Empire of the Sun
Wow, what a hidden gem.
__________________I've only seen five minutes of this movie when I was very young, but I watched it in its entirety last night. I regret waiting so long to see this. From the opening and to the end with the song Suo Gan I don't think I blinked. It totally reminds me what it was like being a young boy and growing up. Christian Bale played his part so well....it's hard to imagine a young actor performing so well. John Malkovich played the cool American perfectly, and Ben Stiller looked like an Italian teenager in puberty. I want to say it is the best of Spielberg's epics, but Spielberg has so many. A very high quality movie.....void of all the cheezy 3D effects we see nowadays. |

Definitely Spielberg's best attempt at channeling David Lean. One of my favorite of his, too.

Behave, Cori.
I hear Chris Hansen's been dying to do an all-female predator edition of Dateline. |

Anything featuring/mentioning Christian Bale is automatically Cori-relevant.

This board seems to have some strange fetish for this movie. I swear it comes up in conversation and threads almost as much as Star Wars.

You guys are clearly trying to peg me as some sort of darned pedophile, but I maintain my stance that I save my swooning for adult Bale. Not even Newsies counts.
