Empire of the Sun

In English class we saw a movie called empire of the sun. The main character of the movie was a young boy named Jim also known as Jamie. In this short essay I would like to talk about how Jamie had a major character change in the movie. In this movie I would like to tell you his behavior when he was rich, poor and had nothing.

When the movie first started Jamie was rich and he had every thing. He had family and a big house. So as you know having every thing Jamie was very happy but he was kind of rude to his maid. He felt as though they had to do every thing he said.

After Jamie lost his mother and father in the big crowd you could see Jamie’s whole attitude changing. He was very scared and was acting like a crybaby. After his mother and father were lost in the crowd he returned home. You could see Jamie felt so sad. He looked all-lonely. When Jamie went out to find something to eat, He was real scared. He then gave up and started walking around saying he surrender to the soldiers.

Towards the end of the movie, the most interesting part of the movie to me Jamie made a total change. He walked around like he was a gangster but he cared about a lot of people though. Jamie did things he would never have thought about doing in the begging of the movie. Jamie was stealing from people. You can tell he hit rock bottom because in the begging of the movie Jamie had it all, he did not need to steal. He stood up for his self and others. For example the soldiers was about to destroy the hospital Jamie stood up for every one and the solider backed down. Even though Jamie was acting so hood he still was kind of soft. He cared a lot about his friends or family.


In conclusion I think that Jamie had so many character changes this movie. He went from happy to being a crybaby, to becoming a gangster. I really liked this movie it was so interesting and I hope that we could see some more good movies like this one.
