The last emperor won 9 oscars including Best Picture. I cannot see that. The costume design is good, realistic in my opinion, so therefore the oscar is earned. But the rest?! I do not know!
The story is based on historical information but does it really needs nearly 3 hours to tell this story? A 15 minutes documentary has the same effect...
The acting is not special and the soundtrack is also nothing new. I had hoped that this would be an extraordinary movie like Ghandi which is a similar genre. However I got dissapointed and will not recommend you this movie. If you want to inform yourself about chinese history, watch a documentary.
