Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. Steven Spielberg directed the film, which stars Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson, and Nigel Havers.The film tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham (Bale), a young boy who goes from living with his wealthy British family in Shanghai, to becoming a prisoner of war in the Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center, a Japanese internment camp, during World War II.Not to be confused with the Australian electronic music duo of the same name (especially since Word of God has confirmed that they didn't name themselves after this work). | |

Apocalypse Anarchy: Mentioned by Basie, who states that the worst part of a a war are the beginning and end. True to form, people run in every direction as the Japanese invade, and any token resistance is immediately destroyed. Once the occupation sets in, foreign nationals are corralled into internment camps, where they eke out a somewhat comfortable existence. When the Empire of Japan is defeated, once again chaos reigns as internees are evacuated, any Japanese resistance is wiped out via bombing, and any liberated internees have no where to go until Allied forces reoccupy lost territory, and order is established once more. | |
