August Rush - Luck, Magic, and Coincidence
To understand what is to be conveyed in August Rush, you must have a strong imagination in a world of fairy tale, only this way you may now enjoy and appreciate the entirety of the movies.
Freddie Highmore is the main character in this film, she played the little boy characters in Dickensian version. He has grown up in-group homeboys in upstate New York.
Here is the beginning of the story, when he heard the music in the world, of cornfields by the light of the moon. He believes that by following the sound of music that will take him to his parents, who eventually took him to the New York City, where the city noise turned into the rhythmic beginnings of a Stomp number.
In that city he was integrated with a group of street musicians are straight out of Oliver Twist, which is run by the Wizard (Robin Williams). Introduction in August with guitars and sheet music, making him started to like to produce music, and magically the music of his work has made a sensation.
In addition, like the stories another movie, August Rush is essentially just a story about luck, magic, and a lot of coincidence. His mother Lyla (Keri Russell) is a star concert cellist; his father Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is the guitarist and singer of a rock band.
They were finally reunited on a rooftop and share one perfect night of moonlight and music, and are separated after
If you have a story so heavy about the fascination appealing, however, than the supply August Rush. Highmore is a spectacularly unattractive person, and he plays the wise-beyond-his-years waif to perfection.
Furthermore, the film almost entirely cast with stars funny and recognizable, next to Russell, Meyers, and Williams, Terrence Howard plays a sympathetic employee of child protection, and actors from TV shows like Ugly Betty and Moonlight fill even small supporting roles. If nothing else, August Rush is good until you look for realism and practical.
Director Kirsten Sheridan is too fond of close-up camera shots and long, silent takes to make a movie that moves at a rapid clip, however.
Moreover, while it is impressive that all three stars are actually performing some of their onscreen music, for a movie that is all about a dazzling musical prodigy, the actual music is good, but not astounding.
While it is totally in character for a fairy tale to feature people who feel an instant and inexplicable connection to one another, August Rush relies on the device more than is strictly necessary, and unfortunately is content to have it stand in for actual character development.
The film is so super sweet and valuable as it seems, is also quite slow, and inclined to long sequences of nothing but light playing off shiny objects and rhythmic cacophony of sound.
The plot puts all on the conviction that a mother can directly a child who has never seen to recognize that the destiny pursues an active guiding hand, the music and all other forms of communication beyond, in ways that naturally understand if we just listen .
Although it seems very touchy-feely nonsense, August Rush manages with just enough sincerity and embracing the magic that can barely this side of saccharin to remain, most of the time.
