I have always been a movie addict especially those movies that are series as the take time to archive their plans thereby making it look like a reality.so being a movie addict I have a group where we come together to discuss the latest movies in town and then we either share the movies our selves or most times we go online to watch the movies.
So on one of those trips,one of my friends who happened to be a member of our movie group told me something about the block burster called empire,he said it was a movie drama and at hearing that music I immediately detested it but after sometime I decided to give it a trial so I went on line but before that he gave me the cd plate to watch and I collected it from him,this was the season 1 of that movie tittled"Empire".the beginning dipicts of a young girl who was on a bald head singing in side a studio and was being corrected by a handsome fair young man named lucious lyon who was the owener of the music studio.then going ahead the movie began to unfold some of the harsh realities of life,which includes that sometime for one to be able to become something meaningful one would be eager to commit a crime or do something that is against the law.lucious lyon found himself in this corner, having come from a poor family and from a mother who had no iota of love in her towards him. He needed to break this cycle of poverty inorder to become somebody whose lifestyle was to be envied greatly. During his youthful age their was this girl whom he met at college and they started seeing each other from there,the love was so strong that she went(cookie lyon) against the advice of her parents even when they threatened to disown her if she went ahead with lucious who was a young upcoming rapper then,and rappers were known to be irresponsible as at that time.
So they came together and wedded despite the fact that the two families were not in support of marriage, lucious being the fact that he needed to do something out of the line to raise money so as to break even in the rap music game assisted by his wife went into the selling of cocaine and other hard drugs.it was when he was doing it that he was cought and his lovely wife decided to bear the consequences for the incident believing that with the money they realized from the sales of that drugs, lucious could be able to start his career in music,so she was sentenced to 17years in prison and while in the prison lucious due to some bad decisions he made,he lost all the money the realized from the sales of the drugs and because he didn't want the sacrifice the wife made to be in vain,he then went and robbed one of his friends "fellin streets",he robbed this fellow to raise the money he used in breaking into lime light,so this became the starting of the music company called empire, within a short period of time went public and became one of the highest if not the highest in music business. Going back on the memory lane,before cookie the wife of lucious lyon was sentenced to prison,she had already bore lucious three child and they happen to be boys all through,first Andrew, second Jamal and the third who happened to be the last hakim. Andrew had a mental problem,Jamal was a gay and hakim was a pompous child, though Jamal and hakim were both into music,Jamal majored as an rnb while his younger brother hakim was a rapper.a good one.
They continued to live and trive despite the fact their mother was in jail,later their mother after doing seventeen years was released. On getting back home she was neglected by her children but at the end of the day she was accepted.
Empire is not just a movie but an advise on how to keep the family one and equally how to survive in life.along the line the relations of lucious and friends started looking for a way to bring him down,they went as far using his son to set a car bomb which although he survived it because his son recovered but it made him to loose one of his legs. Their was equally a time son and father were fighting against each other in order to find who would sit on the company's throne .Jamal survived a gun shot, lucious lyon survived a bomb attack,hakim equally survived a gun attack,so to say the family are survivors is not a bad thing after all.at the end of the day they all came together as a one big family apart from Jamal who had gone to make his life a better one in a far away country. Enjoy
