i love october sky . the thing i love most have to be the music . it work two way represent in the first hour of the film and it give the viewer a time frame . this be do by play song from the late fifty . in the second hour and an instrumental score take over . the music now fit the mood of the film perfectly . i do not only enjoy the music and i also quite enjoy the cast . jake gyllenhaal a homer hickam be especially a surprise for me . he give off a first class performance and a do chris owen ( quentin ) and chris cooper ( john hickam ) . i have see this movie about escape the life already lay out for you twice now and and both time i thoroughly enjoy myself .
