The first character we meet is 11 year-old Jamie Graham (Bale), a spoiled British schoolboy whose parents live in a privileged upper-class neighbourhood.

Welsh Christian Bale started acting on the stage at a young age and at 13 he landed the role of Jim 'Jamie' Graham in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun.

The official Japanese-language name is Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku (日本国), literally "State of Japan". From the Meiji Restoration until the end of World War II, the full title of Japan was the "Empire of Great Japan" (大日本帝國 Dai Nippon Teikoku).

Towards the end of the film we hear Jim reciting the Latin phrase “Amatus sum, amatus es, amatus est." Translated, it means: I am loved, you are loved, he/she is loved.

Born in Wales to English parents, Bale had his breakthrough role at age 13 in Steven Spielberg's 1987 war film Empire of the Sun.

It uses historical characters but abuses them for its own dramatic, largely techno-visual ends. It wilfully commits the grossest historical blunders. This is in fact a historical fantasy-fiction movie and should be viewed and judged only as such.

The world's largest empire

The British empire spanned the globe. This led to the saying that the sun never set on it, since it was always daytime somewhere in the empire.

Jim's briefcase contained things from his past life as a young boy in a sheltered home. Everywhere he goes, even in the prison camp, he carries that with him, hanging photos on the wall as if to recreate a sense of home. The end of the film shows that he has let that life go.

Historians say the Japanese called their country Yamato in its early history, and they began using Nippon around the seventh century. Nippon and Nihon are used interchangeably as the country's name.

Japan in Japanese is “Nippon” or “Nihon” while in English it is called “Japan”. In most languages around the world, it is called a name similar to “Japan” (for example, “Japon” in French or “Giappon” in Italian). “Japan” and “Nippon” do not sound similar.

While Japanese people usually refer to their country as Nihon or Nippon these days, in early texts, the names Oyashima (mother island) or Yamato (which was written with the Chinese characters for great and wa, see below) were used.

In the case of the verb amo, it would be amatus sum/es/est, meaning “I (masc.) have been loved,” “you (masc.) have been loved,” “he has been loved.” But changing the subject to feminine means the participle must change its form also, rendering amata sum/es/est, meaning “I (fem.) have been loved,” “you (fem.) have been ...

Plot. In 1980 Hilary Small works as a duty manager at the "Empire Cinema", Margate, on the north coast of the English county of Kent. Hilary struggles with bipolar disorder, lives alone, has been prescribed lithium by her GP, and is having extramarital sex with her boss Donald Ellis.

In 1913, 412 million people lived under the control of the British Empire, 23 percent of the world's population at that time. It remains the largest empire in human history and at the peak of its power in 1920, it covered an astonishing 13.71 million square miles - that's close to a quarter of the world's land area.

Some of the broad factors that historians use to help explain imperial collapse are: Economic issues. Social and cultural issues. Environmental issues.

The earth is rotating at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards our star. That's why, for several weeks, the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle. Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period.

speech is silver, silence is golden [example]

沈黙は金雄弁は銀 [ex.]

He literally said あなただしすごくくさいよ= 'You guys suck. ' So Buster meant to say they're good, but pronounced it wrong. Then he proceeds by saying 'Your footwork is bad' which offends the red pandas. What he meant to say was 'Sleep well for tomorrow' like he said to everyone else.

'IT IS THE MAN WHO DRINKS THE FIRST BOTTLE OF SAKE; THEN THE SECOND BOTTLE DRINKS THE FIRST, AND FINALLY IT IS THE SAKE THAT DRINKS THE MAN…' JAPANESE PROVERB.

“Hear One, Understand Ten” (ichi ieba ju wo shiru) is a Japanese phrase that sums up the Japanese approach to communication. The idea is that two people working together should be so in tune with each other that wordy explanations are not necessary.

A similar Japanese idiom is: “iwanu ga hana,” 言わぬが花. Both of these Japanese sayings mean essentially the same thing: sometimes, it's better to be silent. Think of the English saying, “silence is golden.”

七転び八起き (nana korobi ya oki) English Translation: “Fall seven times, get up eight.” This is definitely one of the most famous Japanese proverbs. You've probably heard the English version: “If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.”

Romaji: Nana korobi, ya oki. Literally: Seven falls, eight getting up. Meaning: Fall down seven times, get up eight times.

What is chinmoku in Japanese? ›

CHINMOKU: SILENCE IN JAPANESE COMMUNICATION

Japanese tea ceremonies are conducted for the majority of the part in silence, with each participant understanding their roles of when and how to speak.

静 means 'quiet'

Silence: Interrupting someone who is talking is generally considered impolite. This means that many Japanese tend to remain silent during a conversation, until there is an opening to speak. Sometimes, silence is intentional to allow people time to think about the discussion.

Kichigai, the poorly chosen word used in iCarly, is one such term. Others include mekura (盲, blind); oshi (唖, deaf-mute); tsunbo (聾, deaf). Similar to kichigai, there's also hakuchi (白痴, moron), perhaps awkwardly the title of Kurosawa's adaptation of Dostoyevski's The Idiot.

What Buster Moon said in Japanese to the five Japanese red pandas roughly translated to "Your routine is horrible, your footwork stinks like feet."

“The moon is beautiful, isn't it?” is more poetic way of saying I love you in Japanese language. During Japanese novelist Natsume Soseki's (1867-1916) teaching years, he supposedly overheard a student translating “I love you” rather awkwardly into its literal and direct translation.
