Review of Empire of the Sun (1987) by Juanka P — 22 Apr 2012
Jim Graham (Young Christian Bale - Yes, Batman!) is a spoiled British boy who lives with his wealthy family in Shangai, China, before WWII. China is invaded by the Japanese, and Jim's family is forced to separate, in order to survive.
Jim always dreamed about war airplanes and war, but soon he finds himself immersed into one, as prisoner. With the help of Basie (John Malkovich) the young boy soon knows how to survive and trade in the prison camp and how to obtain the best of this experience and live it as a fascinating adventure.
I consider this probably the best Spielberg's movie I have ever seen. (or easily top 5!.
