a truly wonderful and magical film

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2008)

this is a one in a million film about love, music and faith, to all the users who have posted negative comments for this film all i can say is most of you have no idea about screen acting, the power of imagination, and what true cinema can do. firstly to those who wonder at the boys ability to play the guitar straight off or to be able to compose instantly, i will remind you of a certain W.A. Mozart who at the age of four years old went to his fathers harpsichord and started playing, he was composing by the age of seven, he like our hero here was a child prodigy, in the film they make this statement, so why is it hard to believe, there is a 7 year Japanese boy that plays guitar better than most bar band guitar players, he play a normal size guitar which is bigger than him he is on youtube, he is not alone. this film was beautifully acted brilliantly shot and with more heartfelt moments than i have experienced in many a long time. to those who hate a film like this, i say pity on you for a severe lack of imagination and emotion in your lives, to those of us that get it, august rush will always be a special film
