The previews of this movie intrigue me. I finally got it today in the mail, I can’t say I was disappointed. August rush is about a boy who is roughly 12 years old who wants to find his parents, both of them were musicians and he inherited the gift from them.
August ended up being in a group home or orphanage but I don’t think in the late 90′s there were many of those lift. He was bullied a lot by the other kids who lived in the home, and eventually ended up running away from there to be able to find his parents. He ended up finding a boy who was playing guitar on the streets in NY, who was caught up with a crazy man. August showed he had a great amount musical talent and the guy was a leech. He was probably unsafe and frankly any man that unstable I am sure the police force wouldn’t have let him out and would have placed the children in a safe home. The dude was like on those diet pills that make a person all jumpy.
He eventually finds a church, which has a orphanage of black children and starts hiding there under one of the beds. Eventually he ends up directing the New York orchestras I believe. I won’t say what happened in the end of the movie but it was pretty good. It seemed to have ended abrutly.
