Excellent film, most certainly a classic

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2004)

I don't know why it took me so long to see this film, I've always heard of it but didn't know much about it.
This is a story many people have never heard of, we've all heard the stories of internment camps in the US for Japanese citizens, but who's heard of the Japanese camps that held Americans, Brits and other foreigners. The acting in this movie is top notch along with some of today's biggest stars before they were stars.
The story is heart-breaking but also full of laughter and adventure. The friendship between Christian Bale's character and Malkovich's is odd yet understandable. I highly recommend this movie to anyone unfamiliar with it, you will not be disappointed.
