The visual experience and heroic spirit of adventure brought to the audience by "Empire of the Sun" are unforgettable. The film has an avant-garde and clever script by the playwright Tom Stoppard, and Spielberg made an extraordinary film based on Mr. Ballard’s extraordinary war experience. Christine Bell’s performance left a deep impression.
"Empire of the Sun" is one of Spielberg's most outstanding films. While telling the audience about the various experiences of a British teenager in the Japanese-occupied area of World War II, the film also expresses to the audience a process of yearning and pursuit of peace. The child star Christian Bale, who plays Jim, has a remarkable performance in this movie, especially his eyes expressing cheerfulness, horror, excitement, and the final hollowness and calmness are all in place.
The director Spielberg re-examined the war through the eyes of a child. In the film, he did not render the war a lot, but the influence of the demon machine of war on the entire human race is deeply etched in the characters in the play. In the soul, it is printed in the hearts of every viewer. The film allowed the audience to further reflect on the war, showing that as long as there is a war, it will definitely cause immeasurable damage to mankind
