Best Movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2013)

This movie should have won best movie, and it did, just not an Oscar or Golden Globe. I just saw it on TV and was constantly awed at the stunning visuals and how good the movie was. It was definitely Spielberg. The story is not making any statements, it is just telling a story of what is, what can be and what probably was during those times. There are some parts that move us deeply because we know they are true. A boy in Shanghai sees a bright flash of light in the sky, brighter than anything he has ever seen. He has just witnessed the most horrific thing that has ever happened in the history of mankind, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Later he is looking at his hands possibly feeling the first effects of radiation poisoning. The story follows the boy (played by a young Christian Bale who should have won an Oscar for this) and what happens to him during the end of world war II. I recommend this movie highly to anyone who likes a really excellent movie.
