~*-So beautiful... it feels like magic-*~

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2008)

I hesitated before watching this movie, but after the first 10 minutes I knew I will enjoy "August Rush" as much as I enjoy a beautiful sunny day. Everything is about that immortal hope and the simple music life offers you daily, the kind of music you just have to stop in the middle of the park and listen to , listen like you will never hear anything again.
It's a beautiful love story, between two lovers from different social worlds, but perfect for one another, they fell in love the minute they've first seen each other and then they are separated by faith. From their consumed love, a son is born, of whom the mother believes to be dead and the father knows nothing of.
More then 10 years later, the family is brought together by their unique love for music, by faith and by love. It's incredible the way you can feel their love, although they were separated and knew nothing about each other. All the time they just knew a piece of them was missing.
The moment when Evan turns around and he sees Lyla and Louis watching him proudly, it's pure magic. There is no need for words... Just the look on their faces and the music. It's amazing, it feels like it's a real story about a grand music maestro, like Beethoven.
Everything is so perfect, you completely forget that's actually Jonathan Rhys Meyers and the little guy is Freddie Highmore... The way this movie was conceived is so beautiful, you forget about everything and enter a wonderfully different world, every artistic human being should live in.
