August Rush

The film is a musical drama that won many awards and was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2008 Oscars.

Starring Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, Robin Williams, and directed by Kirsten Sheridan.

Synopsis…… About 12 years ago, on a moonlit rooftop in Washington Square,

a young cellist Lyla Novecek and Irish singer Louis Connelly met on their way home from a street musician’s concert called (Moondance) and fell in love.

After the most exciting night of her life, Lyla promised Louis that she would come back and see him. However, due to her father’s prohibition, Lyla was never able to see Louis again.

Louis became depressed and gave up playing the guitar and his music. Lyla also lost her dream of love, and a few months later, they believe they have lost their baby in a car accident.

Their orphaned son (Freddie Highmore) must use his innate musical talent as a clue to find his parents.

This is a great film, and one that both those who haven’t seen it and those who have already seen it should watch again.
