I will always cry at this scene as it sums up so sweetly what a crime war is. It robs people of so many things - time, love, hope, the future. The scene also balances so intimately the beginning when Jaime as the soloist in his choir; and a the end he is lost in a cacophony of lost voices. Only his mother recognizes him for what he is. Her baby boy. Damn, losing it again. Sorry, this scene is very tough for me.

Criminally underrated film. Little did we know what a powerhouse in the acting world Bale would become. But the huge talent was clearly there

Christian Bale should have won an oscar for this.

Everytime I see this scene….i just cry. The total change of their son, the serious PTSD this kid shows. I was blown away with his acting.

The song being sung here is a Welsh lullaby, in English it reads; “Sleep my darling, on my bosom, Harm will never come to you; Mother's arms enfold you safely, Mother's heart is ever true. As you sleep there's naught to scare you, Naught to wake you from your rest; Close those eyelids, little angel, Sleep upon your mother's breast.” This is beautifully paired with the over the shoulder perspective of Jim’s mother as she holds him to his chest, we look directly into his weary eyes as he peacefully closes them. So well done!

Amazing how just a few minutes of this film can bring a lump to the throat and tears to the eyes.

After all he has seen and lived through, he finally stops 'thinking so much' and closes his eyes on it all. The whole story seems to be balanced out in one perfect moment.

One of the most moving scenes ever and it still amazes me how all three managed not to overact it. Mother slightly trembling, trying desperately not to break down, the father on the brink of tears filled with guilt, and Jamie like a war veteran with a thousand-yard stare, beyond having any tears left. Just absolutely brilliant and real.

30 years later....still hard to watch this final scene without losing it. One of the most overlooked movies of my lifetime. Ive never been the biggest Christian Bale fan, but this movie should go down as one of the greatest child acting roles in history.

You can see it in his eyes that he doesn't believe that these two are his real parents. Yes he may go back with them and live with them, but in his mind he believes that his parents died in a robbery gone wrong while leaving a theatre.

For years, he endured Hell and still managed to keep everything together, losing it only at the very end. Powerful scene.

My aunt, after watching this movie all those decades ago, told me I had to watch it. She told me, whoever that kid was starring in it, would be a star one day. And she was right. Empire of the Sun, from start to rolling credits, is a spectacular roller coaster of triumph and war through the eyes of a child like nothing else.

This poor boy went through Hell and I don't believe he will ever be the same. But finding your Mother after such an ordeal is like finding yourself! ❤

He had been through so much since he saw them. He was the same, yet so different. It's a great story and movie.

Being separated from his parents and having to survive through war Jamie was forced to grow up too fast and lose his innocence. Now that he's reunited with his parents he can finally rest in his mom's arms and become a child again. 😭 such a beautiful ending.

Jim is damaged and traumatized and his parents sense it. They don;t all go leaping into each other's arms like a happy ending. When he touches her lip it is so touching, awkward, and sad at the same time.

Every time I watch him close his eyes, all I can imagine him thinking is "Now I can rest", because he's back in the arms of his mother. #makesmeballeverytime
