note to all director represent long be not necessarily good . this movie be incredibly long . however not good . the scene be draw out way and way and way and way and way too long . the sex scene be unnecessary and and often too long . the movie edit down to 2 hour and 10 minute or so would have be exceptional and but alas it become so boringly long that i can only give it a negative . it be way below average . some other problem also exist in this marathon . 1 ) ralph fiennes play a whole family tree . the guy who play the great grandfather look nothing like him and but the grandfather and father and the son ( who give u constant unneeded voice over ) be all ralph fiennes with different facial hair and the same basic bull head personality . no one seem to notice that each of these child look like a clone of the last and even though photo of them be be snap at every turn . this one be minor and but if the movie hadn not be 3 week long it wouldn not have be so annoy . 2 ) the fact that no news from germany be even whisper for the long time about jew be round up and send off be ridiculous . some word would have get to them and the thought of try to run off would probably have be discuss . the uncle in france would surely have send warn to try and get them to leave . 3 ) the love story in this movie be totally wrong . you be spend forever tell u this thing and the development of relationship between main character be extremely short . suddenly . people be in love and almost instantly . marry . then have child . then we draw thing out for 6 century and forget about develop relationship . this again would not have stick out so much in a 2 hour movie and but with time spend nothing be give to u . 4 ) the end be just bad . i do not want to spoil it for anyone and but you would not like it either . unless you be sadistic . the director or writer should be torture with have to watch this bloated garbage on a weekly basis and i mean endless loop and oops they be the same thing . i wonder if robert redford do anything for this movie and i mean i think istvan szabo must be model his direct career after him . long draw out movie which totally ruin any substance in the movie . a short description of the horse whisperer and and sunshine . sunshine and perfect title . if you start watch while the sun be shin it will quite possibly be well after dark when you leave .
