AUGUST RUSH , A MUST SEE MOVIE
while not many are aware of this movie, many are at a great loss too cause this movie is simply one of the best movie i ever watched....and simply the movie cause my eyes to be swollen for the past couple of days.....a lovely movie on family and relationships that one should never miss out....... i just love the whole combination of this movie ranging from the little boy character (the boy who acted in charlie's and the chocolate factory) to the arrangement of music...superb in short....
Tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth. and during August's journey to find his parents, he learned more about music - how to play a guitar n even composed the Rhapsody music played by the orchestra team....his talent in music is simply inherited by both his parents and for him, live is all about music.....
The acting by the characters were excellent and they choose the right people for the right characters. There's not much dialogs in this movie and majority of the story is told through the emotional expressions of the actors and via the music. the little boy in the movie, Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) is the cream of the crop as far as child actors go. He amazed me in this film. he is truly adorable, a great actor in future and he definitely has more to offer.
Beautiful cinematography! The opening scene in the wheat field is just breathtaking. The score is fabulous. Let's face it, in a movie like this, you've got to have great music to pull it off.
I enjoyed "August Rush" tremendoulsy. I haven't been moved to tears like this by a film in a long time at the very begining of the story right till the end. The story was simply inspiring and the boy's unyielding faith and will to never give up on his dream to find his family really hit me. it makes me treasure my family even more. Kudos to the writers and director for ending the film the way they did. Instead of a sappy reunion scene, they ended it beautifully with the crescendo of the music and just the close-up on August as he sees his parents standing there for the first time.
