A behind-the-scenes look into the filming of The Last Emperor through the photographs of Basil Pao. The Last Emperor Revisited is a true behind-the-scenes look at the making of Bernardo Bertolucci's legendary film through the exquisite eye of a photographer who had unlimited access to everyone and everything, everywhere. The photographs feature an international cast of characters who contributed to the creation of the masterpiece, from the director, filmmakers, and actors, to the farmers, workers, and students in and around Beijing who were recruited as extras. In July 1986, Basil Pao joined the cast and crew for the filming of The Last Emperor. His principal role was to play the young emperor Pu Yi's father Prince Chun, but he also served as a third assistant director and special stills photographer. The book contains over 250 photographs, including some of Pao's most iconic images of the film, along with a treasure trove of "never-been-seen" pictures captured during filming in Beijin
本書選編了三部有關毛澤東早期經歷的稀見傳記史料—● 美國記者斯諾在《紅星照耀中國》成書前,採訪並記錄毛澤東自述而成的《毛澤東自傳》● 毛澤東少年時的同學蕭三從延安時期開始撰寫的《毛澤東同志的青少年時代和初期革命活動》● 曾為毛澤東同學、朋友的蕭瑜,五十年代在美國出版的《毛澤東和我的乞丐生涯》(Mao Tse-tung and I were Beggars)這些傳記撰寫時間較早,作者或是外國記者,或是毛澤東青少年時期的舊友。今天讀來,這些成書較早的素材具有真實樸素的原始史料價值;對讀者了解毛澤東的早期經歷和相關歷史,也有助益。
