August Rush
starring Freddie Highmore (as August), Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, and Robin Williams
Rated PG
Now available on DVD
August Rush is a movie about miracles. A miracle happens when August Rush (or Evan Taylor as he was named when he was born) listens to the music everywhere around him and follows it.
He has been in an orphanage for boys since he was born, but is convinced his parents really want him; he is determined to find them somehow through the music he hears in the wind and everywhere around him. Evan hears and feels a connection to his parents, but everyone around him tries to convince him it isn’t real. He starts his adventure by running away from the orphanage and following the music in the air. The music Evan hears around him leads him to New York City where he discovers his talent for creating his own music. Evan goes through some difficult times but miraculously finds his way.
August Rush is a positive, uplifting movie that has more to it than the obvious story plot. There is a spiritual message here too. I leave it to you to find it. The message may be different for you than it was for me, but it is there. Miracles such as the one written into this story really do happen. Miracles are real, just look around and you may find a few. This movie also demonstrates the inner communication that frequently happens between parents and children.
I have read some reviews for this movie to see what others had to say. I found the good reviews, but I also found the very negative reviews. This movie is not an Action Movie full of fighting. It is basically a Romantic Movie. If you are looking for an uplifting family type movie, then I highly recommend August Rush. Sit back, relax, breathe away the daily stress, and enjoy the movie.
