Great Artistic Job

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2008)

As I said once in "Silence Becomes You" I liked very much the whole artistic touch in August Rush. Music can be seen from any perspective you like, and one of them is the perspective of feelings. One kid, hearing any kind of sound and melting it down into music, only because he misses his parents; that is a really good plot for developing a feeling's art movie.
We are talking about a prodigy of music, a new Mozart or Bach. Why could not be August a new Bach? We do not really know what Bach thought while he was composing or playing, so it could perfectly be his mother or father. That is why I liked the movie, it makes me think about how different can music represent for any of us.
Also, August Rush gave us a nice soundtrack, ending with the most important track of the movie: The August's Rhapsody, and a great and simple message: Music it's everywhere, we only have to listen. All of that mixed up with beautiful camera takes and pictures.
I really recommend this movie if you are a musician, specially a musician who is wondering what music really is (maybe you found something personal in the movie).
