A film Ive enjoyed recently is August Rush.

Its an American film, and its quite

different for other films. What made me want to see it was the triller and I was also
interested to see what its like for a child trying to find find his parents.
I was directed by Kristen Sheridan and written by Paul Castro, Nick Castle and James
V. Hart, and produced by Richard Barton Lewis, and it stars Freddie Highmore, Ken
Rusell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Williams and Terrence Howard.
The film is set in present day New York. The main character is a musical prodigy
called Evan Taylor. The plot is that Lyla and Louis have a chance meeting after their
respective concerts and sleep together, but Lyla doesnt acknowledge him and Lyla
eventually realizes she is pregnant. Her father secretly puts her son up for adoption,
allowing her to believe that the baby died. Eleven year later, Evan Taylor begins to
unravel the mystery of who he is. All the while Evans mother is searching for him
whilst his father is searching for her. New name of Evan is August Rush and he has a
performance with Lyla but she doesnt know.
Eventually Lyla, having finished her part of the concert, begins walking away from the
park but is attracted back towards Augusts performance. Louis also arrived and spots
Lyla, reuniting with her. August finishes his rhapsody and smiles at Lyla and Louis,
realizing that they are his parents.
Although, the dialogue of the final part is brief. I really liked about this film. There is
quite of Drama, and there are some amusing and positive characters, specially August
Rush. The soundtrack is good with a mixture of classical and rock music. I would
recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in music or just wants to enjoy a
good film.
