Title: Not Interesting
Product review: 'The Last Emperor' is the story of a man who is not the least bit interesting. The emperor is living better than a God in his palace city while the Chinese people are living worse than his mouse. Trust me, the emperor's dog, if he had one, was probably living better than the Chinese people. The only thing I saw this man really "doing" during the entire film was play tennis. Other than that, he just sits or stands there expressionless letting events happen around him. No doubt, the filmmaking is impressive, but a movie cannot rely solely on that. Also, the movie portrays the Empress Dowager as some kind of enigmatic god-like creature. In reality, the Empress was an extremely cruel woman who does not deserve to be protrayed the way she was. There is an old Japanese proverb that says, "If you believe everything you read, best not read". Here are my words of wisdom to aspiring and great filmmakers: "If you are going make a movie about an uninteresting man, best not make a movie."
