i don't know....i just felt the urge to express that this was one of the best movies i' ve ever seen, but it didn't seem to make more than a ripple...great shot near the end,with the kid on the tower and the pilot waving, as the mustang flew by. and the young japanese pilot.... Cry

....i don't know who the main actor was, but he was great...and seemed to have just disappeared....cheers.

Good film. It is a great shot of "Hoof" Proudfoot waving from his Mustang...

Empire of the Sun was a really great movie and it teaches a very valuable lesson about life and riches.

Would you believe that little boy (Christian Bale) grew up to be the new Batman..... Grin

I think the new "Batman Begins" is the best Batman yet. I love the new Batmobile and in the immortal words of Gordon, "I gotta get me one of those!"
Grin

"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

lol he's all growed up. i havent seen that film for a long time, if i saw it now and read the credits i would have recognised him right away. I think christian bales return to films was when he starred in american psycho

It is indeed. Very talented ex-RAF Harrier pilot, who was killed in the crash of The Fighter Collection's P-38 Lightning at Duxford in July 1996.

IIRC, he was the first RAF Harrier exchange pilot in the early 70s, helping the introduction into service of the USMC AV-8A.

It's now quite difficult to find a decent biography of him on the web as any search is filled answers say P-38 crash 14 July 1996... Roll Eyes
