This is an excellent movie. I must have seen it a hundred times by now, but it’s still sending chills down my spine. Forget Batman, this is Christian Bale‘s best performance. Also John Malkovich as his kind-of friend, who mostly cares about himself but takes Jim under his wings, and also teaches him the necessary survival skills. Yes, there is Steven Spielberg‘s stereotypical portrayal of the Chinese and Japanese, but then, it’s all strictly from Jim‘s perspective and how he experiences the world. A brilliant film, from the beginning where we see Jamie the spoiled brat to the end where he is finally allowed to close his eyes in peace.
