Abstract

“The Last Emperor” is a classic movie portraying Chinese history from a Western perspective. The brilliant soundtrack of the movie shines out. It is a blend of Chinese and Western elements. Through the collision and fusion of Chinese and Western musical elements, the soundtrack promotes and presents the plot of the movie through music. It is a good theme for the research and analysis of the relationship between music and Chinese and Western social cultures. This article explores the aesthetic resonance of Chinese and foreign audiences by analysing the uniqueness of the soundtrack.
