Musician Ryuichi Sakamoto , who 　was described as "the world's Sakamoto," passed away at a hospital in Tokyo on March 28. he is 71 years old. He is from Tokyo. His funeral was held at his family funeral. In the 1980s, he produced world-famous hits with the three-piece band "Yellow Magic Orchestra" (YMO), and in 1988 he became the first Japanese to win the Academy Award for Best Original Score for the American movie "The Last Emperor." Although he battled cancer in his later years, he remained passionate about making music.

One of the most overlooked best picture winners. I absolutely love this film.

It's been said the greatest challenge to understanding Chinese history is that there is so much of it. This beautiful film manages to take us through seven turbulent decades in China with every one of its 163 minutes a feast for the eye.

This is such a beautiful movie. I saw it alone in the theater when I was eleven years old. I remember being glued to the screen. These were amazing movies deserving of an Oscar and not the garbage out today. I doubt an eleven year old today would be able to sit through ten minutes of this movie. They have the attention spans of a gnat!

They don`t make movies like this anymore...

My father took me to see this in 1988 in preparation for our trip to China. It was - and is - stunningly beautiful even to a small-town 14-year-old boy. A few months later we were inside the Forbidden City and all I could think about was Pu Yi running around, alone amid the sycophants, and throwing his pet mouse at the gate that held him in.

I use to watch this all the time when I was around 12 13, never knew the name of it but it stuck with me. Im 38 now and decided to try and find it on youtube and got lucky thanks for posting this so happy

RIP Bernardo Bertolucci (March 16, 1941 - November 26, 2018), aged 77 You will always be remembered as a legend.

This is an old movie but its worth to watch! Five stars!

Bertolucci you knew the essence of china monarchy, it's been privileged to see your excellent works

Cinematic art can be so breathtaking and moving. This piece of art was epic, the colors, sounds, textures and layers flowing in and out. Amazing how they can take the story of an absolutely horrid man and turn him into a complex, misunderstood, soft spoken, gentile man. That's awesome art.

Bernardo Bertolucci RIP

I remember watching this movie when it first came out in 1987, gosh I was only 7-8 years old at the time. Still a really good solid movie.

One of the greatest movie I’ve ever watched

The world will never make such a good movie again.

The movie is a nice one. I watched it as a kid. It speaks of many things happening today. I heard that someone that helped make the movie just recently died or was killed. 71 May his soul rest in peace. The Last Emperor Emperor for 10,000 years. So Accurate. So Precise.

Need to rewatch this movie. So well made, wish they did more movies like this.

Watching that movie so many times in my youth, i never realised the significance of cutting that "queue". That toddler Puyi is so so so cute!

The movie humanized Puyi. Puyi was a boy born in royalty & later became a useful tool for the Japanese occupation of Manchuria but there was something more to that. He was a boy captive in his own family legacy. He could not think for himself nor could he leave his palace. He was a trapped bird. A depressed boy wanting affection from the people around him. He wanted to be treated as a human being not as a tool in a power struggle. Although he had agency when he chose to represent manchuko, the Japanese colonial occupation of Manchuria regardless of his intentions. Funny enough, The PRC treated him differently though. Mostly one would kill the king to end any attempts of his followers fighting on his behalf because to his follower he seen as a god. Sort of like what the red army did to the Tsar. Mao OTOH granted him freedom and asked Puyi to live without special privileges like a regular citizen. A kind gesture.

David Byrne's magnificent score gives me chills whenever I hear it. Just a remarkable achievement in film music.

One of the best movie posters of all time I've actually never seen this film but the video always stood out in the video store when I was a child. I'll have to watch it soon as its image has always been stuck in my head.

the lost art of actually having a physical set for movies. And distinct cultures, not influenced too much by the west. How beautiful.

I've searched it because while I was walking in the street I found a vhs with this film. I decided to search (because I'm too young, I've never seen a vhs before haha) and I found this trailer. I wish I could play it but I don't have an vhs player hehe.

Bernardo Bertolucci FOREVER!

Wow this looks EPIC!!! Sad to say I never watched it, but this preview just won me over.

i think this is a story of a prisoner who never tried to escape from the prison and everything he did was things that was told by someone else around him.. The pictures and music are marvelous but the idea is very depressing.

favourite film of all time. an absolute masterpiece.

I remember watching this as a little kid, like less than 10yo. To say it had an impact on me is an understatement.

I’ve just finished watching this, after trying to find it for years. I first watched it when it was released in 1988 and remembered it being absolutely brilliant and had often looked for it on streaming platforms but never found it. My son suggested looking on KZfaq and “yay” was available to rent or buy. Is a long film, and I know now why it was difficult to find as it is not at all politically correct but it’s still an amazing watch, especially for history lovers. So glad i found it on here

Dad, Mom, and I went to Waikiki to watch this movie. Just so happens, there was a lesson in English class at Leilehua High School about this movie.

Simplemente, maravillosa Una de las mejores películas que he visto en mi vida

I showed this to my students in China, they told me many things about this story

I have waited for years to play this trailer...such a wonderful film I saw when it was first released nearly forty years ago.

This is a very good movie worthy of an Oscar for best picture.

*RIP Maestro Bertolucci* the last greatest Italian film director ✝️☯

This is a good movie. Watch it when in high school in the 80s

I just watched the 218-minute version, it was entertaining. John Lone looks good. I just wish he made more movies.

The ending is so very sad it made me cry.

Bernardo QEPD Gracias por esta Majestuosa obra De Arte

This one, and Empire of the Sun - both 1987, a great year!

And Micheal DoucheGlas won the 1987 Oscar while a role at this class didn't even get a nomination! Well said Academy! Well said!

Cinematic masterpiece, top 5 of all time.

một con người trải qua hai thời kì chuyển giao giữa phong kiến và hiện đại.Từ một vị vua của cả đế chế hùng mạnh cho đến một tù binh và trở thành thường dân cảm giác thật cho tôi thật sự khó tả

I watched this movie many times. Best movie with real actors.

1:12 every headteachers reaction to a pupil claiming that he is accused of sending nudes even though he clearly did it.

Rest in peace ryuichi sakamoto

Filme impecavel, em todos os sentidos

Fascinante la película. Siempre las veo cuando la pasan en plataformas

I don't remember how many times I have watched this movie. It is one of my all-time favorites. China is full of tragedies, and this is one of them.

You know why they say 10K years. There is a saying in Chinese. All the servants chant. 10K years! 10K 10K Years!

I saw this at the theater, took my grandma , it was incredible. I'd like to see a remake also...Id like a Lot of things though....

Damn, looking so handsome at 1:27

Legit movie, made me feel sad.

I love this movie. The 2nd time is even better as there is so much to absorb.

John Lone completely overlooked over these greaseballs

I love the old trailers

Wow this is an absolutely fabulous film I remember watching it when it first came out

The best movie I have ever seen if you like Asian culture this movie is for you

I did watch this movie when it first came out it was the best movie ever ❤️

Classic 1 of the greatest cinema of all time.

What a great piece of art

最悲的中國歷代皇帝，坂本龍一的音樂永存人心

Great film John Lone was incredible in the role of Pu Yi.

omg! I love this kind of history movie

Yall not gonna talk about how Mao was holy moly on point

Job nicely done mi director, and Requiescat In Pace

Puyi was a prisoner for the most of his life because of his status. He went from being imprisoned inside a fortified castle, to being a puppet ruler, to a political prisoner charged with war crimes. Its only when he became a commoner he finds humanity and freedom. Very powerful movie

萬歲叫 ten thousand years ?

did you make this trailer

he was also very cruel. they forgot about that.

This was one of the first of two western films to be shot in China. *the other being Steven Speilberg's underrated classic, Empire Of The Sun. - part of me feel that film should have won best picture. "maybe"

ほんまええ映画よな

1:56 Wowzers

My favourite film

Compared to the executed emperors of many countries, Pu Yi is already very lucky

Suga of BTS took me here💜 . He is big fan of Sakamoto’s work.

A cinematic masterpiece.

Omg i remember watching this movie a long time ago!

i remember my mom watching this movie when i was little

Are these trailers public domain?

John Lone！！爱

irl Pu Yi was extremely cruel to his eunuchs and would torture, humiliate and flog them for his own entertainment even as a small child. My only criticism is that the movie really downplayed how much he abused his power. But I guess his crimes didnt go unanswered as the Communist regime locked him up for ten years as a war criminal.

it still bugs me the teenage version of Puyi spoke with a different accent compared with the boy version and the adult version, as if his English skills has regressed as he grew up, then suddenly became fluent again in adulthood.

من جاي من حلقة الدحيح 😢 الامبراطور الاخير

WHERE TO WATCH????

Incredible film and story

I watched this as a kid and forgot it was in English

rip bernado

Rogan Crowe sent me here.

Oh damn it's the guy playing Ricky tan in rush hour 2😳

It takes a child to raze a village. Kidding. I have no historical context for that joke... and this was the best I could do, not knowing the story or having time to delve into it. Can't be expert in everything, right? Maybe one of you has a suggestion for the best candidate to fit this joke? > __________ . One emperor built a temple with levels and gates and all symbolic of the perfection of heaven to point people there and even instituted a "border sacrifice" as in, the border between earth and heaven. They sacrificed one of the most important animals they had in the stone and late bronze age in the context of animal husbandry and tradition but they had other ceremonies too. Some of them lost but they had a lot in common with the Jews it seemed at that point... a perfect convergence... maybe not, but still indicative that religion is hardwired in us and follows a pattern to point us upward to our maker.

정말 시대를 초월한 명작이다

Natatandaan ko bago uwi Yun Tito ko galing saudi sya Yun kaunaunahan may betamax sa Lugar nmin Yan Yun una namin pinanuod sa betamax nya The last emperor anganda Ng kwento nian sobra

0:50 who speak Singlish Come on Singapore 😂

ラストエンペラー最高です

Enthralling masterpiece not sure why this movie resignates with me. Its just gets worse for pu yi in life. until the end(he isn't a saint )

That was such a good movie but really sad too. A lot of parts I didn’t get. The whole thing with the mom & the wet nurse.

مين جاي ياخد فكرة عن الفلم من بعد حلقة الدحيح

Oh I love this movie.

I loved this movie!!
