Mise-en-scene of the "Last Emperor"

This is a shot of the "Last Emperor" which clearly shows a long shot of many elegant and formal soldiers. The colours here are showing better the situation, for example the sky`s colour is grey, but a no normal grey for the sky in this situation, it seems to be the last day in the world, in other words, day of judgement. Also we can see the emperor at the middle of the shot, with gold colour, and that shows clearly his importance in the film, because it calls the attention. The soldiers are with a perfectly symmetrical looking forward to the temple. This shot is showing so much, that makes all the audience feel weak and small compared with it. The soldiers show respect and admiration, to in this case: The Emperor.
