The last emperor [videorecording] - Thomas, Jeremy ([Sta. Monica, CA] Artisan Entertainment, 1987)
John Lone (M. Butterfly) stars as Pu Yi, emperor of China, who comes from a long history of a tradition that is irreversibly altered by two world wars and fierce political upheaval. Guided by his English mentor, Pu Yi is forced to leave the lavish, protective walls of his kingdom and somehow find the strength to build a new life in a strange world he has always longed to explore, but has never really known.
