Movie Story
A charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, orphaned by circumstance. Years later, performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams) who gives him the name August Rush, the child (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

Might be sugary, but organic, whole, healthy sugar. Love is not dead even though most people want to kill it. Faith is not dead and music is everywhere. The movie is well done and hopefully it will offer an alternative view to those who only see s... around them.
posted by ewollc on Nov 28, 2007It was an amazing and up lifting movie!!! It renews ones hope and faith in life and it makes you see how not to give up and to keep believing. I've always heard music in everything around me and within me but the most wonderful music I hear is in the sound of people's heart beats and in their smiles. Freddie and the rest of the cast were OUTSTANDING and I will watch this movie and listen to the CD over and over!!!! To everyone involved, THANK YOU!!!!
