    Captures so well the sense of childlike wonderment and the heartbreaking loss of innocence.

    Some classic Spielberg epic scenes, featuring huge sets with lots of extras. Christian Bale does a lot of acting as the child lead of the film. But it’s far from perfect! Plenty of uneven scenes, with some heavy handed storytelling.

    It’s sort of funny, but I don’t get why someone would feel compelled to make/watch multiple movies riffing on this same theme.

    Understated but effective at conveying so much trauma and violence. I particularly enjoyed the scene in the forest with his mother.
