Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

I have found certain similarities between Pu Yi and his predecessor Emperor Gaungxu (Zai Tian). Young Zai Tian, as described by Dr Headland in his Courtlife in China ... was greatly interested in western sciences, etc.

[edit] Puyi's bisexuality

Is there definitive proof of his bisexuality? Plus I thought the movie DID ideed hint at his possible bisexuality. The scene during his birthday party in his teenage years where he played the face guessing game with his eunichs using the silk sheet, had a subtle sexual conotation to it.

[edit] Spitting Reference

I edited this article in the Analysis section to remove the reference that spitting on soldiers during the Vietnam era did not occur. Not only was this not related to the topic, evidence that this did occur can be found in the book "Homecoming: When the Soldiers Returned From Vietnam" 1989 by Bob Greene ISBN:0399133860

[edit] Plot

Currently this reads: "in a deliberately ironic scene, the last Emperor makes imperial remonstrance to the students, but is so clearly, to the students, an ordinary prole that they do not bother doing more than telling him to "buzz off" (which is Bertolucci's accurate rendition of the way in which Mandarin became significantly more crude in the Mao era)." - this used to be "fuck off" (and so the parenthetical makes more sense), but in the Director's Cut DVD (US version) the person definitely says "buzz off". Also, I have to question the "imperial remonstrance" analysis, the ex-emperor acts as a simple, honest man, not a ponderous or weighty man of power, saying with sincerity that his teacher is a good person.

[edit] Original Research

Some of the statements in the analysis section do not have proper backing or sources, etc. Nicholasink 20:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Last emperor1.jpg

Image:Last emperor1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
