August Rush

            This movie is about a young boy who is an orphan and is very gifted musically. His mom gave him up unwillingly and his father did not know that he had a child. Both of his parents happen to also be very talented musicians. The boy named August, uses his music to help him get closer to finding his parents. August runs away to pursue music, however his talents are recognized by a character named The Wizard, who only wants to profit off the kid. August struggles to free himself from the Wizard but meets friends along the way to support him.

            I loved this movie because it has some sad parts but also has some very rewarding moments. August believes with his whole heart that if he keeps playing his music for as many people as possible, then his parents will hear it too and they will find him. August has had a lot of disparities in his life, he rises above and stays true to what he believes, which is very inspiring.

            I think people who might like this book are people who believe in love and destiny. August does not give up hope and pursues his dream. It is a feel-good movie that will inspire you. I would recommend watching this movie because it is a beautiful story with a great ending that leaves you believing in love and hope. Also, the music and singing are very beautiful to listen to, especially when August is playing the guitar.
