** 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 tumultous life and the tour guide summarizes his life in 3 sentences.
** There's the scene where, after Pu-Yi's release, [[spoiler:he finds one of the prison wards (and the only one [[PetTheDog who treated him well]]) being given a completely undeserved HumiliationConga for not following the Cultural Revolution's rules.]] Seeing Pu-Yi attempt to [[spoiler:tell the Red Guard in charge that the ward's a good man]], only to be called a crazy old man and pushed away, is ''harrowing''...
** When little Pu-Yi is separated from his nanny, and when he learns what happened to his mother.
** Empress Wanrong's fate, especially when you learn how she met her tragic end in real life. The last we see of her she is a shell of a human being due to her opium addiction and trauma after the murder of her baby

The viewers don't see any money pass into her family's hands so we don't know if they're being taken care of or not. Sure hope her infant doesn't starve to death...
** In real life Pu-yi eventually met the wet nurse's infant as an adult, realizing the great personal sacrifice the woman he cared so much for did for him. So at the very least, that baby was historically ok.
