  • Hes not saluting the japanese, youve totally missed the point, hes saluting the pilots.

  • A wonderful, underrated film, imo. The young Christian Bale was magnificent. The song, a Welsh lullaby, 'Suo Gan,' was beautifully sung by one of the top English boy sopranos of the time, James Rainbird. I've often wondered if that song was chosen as the film's theme because the Welsh tune sounds something like a Chinese mode; and also, I suppose, because it is an innocent sound, reflective of the main character's boyhood.

  • Sleep my baby on my busom

    Warm and cosy it will prove

    Round thee mothwers arms are folding

    In her heart a mothers love.

    Then shall no one come to harm thee
