I have recently re-discovered that time is a big asset that I do not have access to, however having the priced ability of stealing moments from the unusually busy weekend(that heap of dirty clothes and the Cricket matches and unscheduled terrorist attacks and of course keeping track of the crumbling economy) for a movie. There is no particular category from where I pick my flicks, its more of random kind "August Rush"... not really subjected to genre analysis, yet could be placed in the pool of Musical movies, its entirely different from the enthralling entertainment as School of Rock or Almost Famous.
Director Kirsten Sheridan, seemed to be more into the divine power of music. The story is about how an orphaned musical prodigy (kinda reincarnation of Mozart) uses his gift to find his separated parents and bring them together to make one happy family.
Though the movie was not entirely of the boring kind yet the angelic imagination does dampen the audience(here I am the audience).
Child artist Freddie Highmore(of Finding Neverland fame), inherits his musical thread from his parents played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keri Russell.Layla's(Keri Russell) protective father falsely informs his daughter that her output of one night love did not survive birth and delivers the boy to the State, where the influence of all sounds great and small fill the boy with musical ambition and intuition.Now how he makes way from the orphanage into hands of Robie Williams (supposed to be taken from story of Rock Star Bono)and his band of homeless street singers. Then from the street to glories of the church and the University is the movie all about. Of course like all other musicals it has very touching notes, smooth sound. Finally the verdict is that you can give it a try, it was nominated for Oscar too. An absolutely delightful and warm film to watch in early winter days.
