Actually, it's not. The last emperor really won so many prizes!
The Last Emperor is the first western film to be filmed in the Forbidden City with the permission of China government. In addition, Pu Jie, Puyi's younger brother, and Li Wenda, who helped Puyi complete his autobiography, were both hired as film consultants. This is an unprecedented opening in the history of new China, welcoming western artists and audiences, which is undoubtedly a great progress in the field of cultural exchange. It can be said that it is not easy to make this film.
The success of this film is largely due to Italian director Benado? Bertolucci, his shooting style is quite unique, and classic works emerge one after another, such as The Last Tango in Paris and The Tragedy of an Absurd Man, which are all wonderful. Storaro, a famous Italian photographer, successfully set off the theme atmosphere with his excellent photography techniques and exquisite pictures. The director's use of light and shadow has tended to change. The film uses almost all natural light and a large number of wide-angle lenses. The production team of the film is quite professional and works well together. This is why the last emperor won so many technical awards.
In the actor performance of the film, John Lone and Chen Chong play Puyi and Wanrong respectively. These two roles span a large age, are full of emotions and are difficult to perform. It is a wonderful acting skill to be able to integrate the emotion of the character into his own image. The movie * * * used 65438+9000 extras. The production team worked hard, and the lamas in the film were forbidden to be touched by women, so the crew specially hired male costume assistants to help them dress. The stylist used 2200 pounds of hair to make the wigs of the people in the court. The whole shooting process used a lot of manpower and material resources, which laid a solid foundation for the shooting level.
The film shows Puyi's life, because he wants to rule the whole old society of China, which is the product of the system, that is, the Forbidden City where he was imprisoned. At the end of the film, he is old, very old, and really adapted to this society. I wonder if this is a relief or a sadness. This film "The Last Emperor" expounds the truth between the country, the family and the people, all of which are shown in this film. Whether it is good or bad, it is a period of history, and this story is wonderful and precious. These are the reasons why the last emperor won the prize.
