To me, this movie is perfection.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"August Rush" is a wonderful story about life and love. The reuniting of parents with a child they didn't know they had, and with each other, happens through unknown feelings or senses of the missing person or persons. The vehicle that connects the three main characters here is natural talent for music. In the case of the boy, August, it's an innate musical genius. Something like this may not be as far-fetched as one may think. The medical and other sciences are researching in many fields of human life from conception, to genetics and heredity. New discoveries are pointing to biological connectedness only imagined in the past. This is between parents and children, siblings, and even relatives removed from a direct bloodline. Some studies have found twins separated at birth and adopted out, knowing some way that they have a twin brother or sister. Other studies are looking at siblings who have a sense of a brother or sister who is not alive. As research continues and we learn more about the complex make up of human life, we may one day come to realize that we all are brothers and sisters in the human race. This is a superb story about the beauty and sacredness of all life - not just that of the specially gifted. August shows us that by his observation of others, and amazement for what they do. This is a fine film for the whole family. And, it could be a good learning vehicle if shown in the schools.The film has touches of humor in places. Here's a favorite line. Louis's fiancé is turned off at his family reunion and leaves in a huff. As she drives off, Marshall says, "Louis, aren't you supposed to be in the car with the girl as she drives off into the sunset?"

In my point of view,it is too made-up story.Music leads separated family and then put together.It is so rare.The most unbelievable thing is his talent.He has three super talents,dealing with music instruments,composing music,distinguishing the sound surrounding the city.He made it at first sight.It is amazing.

August Rush (2007) is like a modern day fairytale. The movie is one to be enjoyed and it's meant to enchant it's audience. The plot centers around a young orphan boy who is a musical prodigy. He is on a mission to find his parents, with whom he has never meet. His mother (Keri Russell) is a musician who went to Juliard, she went to a party one night with a girlfriend of hers and ended up having sex with a male band member. She got pregnant as a result of that tryst. She was hit by a car and rushed to the hospital, her very controlling father forged her signature and put the baby up for adoption and told her when she awoke that she'd lost the baby. She doesn't contact the father or anything and they all go their separate ways. About 11 years later, the son is on a search for his parents, claiming he can sense them and he follows the music. The movie really takes off when he is searching for his parents and they are searching for each other too. That's where the fairytale part of the film kicks in. The acting is good for the most part. I really loved Jonathan Rhys Meyers in his role, very good casting decision. Russell was good as Lyla, the mother. And I loved Freddie Highmore as August Rush. He is such a great actor, especially for him to be that young. Robin Williams is good here too, he plays the antagonist, a kind of role he didn't usually play. This movie is just enchanting and I loved it! The writing isn't like Oscar worthy or anything but it's a very well made movie that'll keep your undivided attention the entire way through and will leave you feeling great. 10/10!

You must see it, you must hear it. Because film about the magic love and magic music.
