Yesterday night it was time to see some music so this was the choice, August Rush with Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
This is the story about an orphan, a little boy that believes in music, that music will bring him his parents back. Lyla and Louis, two musicians from different backgrounds, fall in love one night and never see each other again. One night was enough, she's pregnant, they can't stop thinking about each other. The pain is too much and they both give up on music, she has an accident and her father tells her the baby didn't survive.
All this has a soundtrack of moving sounds, gentle music. The boy is alive and, just like his parents, loves music, loves to sit still and hear the sounds all around him, a footstep, the cars, the subway, people talking, electricity...
Music brought his parents together that night and his music will bring them together once again, this time it will bring them to him.
One of the things I like about this movie is that is shows different realities: two lovers separated, the man that can't forget that night, a mother whose child she thinks is dead, a kid with such a love for music, street kids with no parents, with only a wizard to take advantage of them. What I like about this movie is simply the music, that love for music, the belief that with that one concert, that one moment, music will reach everyone.
I wanted a bit more from the end, that felt too short, ending so soon.
For me music is the soul's window, it can move you, embrace you, take you across the world, music can help you when you're sad or happy, music is the soundtrack of life.
"Music is all around us, all you have to do is listen"
