Maybe he did. True, as an infant Pu Yi was chosen to bestride the history books, yet his destiny was to be that of a man endlessly free-falling through most of this century's horror. But it must have been a relief for him to come to rest as a footnote, a curiosity, at the bottom of a rarely opened page. Perhaps having accepted this fate, he would have savored another irony: that he would earn posthumous eminence as the focus of a big-budget movie -- one conceived and financed by Westerners.

Cliches, in fact, fly faster in this film than a room full of leaping ballerinas. Nadine, for example, expresses her hatred of men by exclaiming ever-so-subtly, "I don't trust any man," and reminding her infant child, "All men are sluts, you remember that." Patrick, Tony's mentor and best friend, tells him, "You have no passion. You seem empty."

Overall, the surgery consumed 60 pints of blood products, dozens of times the babies' normal volume. Worried about rapid swelling of the brain tissue, the team decided to wait for a later date to install titanium plates custom designed to help close the babies' skulls. In addition, there was not enough scalp to cover both infants' heads; Benjamin's was therefore temporarily closed with surgical mesh...
