Summary: 5 Stars
"The music is all around, all you have to do...is listen", August Rush
Evan is an 11 year boy, who lived all his life in an adoption agency, waiting all his life to find his parents, whom he is sure love him and can't wait to see him.
He listens to all the musical sounds in nature, which he believes will help him find his parents. His parents did not know he even existed, but they always sensed a feeling in the air that he does. He follows the music until he reaches New York. He learns how to play music there until he develops into becoming a genius musician. He joins one of the best music school there. After a short while he becomes a professional music compser. One night he composes music infront of thousands of people, turns his back and finds his parents looking at him with pride and love, and they finally get back together with him after long 11 years.
This movie is magnificent. The story is very original, the casting is great, and its very emotional and touchy as well.
A movie about the very precious relationship betwen parents and their children, particularly between a mother and her child.
We take our parents for granted, however there are many people who would wish to spend 1 day with their parents, when they can't.
Love your parents. Give them the care and love they deserve. You will not know how much they love you until you yourself become a parent.
Wonderful film!
DVD Review: August Rush
Summary: 5 Stars
Unbelievable and yet believable. Impossible that this movie could come together this way and yet you want to believe it so bad. Quite a part for Robin Williams. He can play a creep so well as he has in other movies. Do savants learn that fast?? Perfect characters for the movie and Kerri Russell is so incredibly beautiful. Nuff said.
Description of August Rush
There's music in the wind and sky. Can you hear it? And there's hope. Can you feel it? The boy called August Rush can. The music mysteriously draws him, penniless and alone, to New York City in a quest to find - somehow, someway - the parents separated from him years earlier. And along the way he may also find the musical genius hidden within him. Experience the magic of this rhapsodic epic of the heart starring Freddie Highmore (as August), Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard and Robin Williams. "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales," August says. Open your heart and listen. You'll believe, too.Music has long been considered a universal language with the power to bring people together, but can the simple act of playing music possibly unite a child with a mother and father who live in two different cities and don't even know of the child's existence? Having shared one extraordinary night, classical cellist Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) and Irish singer and songwriter Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) were a union meant to be that was torn apart by circumstances and a protective father (William Sadler). After eleven years, both Lyla and Louis have given up performing only to find that they are unhappy and searching for a sense of fulfillment that will ultimately lead both artists back to music and performing. Evan (Freddie Highmore) is an 11-year old orphan who's grown up hearing music in everything around him and is convinced that his real parents want him and will find him with the help of music. Driven by his innate musical genius and a powerful compulsion to perform before the world, Evan runs away from the orphanage and is initially taken in by a street man known as Wizard (Robin Williams) who encourages his musical talent and renames him August Rush and, later, by a local priest who arranges for August to receive a Julliard education. August is a child prodigy who excels beyond even the wildest expectations and earns the opportunity of a lifetime--a chance to perform in front of an enormous audience in New York's Central Park. The question is; can his performance possibly reach the audience August really craves? While elements of this film are completely unbelievable (take August's instant prowess on the guitar or his immediate and sophisticated grasp of musical notation and musical theory), the message of the universality of music and the notion that "the music is all around us, all you have to do is listen" is both compelling and powerful. --Tami Horiuchi
