In 1941, Japan and China for 4 years arrived in a state of undeclared war. The city is overtaken by turmoil abruptly and unexpectedly, but for now nothing, unaware of the Graham family, remains to live in Shanghai in its rich land, in a large house among servants of Japanese origin. Jimi, the son of parents respected in Japan, arrives in dreams, studies in a school that befits his parents' wallet, and has a passion for aircraft.
On one day, when the tension in Japan’s relations with other countries rises to the limit, parents pick up their son and leave for the hotel. At night, war begins, bombing, people run out into the street, the flea begins, among which Jimi loses his parents.
Steven Spielberg. How nice it is to collect his films about the war without touching the “War of the Worlds” and his other films about the future. "Schindler's List", "Rescue Private Ryan", "Munich". From them blows the original and kind talent of the director, who is a pleasure to review several times. The “Empire of the Sun” can be added there as well, but there is no desire to look at it again. We looked, we stocked up with not strong emotions, listened to the story, were satisfied.
Through the eyes of young Jimi, we begin to observe what is happening: how smoothly and dramatically the peaceful situation in Japan is disturbed, how Jimi is emptying the last stocks in the house, how the pool once filled up dries up. Similarly, the psychological side of Jimi did not miss.
Having passed through all this darkness, which the young owner did not see in small quantities by force of will, he cannot remain all the same peaceful and dreaming boys with a toy airplane in hand. Many deaths remain in memory, and splitting atoms shows him how good the world is becoming. It was not the soul of a dead girl or the glare of the sun, it was the empire of a nuclear bomb.
It is always nice to look at young actors. Christian Bale, was great since childhood. Malkovich is inimitable, Stiller is not bad. And Spielberg is good, created the "Pianist" in his youth, only removed the cruelty and crush on his head, thanks to a small share of drama. In the old days, the "Empire of the Sun" would have impressed you more. And lately, the indefatigable rumble about the request of something new every day more and more difficult to satisfy.
