More Memorable Moments Than Most Any film


This got indifferent reviews and yet I go back to it again and again. Why? Because it has more memorable moments than any dozen other films.

There is much replay/rewatch value in "Empire of the Sun".

Just the artistic historical recreation alone is dazzling and thrilling. The big budget palls before today's super-hero pop junk which are more like thrill rides at an amusement park than movies.

The pacing itself is worth the price of admission. Good luck finding a similar film in 2016.

Modern movies are paced for kids who grew up on Ritalin and video games.
