i have 5 thing in my house that if it be burn down i would risk my life to save them while the land of faraway be one of them . i have a vhs copy from the u. s. that i get in 1989 when i be 3 year old . i be 22 now and i still love the film that much and i be actually watch it right now . this review may contain spoiler . the land of faraway or mio min mio and a most people know it and be the story of a boy name bosse . his adoptive parent hate him and let him know it and the old kid bully him and and he only have two real friend represent mrs. lundin a nice young woman who work at a local store and benke a boy from school . bosse great dream be to have a father that love him like benke . one day mrs. lundin give bosse a golden apple and ask him to mail a post card for her . the post card be to the king of the land of faraway and say something like the one you have be look for be here while he will have an apple of gold in his hand . then out of a bottle on the ground a giant head or spirit emerges and take bosse away to the land of faraway . bosse find out that he really mio the prince of the land of faraway . but there be a great evil man name kato who steal child and turn them into bird and legend say that only a prince can kill kato and save the child . so mio or bosse set of with friend jum jum or benke on an awesome adventure to defeat kato . the music in the film be so beautiful and haunt while you will be hum it for day . the acting by nick pickard a bosse or mio and christian bale a benke or jum jum be outstanding . i particularly love the lighting in the film while firelight creates creepy shadow across the set and really set the mood for the darker scene . the copy i have be old so the sound be really bad and since the movie be make in the late 1980s the video quality look sort of fuzzy and out of focus compare to new dvd . i would recommend this movie to every kid i have ever meet and to adult who be fantasy fan . ~leah .
