Recently I watched the 4-part miniseries (movie) about Prince Pujie and his bride Princess Hiro. It was a very sad but beautiful love story. 4 hours long but worth every minute of it!
When I listen to this song I feel like everything in life is like the tidal waves, the problems you have subdue and reside every once so often. Life can be extremely depressing and empty, yet so full of beautiful things. In the end, I believe life is all about finding your own path and being happy.
Got chicken skin . I am Japanese dreamed of listening to this in China with the impression I get from the music. Now I'm in Shanghai and listening to it ... You know it's actually more than overwhelming to feel this tremendous music and China in the country. Love this music so much. tons of respects and love.
I was 5 when this movie came out.Had no clue what all this was about.My dad bought the soundtrack cassette tape and i was shock when he put it on.I,was asking him why he bought a chinese cassette tape.Now i know why and I am so glad he bought it.Cos this is a piece of history worth listening to even today.
I saw the movie "The Last Emperor" just before going to China in 1987... The film and the music touched me to the bottom of my heart. And while walking around in the Forbidden City of Beijing, I was filled with the movie and the music and related to reality through the eyes of the movie... It has been 30 years and I cry every time I listen to this music. Why is it so touching? What is this music made of? Is it because of the movie? Or is it the music? What do you think?
when the sad string bit starts, it just melts you. I think this soundtrack is epic and right up there with the same emotions you get from adagio for strings.
