Review of Empire of the Sun (1987) by Vanya M — 14 Apr 2012
A powerful film that is simply really, and full of what makes Spielberg great. While not the most exciting of his work or the most engaging for every single minute, Christian Bale delivers a winning performance and the struggles surrounding him are captured beautifully. A boy's survival is one of heartbreak and joy as his love for airplanes and flight almost carries him through the war along with his resourcefulness.
It all pays off in the end.
