Summary: Bernardo Bertolucci: Best Director for an Epic Movie !
Review: This Epic Movie is one of the greatest historical movies ever made!! Bernardo Bertolucci is one of the most visual directors and you can talk about Bertolucci like you can talk about Spielberg or Scorsese!! This movie makes us thinking about a historical time period nobody knows about and this time period and its ending changes the life and social structure of about 1 billion people today !!! Thank you, Mr. Bertolucci and I hope, I will see more like this from you !! Worth the money!! Every Cent!!! Pay and you will have a great history lesson and much fun for the whole family!! No cruelty or blood!!! Only epical scenery and shots of an unknown culture for the western atmosphere!!!

Summary: Um, NOT one of the fifteen best movies I've ever seen
Review: This film is well made, true. It's rather long, though. Perhaps needlessly so? The other woman, who said "It was an ok portrayal of the Emperor" was quite right. It was, and it was educational for me, since I had no prior knowledge of the Emperor. It was a nice film, and I liked it. On my four scale; a three and a half. You should be pleased by it if you have the patience, as any self-respecting movie buff does. I wouldn't overrate it as the viewer who said it was one of the fifteen greatest films he's ever seen though. Perhaps, for him, it is. But not for me personally.

Summary: I'm watching as I write this. Poor DVD quality
Review: What a shame that a gorgeous movie like this is given poor treatment. I'm quite shocked by the video quality of this disk. It isn't as bad as the absolutly horrendous transfer of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" being perpetrated on innocent customers by Madacy Entertainment, but for a contemporary film, it's pretty poor.

Summary: A true masterpiece
Review: This is one of the top fifteen best movies I have ever seen. I've read reviews saying that this movie is too slow, boring, and long. If anything, this movie is too short. The Last Emperor isn't as fierce or tearjerking as Saving Private Ryan nor does it have much action but the film has characters so powerful you feel like you know them. The characters were captured boldly by the actors. John Lone's performance as Pu-yi should have at least gotten him an oscar nomination. This is a film that is a true classic.

Summary: Stunning film, terrible DVD quality
Review: I bought this special version out of love for the original. In terms of the movie, I was never let down; this is truly a masterpiece. I was captivated with the new scenes. The only problem with this is the DVD quality. The movie itself has no problems, but the video and sound quality are severely under par for a DVD video. Other than that, it is an amazing movie, worth a buy.

Summary: Director's cut with 1 hour extra footage!
Review: The best of Bertolucci's films. DVD version has 1 hour extra footage which makes the length of the film 3.5 hours long. The story feels totally different in this director's cut. Beautiful sound track as well.

Summary: a milestone in movie history
Review: I really enjoy watching the movie. The costumes and scenery was great. The flashback and other techniques used to produce this movie helped the viewer to better understand this enigmatic person Pui Yi and this period of China's history before Communist takeover. It is both educating and entertaining for the whole family. And should be included in all world history classes as a mandatory part of the teaching curriculum.

Summary: Worth the multiple Academy Awards
Review: This movie is a definate favourite if one likes history and this movie depicts the life of the changing China. The director had a good idea of letting the audience to view the full length of the film. This is a movie that I would see again and again.
