2021-11-20 08:01
"Empire of the Sun" was filmed at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, and was filmed in Shanghai and Spain. After a year of negotiations with Shanghai Film and China Film Studio in 1985, the main creative staff was allowed to start filming for three weeks in early March 1987. The Chinese government allowed the crew to change some characters to traditional Chinese, temporarily closed some blocks for filming, and used more than 5,000 local extras.
The aircraft used by Spielberg during the filming of the film included three full-scale replicas of the A6M Zero fighters and three P51D Mustang fighters stored in the UK. Due to the complexity of aerial shots, their shots took a total of 10 days to complete. They also included shots of fighter jets dropping 500 pounds of plaster bomb replicas after flying low, but the explosion on the shots was simulated. A certain number of large-size aircraft models were used in the film, but the effects of some shots were disappointing. Spielberg personally extended the film’s contract terms, using full-size aircraft and pilots when filming in Spain. Model.
Industrial Light and Magic designed and produced the visual effects passages in the film. The scenes of the atomic bomb explosion in Nagasaki used computer graphics. Norman Reynolds was hired as the film's art director, and Vic Armstrong served as the stunt coordinator.

    It can be recommended to take a look~ The transformation of the characters is too inconspicuous - this is the evil result of the complete mixing of the perspective of a big background and the perspective of the protagonist's little friend! ! ! !

    Should be renamed SB kid zuo rote, stupid, annoying and pitiful. I watched it because I was curious about the perspective of a third country, and it was disgusting and speechless. This bear child really destroys the three views. In view of the director's background, I strongly mind that in his next film, a rich Jewish child can be deprived of everything, and he is eager to join the Nazis because of the worship of force or military uniforms or whatever in the concentration camp, and the story of disillusionment after the fall of the Nazis

Empire of the Sun quotes

  • Jim: If the Americans land, the Japanese will fight.

    Dr. Rawlins: You admire the Japanese?

    Jim: Well, they're brave, aren't they?

    Dr. Rawlins: That's important, is it, Jim?

    Jim: It's a good thing if you want to win a war.

    Dr. Rawlins: But we don't want them to win, do we. Remember, we're British.

    Jim: Yes. I've never been there.

  • Jim: We'll have to leave the camp?

    Basie: That's the idea, Jim. First one side feeds you and the other side tries to get you killed, then it's turned around; it's all timing.
