I loved the music, the story, all of it. I will be buying it on Blu-ray and seeing it again in theaters on Sunday. Goose!!

After watching this movie in the theaters, I was angry and disappointed at how I thought I wasted more than two hours of my time watching this drama; However I cannot find much fault with it other than it left me wishing I had never watched this movie in the first place. All of the actor's are excellent in their roles (especially Meryl Strep, who has the ability to show a convincing shrew and make everyone hate her). My main complaint was that the movie was far too drawn out and long in many places; like the beginning. There were many scenes in this movie that will stay with me for a very long time -I still cannot decide if that is a good thing or not. Watch the original Macnhrian Candidate and don't judge these two movies together- they are a completely different animal, so to speak.

Empire Of The Sun is one of my favorite movies of all times for many different reasons; the soundtrack and score of the movie is composed by John Williams, who will always remain one of the best composers/writers in history. This movie has many wonderful actors in it, including Christian Bale, John Malokvich, and Josheph Pantolini. Every actor involved is wonderful- and the scenery is more striking than beautiful. I only wish that I had seen this movie in the theaters instead of having to wait for it on VHS or DVD (And I think a Special Version of this movie should be re-released on DVD.) Christian Bale plays a British boy caught in a world that is in the middle of World War II (I don't want to give away too many details; You really should watch this movie and judge for yourself.)
