Riveting!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2005)

I think this movie was so under-rated! Christian Bale should have gotten an academy award for this portrayal of a child and his ability to survive in the harshest of circumstances. I don't think Christian Bale has gotten the recognition he deserves as an artist and I predict in the near future, he will! Every time this movie is on, I watch it. The most moving part of the movie, to me, is the song he sings while saluting the Japanese air force - wow. It gives me chill bumps! And of course, why didn't I realize it was a Steve Spielburg movie! The sky was beautiful! You must see this movie if you have not! The change his character does in the movie, from the beginning to the end, is remarkable. He should have gotten an Academy Award!
