Movie Reviews of Forbidden City - The Great Within (DVD)
Movie Review: good but too short
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw all the 12 original episodes on TV and I love this serie very much! It is the first time that a TV team/photographer was allowed to go into the deep inside of this palace and for most of the treasures which have been collected by generations of royal families from different dynasties(Song,Ming,Qing), this is also the first time that they have been shown to the world. But the most interesting part is how this program tells the story of this palace by putting it in China's history, especially the history after the Opium War, and how people have been trying to protect it and protect the culture this palace stands for during the war time. I get to know that the government has been sponsoring the forbidden City Museum to buy back the treasures lost during the Opium War and war with Japanese, however, little has been told about it. Well, better not to be too greedy, right? If you can, get the original 12 episodes!
