Truly one of the finest of masterpieces...

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2001)

I just rented this movie a few days ago. I nearly cried at the end. I've never seen such acting from a kid like I saw from Christian Bale. His talent was very convincing. The realism of the movie was awesome. I really liked the scene where Jim is hugging the Zero and the POW camp officer is about to shoot him, when three Zero pilots walk up and see the boy in a state of awe at the plane. The boy then turns to the pilots and salutes them--- and then the pilots stand at attention and salute back. That is awesome! I watched the movie twice and I know that I will have to buy it now. It is truly one of my top five movies! Great Job for Spielberg!
