The Japanese invasion of China had been ongoing since the early 1930s, but in coordination with the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese forces moved into allied colonies on the mainland. This included the international section of Shanghai, where Jamie, the spoiled son of a British manufacturer, becomes separated from his parents in the chaos of war and has to fend for himself in a Japanese internment camp. With powerful performances from Christian Bale, John Malkovich, and Miranda Richardson, this is Spielberg at his best, portraying a seldom-depicted theater of WWII in one of his most underrated films.Next Episode: Atonement (2007)Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments!Our website: www.dangerclosepod.comOr join our Facebook group at: Danger Close - Podcast Discussion Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1442264899493646/)If you like the show, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you would like to support the show and get extra episodes where we discuss sci-fi, fantasy, and comedy war movies, go to our Patreon page at:www.dangerclosepod.com/supportwarmovies #warfilms #war #film #films #movies #history #cinema #WWII #worldwar2
