It's the music that matters, after all, and there are a few pieces here that are sure to tug on the heartstrings. The film is as much fantasy as it is tear-jerker drama, but if you can get past the unlikelihood of its plot, you may just enjoy the ride. Wizard sees greatness in Evan, dubbing him with the stage name "August Rush" and plotting the boy's exploitation for his own personal gains.Īs the boy makes his way to a Harlem church where he teaches himself to read and write music, then on to Julliard School of Music where he begins work on his first symphony (all in a matter of weeks), his mother and father are pulled inexorably back to New York City where fate may be working toward an unlikely (but perhaps inevitable) reunion. Evan is discovered by Maxwell 'Wizard' Wallace (Robin Williams), an unscrupulous "foster parent" to several young homeless musicians. Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers play his parents (each struggling musicians), who have no idea that their child exists - they haven't even seen each other since the night of his conception.Įvan escapes from the orphanage and makes his way to New York City "following the music," eventually realizing that he himself has a supreme gift for music. And August Rush is, at its heart, a film about music's place in our lives and the magic that it can bring us.Įvan Taylor (Freddie Highmore) is an eleven year old boy living in an orphanage, convinced that his parents will one day come for him.
