Empire of the Sun
1987
**½
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson, Nigel Havers
A young boy gets lost from his parents in Shanghai during WW2 and ends up spending years in an internment camp. This drama is beautifully done, but the story leaves you indifferent. Young Christian Bale does well in the lead. Based on J.G. Ballard's autobiographical novel.
