Movie Review

Could you imagine growing up thinking you're an orphan? Or knowing you're parents are out there who may, or may not want you? Everybody has a kind of comfort blanket, or something to turn to to make eveything better. Well in August Rush, 11 year old Evan Taylor grew up in a boys home, always being picked on and known as a "freak," because he follows the music. After sneaking out, smack in the middle of New York, he find that all there are some good things and quite a few bad places where the music takes him. He eventually finds himself as a prodigy at Juliard, one of the top music academy's in the nation, where he actually gets to write his own piece and conducts it. Somehow through all the music he finds that maybe music can reunite families.
