the transition of China from an imperial empire to a communist republic through the eyes of a man who was treated as a god and later became a citizen. cuevana el ultimo emperador free
