	'Empire of the Sun'
		What transpires in between, the sweeping story of Jim's wartime exploits after he is separated from his family, is set forth so spectacularly in Steven Spielberg's ''Empire of the Sun'' that the film seems to speak a language all its own.
		There are sections of ''Empire of the Sun'' that are so visually expressive they barely require dialogue (although Tom Stoppard's screenplay, which streamlines J. Ballard's autobiographical novel, is often crisp and clever).
		Once ''Empire of the Sun,'' which opens today at the National and other theaters, follows Jim to the prison camp where he spends the duration of the war, it becomes slightly less focused.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Empire of the Sun
		Empire of the Sun is based on JG Ballard's autobiographical bestseller, published to enormous acclaim in 1984.
		Director Steven Spielberg simplifies the tale and removes many of the novel's teasing ambiguities but he successfully captures the central character's fascination with the madness of adulthood, the endless stream of strange and desperate people, and the sense of wonder elicited by the war's power and omnipresence.
		Empire of the Sun was nominated for six Oscars and won three Baftas, including the award for best cinematography.

		To put it simply, Empire of the Sun is my favourite novel of all time.
		It is a moving, incredibly emotional journey from the safe ground of upper class Shangai, to the uncertain, horrific arena of Lunghua camp and the paddy fields of occupied China.

	Empire Of The Sun in ZhurnalWiki
		Ballard's largely-autobiographical Empire of the Sun tells of years spent by a young boy ("Jim", age ~10-15) in Shanghai, China, 1941-46—separated from parents, roving, lost, scrounging, then interned in a Japanese prison camp until the collapse of the occupying forces at the end of WWII.
		He could see the smallest detail of everything around him: the flakes of rust on the railway lines, the sawteeth of the nettles beside the truck, the white soil bearing the imprint of its worn tires.
		The sun fell toward the Shanghai hills, and the flooded paddy fields became a liquid chessboard of illuminated squares, a war table on which were placed crashed aircraft and abandoned tanks.

		For Jim Steven Spielberg deliberately chose an actor that was totally unfamiliar to the audience - Christian Bale.A very promising young actor, that after his part in the film became known as one of the best child actors that has ever lived.
		Today "Empire of the Sun" is achnolidged as one of the greatest War-movies ever made.
		I think that many people lack such knowledge, and it is my hope that films like "Empire of the Sun", "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" will make these people understand the meaning of war.

	TIMEasia Magazine: Asian Journey - Empire Of the Sun
		I am a chronicler of Empire, and for me the most vividly fateful spot in Asia, a landmark where one empire allegorically gave way to another, is an unprepossessing industrial building in the heart of Singapore island not far from the skyscrapers and tumultuous energies of the Lion City.
		The moment truly prefigured the end of the British Empire in the East—and falsely suggested the arrival of a comparable successor, Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
		But I feel some compensating irony, too, to think that, when both those empires were dead and gone, such old sorrows of Asia would eventually lead to the prosperity and even the happiness of nations.

		Empire of the Sun, I have just revisited this film on DVD and was amazed the effect it left on me. This is almost an unknown film relative to most other Spielberg work.
		As a history lesson Empire give us an insight to the happenings in China in WWII, and the ambitions of the Japanese Empire, which are never touched on in other WWII movies.
		The images in Empire are beautiful to look at, the movie is thought provoking and provide some history lesson, if somewhat fantasy and sacrine sweet.

	The Sun Never Set on the British Empire
		The "British Empire" was not a de jure entity (like the German Empire, Austrian Empire, Russian Empire, or Japanese Empire), since Britain itself was a kingdom (the "United Kingdom" of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
		In 1909 the British Empire encompassed 20% of the land area of the Earth and 23% of its population.
		Whether a monarch is a king, prince, emperor, etc. depends on whether the domain is a kingdom, principality, empire, etc. "Dominion" addressed a case where sovereignty resides in a monarch, but the domain itself does not confer a particular title.
