The content is compelling. The story takes place during WWII. The characters all try 2 deal with WWII and its aftereffects. It features Christian Bale in quite the role that made him compelling to casting directors. It also features John Malkovich and Miranda Richardson and was directed by Steven Spielberg. Plus, the main character is compelling and not unintentionally unsympathetic. Recommended for Spielberg fanatics and Christian Bale fans.

This is a classic Steven Spielberg film that my family and I first saw in the 1980's when it appeared in theaters for the first time. Christian Bale, of American Psycho and Batman fame, plays the main character, a boy who is separated from his parents after the Japanese seize Shanghai. John Malkovich plays an American expatriate who is doing dirty deeds with the black market in Shanghai. This movie has always touched my heart perhaps because I am the mother of sons and the boy in the movie is very bright and highly imaginative. I have watched this movie between 15 and 20 times and I just never get tired of it. Each time I watch it I discover something new about it. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I really liked it.

The film is realistic and well done. I have been a fan of Christian Bale since I first saw this movie.His portrail of Jim is brilliant and very believable. the supporting actors compliment each other and Bale, making this one of my favorite top ten movies.
I do not like war movies, but this movie stays with you long after you see it. I count it as one of my favorite all-time movies!
