Actually, I was thinking about most of us when I asked if the kid reminded you folks of anyone. Empire of the Sun is not a great movie, It has just about every Hollywood cliché and Spielberg gimmick there is and it’s at least an hour longer than it needs to be. But it also deals with the childhood fascination with flight better than any film I’ve seen. The kid in the movie reminds me of myself, even though he sings better than I ever did and I’ve never been to a prison camp. I bet he woulda loved playing BoP
