* The scene with [[spoiler: Pu-Yi's ghost]].
** It should be noted that in real life, Pu-Yi visited the Forbidden City several times after his release from the re-education camps. The irony is that, he was asked to purchase tickets to enter (his own home). There were also times when Pu-Yi acted as the palace's impromptu guide.
** The audience just spent 2 hours watching Pu-Yi's tumultuous life and the tour guide summarizes his life in 3 sentences.
