Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This movie is truly heart warming. It has the most visceral and accurate presentation of the transcendent and joyous "aha" discovery-when one crosses the barrier from making sounds from a guitar and the universe flows through you-and "music" envelopes you and radiates out to the world. All that and it's a beautiful fairy tale love story.
It's a very nice movie for young children and women. I don't think men would enjoy watching it.It feels like a fairy tale story full of magic, with a touch of My Own Private Idaho, Oliver Twist and a few more stories, but is all positive, beautifully made and a pleasure to watch.The actors and director have done a great job! I guess only a woman could have such a soft, tender touch and make the movie that way.The music is absolutely beautiful as well. A pleasure to watch, thank you guys!PS: The best part - no bad language, real violence or nudity. I'm sick of 99% of the movies made, which pretend to be "realistic" with all their horrible disgusting violent stories/scenes. This one isn't one of them. It makes you feel good as a human being.
In my point of view,it is too made-up story.Music leads separated family and then put together.It is so rare.The most unbelievable thing is his talent.He has three super talents,dealing with music instruments,composing music,distinguishing the sound surrounding the city.He made it at first sight.It is amazing.
I remember the first time i ever seen august rush. I read the information and said this should be interesting. And i loved it so much. I love music and i love this movie. I will still be waiting for part 2 of this movie because i really wanna know how life went after reconnecting with his family after all these years. A total 10 from me. This movie touched me somewhere special i cry through the whole movie every time i watch it. Its romantic and funny and emotional. Every orphan or adopted kid should never stop looking for their birth parents because you never know if they are looking for you or thinking about you.
