"Empire of the Sun". 7 points. Directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Christian Bale. I really haven't checked the information to verify if it's Bell, but the eyes are too similar, and it's true after reading it and checking it again. There is no doubt that Bell is a talented actor. Even playing the role of young Jimmy, the portrayal is penetrating and the image is very full. In 1941, the Japanese army, which had begun to decline strategically, was gradually lost in the land of China. The anti-Japanese forces had completed the strategic depth of the east-south direction, and the Japanese army was on the road of defeat. Teenage Jimmy gets lost in the process of escaping with his father, starting a four-year prisoner of war escape, from one refugee camp to another. Surviving and finding his parents became the pillars of his persistence. On the way to exile, he met Bessie, a troubled ruffian played by John Malkovich. Bessie not only took advantage of Jimmy, but also taught him how to survive. The war ended with the US dropping two atomic bombs on the Japanese mainland. And when he faced his parents again, Jimmy was lost because he had forgotten what his parents looked like. I don't quite understand why Spielberg in the 1980s interpreted this terrible war from the perspective of a child, but at least this angle is very novel and shows the cruelty of war.
