August Rush

August Rush was a movie I had been looking forward to seeing for a long time. After a series of awful movies, this proved to be respite!

We decided to watch it at Sterling. Michelle and I went out and out from work and Chetna and Ruth joined us there.

The movie is about a child -Evan Tayor alias August Rush (Freddie Highmore) who is given up for adoption and who grows into an unusually gifted child who hears music all around him. He can turn the rustling of wind through a wheat field into a beautiful symphony with himself at its center, the composer and conductor. He holds an unwavering belief that his parents are alive and want him as much as he wants them.

The music leads him to New York where he is introduced to the soul-stirring power of music and given a platform none less than the Juilliard  - to showcase his talent, but more importantly holds firm to his belief that his parents - Lyla Novacek ( Keri Russell) and Louis Connelly ( Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) can hear his music and will find him. Unknown to him they have already begun that journey.

Its a must see movie for those who love music and happy endings.
