I never liked Bertolucci the only films I like from him are The Last Emperor and The Conformist.

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.

I was flipping channels last week an The Last Emperor was on, not sure what channel it was but I was tuned in as I was back in 87, my wife who never saw it or was just barely arriving in the US have not even heard of it.

Mr Ryuichi Sakamoto, who composed the man theme of the movie, has passed away in late March due to cancer. You may have heard some of his other famous work, such as Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

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.

More than 100 mln people died due to Mao's actions. He was a bigger monster than any human ever existed. There is nothing kind about him. Just a simple logic. Killing Puyi would make him immortal, making him a regular citizen shows everyone that he is just a human and not a God.
