Magnificent Story

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2002)

Empire of the Sun tells a story of a boy who struggle to 'survive' in the middle of WW II.
Young Jim separated with his parents in an attempt to fly back to his country during the attack by the Japs to Shanghai city.
The story then took place to a camp where Jim must stay under the Japs rule, only a while after he was moved to a 'better' camp where the real story begin. Here, we can see how Jim's are changed and change all other people in the camp.
In the end of the movie, Jim are faced with his parents which he not recognize anymore, he just feels that the two people in front of him is a special one
Steven Spielberg, once again, proof himself as a master director where his movie not only an award-winning class, not only a blockbuster movie, but also put a humanist aspect in every movie he directed.
Just see it, no other comments
