This is a little boy's world. The so-called good and evil, right or wrong is only the conjecture of adults. For him, the war brought a life of displacement, and he stayed true to his roots while adapting and changing.
He loves flying, loves the blue sky, and loves everyone in his life. However, no one loves him who has left his parents, and he wants to prove his worth knowing that he is being used. And everything is wrong with him, he is the victim, who is not? The boy who had the same...

We have been educated in patriotism since childhood, and when we saw this history, we wanted to kill the little Japan. A movie is a movie. He describes the damage of war to human beings from another angle. Isn't that enough? There are already too many Chinese films about how Chinese people are bullied and not oppressed, can't we just accept a little other voice? I don't think the director's point of view is pro-Japanese, or that he can avoid the oppression of the Chinese people, but he...

A young British boy's struggle history on the Chinese battlefield
"Wait for me" but everything has been missed and only faced. How does Jim, honed by a separation, make us feel? Strength, faith, justice, dreams, intelligence, diligence, smoothness, and sophistication, there are countless words to describe the children who came out of the war environment. Let us children born after the birth of the movie learn how to survive and live in a harsh environment?
Jim, the protagonist of the movie "Empire of the Sun", was originally a naive teenager,...

The perspective is very objective, there is no great good or evil, it is all caused by war.
I accidentally switched to the movie channel yesterday, and the movie was being broadcast. The reason why I didn't change the channel was because of the familiar scenery that appeared on the screen at the beginning, such as the Bund, Suzhou River, Sichuan Road and Bridge, etc. The house is very close, and I often walked around this area when I was a child. I am very familiar with it, and I miss it and feel it. . . But he found that he could no longer look away.
Such a dreary topic is...

Yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, or possibly this afternoon, were wet crises. I was terrified and excitedly dreaded at the same time, wanting the flood to come. For me, the catastrophe of 1999 was completely wiped out by the park's green lawns, floral dresses, and glittery candies. Only in the news pictures of social classes and newspapers, we can see the grim and wet figures in bright red vests and army green shirts.
In the middle of the film, the...

Bell's acting is really amazing, completely genius, the story is a bit long, like a bean friend said, when you think it's over, there are still forty minutes. ....

I actually wasted two and a half hours watching a silly little bear kid die. The scene of the Japanese Air Force salutes the labor captive bear children is disgusting to me, what a glorious image of aggressors! If it wasn't for Spielberg's filming of Saving Private Ryan, I really doubt that he fed the dog in three...

[Exhibition at the China Film Archive] It was not seen as a 4K restored version in Shanghai, but it was fine to watch it in the archive. Christian Bale's acting skills as a teenager were so good. That serious look and eyes full of emotion have remained the same to this day. The images of British and American captives and Japanese are full. The opening and the middle of the film are magnificent and exciting, and two-thirds of the way begins to procrastinate until the end. This is a common...

Bale has one star!!!!!!!!! I watched this film driven by curiosity about how Shanghai was in the anti-Japanese war under the lens of bale and foreigners; I really like the poster of this film, which subtly expresses a child in In the age of war, the desolation of the heart has been...

Narrator: [title card] In 1941 China and Japan had been in a state of undeclared war for four years. A Japanese army of occupation was in control of much of the countryside and many towns and cities. In Shanghai thousands of Westerners, protected by the diplomatic security of the International Settlement, continued to live as they had lived since the British came here in the 19th century and built in the image of their own country... built banking houses, hotels, offices, churches and homes that might have been uprooted from Liverpool or Surrey. Now their time was running out. Outside Shanghai the Japanese dug in and waited... for Pearl Harbor.
