Amazon.com Fuyi is the last emperor in China's history. He came to the throne at three years old and died in 1967 when the Cultural Revolution happens. As a kid he grows up in the game of being an emperor and later he finds that it is not a game but a fact. However he realizes that he is nobody but a protagonist in a farce, in which he is only a puppet with the symbol of power but can never exercise it.
Bad InfoSeptember 27, 2008 Fred in NJ(New Jersey) I really enjoy this movie but it was not clear when I ordered this version that it was in Chinese. Fortunately I had not broken the seal on the package and was able to send it back in exchange for the English version. Just be aware that this version is in Mandarin Chinese which I later found out.
Not AmazonOctober 24, 2007 JOEJOE(Florida) Amazon did not sell this; this is being sold by third party vendors using Amazon's Marketplace no different than Ebay, so it is up to the buyer to make sure they research any item before buying it. You always look for the item that is manufactured in the U.S., which is not always a good thing. Both JU DOU and RAISE THE RED LANTERN were released by a U.S. distributor and both movies have horrible image and sound quality. LANTERN at least was re-released by MGM/FOX, so hopefully a re-release of JU DOU will not be far behind.

Nowhere does Amazon state that this is a DVD, well, actually they did but I didn't see it. I thought it was odd that Amazon would sell an actual emperor when you can't even sell body parts (much less an entire human). Well, I was really disappointed when this was just a flimsy piece of plastic. Can you imagine being able to purchase an actual emperor? Think of all of the stories he could tell you and your family. Well, I need to start thinking more realistically. The movie was interesting.

Ditto other comments... Nowhere does Amazon state that this is a Chinese DVD movie without an English option or even any subtitles. Why it has been returned.
