This kid is an avid realist visionary

Spielberg has changed the naive, tired and cold perspective of the original book into a warm, noble and even provocative perspective.

Jimmy's fanaticism reminds me of the little boy in AI. The difference is that Jimmy is not lovable. He is too capable, too mature and too naive.

Bessie is the other extreme, extremely slick, and what exactly is his affection for Jimmy, this one is subtle: are they friends or just exploit? Who takes advantage of whom?

Ah, I really like Bell's voice at this time, even if it is screaming and shouting, it is cute.

    The scheduling is four stars in my heart, but the development of this old Shanghai British refugee story is a little unclear. Therefore, Christian's acting skills are excellent and complementary. Japanese officers are like the prototype of Schindlery's German officers, but it is a pity that only Voldemort can bring the villain's evil and charm to the extreme. There are a few scenes where Bell goes home to find his parents and the ground is full of talcum powder? And the handprint, Bell's eyes changed from "thinking that his parents were there" to the loss of seeing the signs of struggle later, and the wind blew away the mark after opening the window. The apprehension of the young boy when he sees the couple being ambiguous in the next bed is also well filmed. But it's true that Bell's role as an avid airplane fan is a bit Stockholm-like, leading to the entire film's attitude toward imperialism like the national bourgeoisie of the day (especially the phrase "I surround."). Of course this may be a deformity from a Marxist perspective. From the perspective of human nature, this film is still the director's self-seeking for the lack of family affection and pity for life. In the end, I saw everything that was deprived of Japan in "Peach Blossom Spring". The atomic bomb that passed by like a white meteor was like a dead soul. It was extremely magical and even beautiful.

    I saw it at Yang 6 in the middle of the night by accident, and I saw it at 1:30. At first I didn't know it was Spielberg's masterpiece, but I was naturally attracted. The boy who survived the Japanese custody at the time of the aggression loved flying and loved the people around him who were kind to him, but watched them die helplessly. When I got it back, my eyes were already dozens of years old. What kind of acting and filming skills can I use to show the old age! It's really beautiful!
