A book that was presented as movie, Empire of the Sun, is a classic movie directed by Steven Spielberg in the later part of the 1980s. The original book came around in 1984 and the story revolves around a Brit boy who survives during the attack of the Japanese army during the second World War.

The story captures the feelings and the experiences of an English boy in Shangai during a time when the city was invaded by the Japanese troops. The movie though based on a war does pull your attention to the emotional and tragic side of the wars. A highly acclaimed movie is wortha watch!
