August Rush

Few movies leave you with the overwhelming urge to share them with those who haven’t seen them. Movies that when you are finish watching them, you actually feel uplifted and enlightened. I don’t know if I can count those kind of movies on two hands.

One very obvious exception to that norm is a movie I watched last night called “August Rush”. It’s about a child musical prodigy who is taken from his mother at birth and raised in a boys home. His parents were both musicians, but the boy is much more – he can hear

music in his head and when he finally gets the chance to handle musical instruments, his genius shows.

I don’t know exactly what it was about the movie – maybe the fact that it didn’t have any of the trash that almost every other movie has today – but it was just really enjoyable. I like good music, so maybe that’s part of the reason I liked it. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a musical talent like a prodigy. But more than that, the movie seemed very hopeful. It was even very emotional at times.

I highly recommend August Rush to everyone. If you are looking for a good family that anyone of any age can watch and enjoy, this is it.
