Empire of the Sun

I caught Empire of the Sun during my days with Citrix in some hotel somewhere. The movie is about a British boy in Shanghai, who is separated from his parents during the chaos of World War II. He is later captured by the Japanese and sent to the Soochow Creek Internment Camp, where the European prisoners of war are held. The war is portrayed from the perspective of the boy, and how he deals with the world that is crumbling around him. Alas, I was not able to catch the full movie then.

Now, thanks to YouTube, you can catch the movie in full! Just enter the following search terms in YouTube: "Empire of the Sun - n/17", where n can be any number from 1 - 17.

Here's part 1/17 of the movie:



If there has not been a lawsuit against YouTube already, you bet one will be coming up soon -- and it will be to the detriment of us folks out there who would like to catch old movies that are no longer easily found in retail outlets.
