DVD Reviews of August Rush
DVD Review: August Rush was Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I first viewed this movie about a year ago and I knew I would purchase it. The music was great. I have three children that love music and play instruments. They enjoyed the idea that music binds people together. I loved the characters. My only wish was for an ending where August and his parents actually speak, but in a way I guess that would take away from the whole theme of the movie. DVD Review: August Rush
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic and inspirational movie of how a deep and determined desire can be realized with unstoppable determination to follow your dreams and make them come true. I love this movie especially at this time in my life when it really speaks to me!!!!DVD Review: I Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie when it came out and just loved it. It was a winter night and as we walked out of the theater big flakes of snow were falling in the quiet night. It was such a beautiful finish to this wonderful movie. I was truly mesmerized by August Rush, and the snow added the perfect touch to the evening. I have since ordered it on DVD to add to my 'favorites' collection. This is a must see!DVD Review: Passion and love for another transverses time for two people,their love child,feels that passion & love and turns it into music.

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
