August Rush
Starring Freddie Highmore along with a great cast including Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Keri Russell and the legendary Robin William.
The movie unfolds with a somewhat past-present chronology as in some scenes we can see several flashbacks of Lyla Novacek (Keri Russell) and Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who had a fleeting romance, in which Evan Taylor (Freddie Highmore) was conceived. Lyla's father, Thomas Novacek (William Sadler) disagrees with the affair and does everything he can to put an end to it, to the point where on Lyla's due date, he signs up for adoption and assures Lyla that her son died at birth. And it is not until his deathbed that he confesses his terrible crime. Lyla then embarks on a search for her son.
On the other hand Louis did not continue with his musical career, he is now a businessman. However one day Louis decides to play again with his old friends, and then he is seen in a square with his guitar and approaches a boy who happens to be in that same square playing some melodies on his guitar. He leaves him some coins and sits down to talk to him and ask him some questions, between them they do a little duet with the guitars and then Louis, surprised by his ability, asks him how long he had been learning to play the instrument. To his surprise Evan answers that it has only been 6 months. Louis, surprised by such a short time for the talent he had just appreciated, asks him where he learned to play in such a short time. Evan replies that he attended a prestigious arts conservatory called "Julliard" and will be giving a concert that night. Louis is a bit skeptical. But he continues their conversation in which Evan gives him an example of what was going on in his life. Louis wisely replies that Never quit to your music, no matter what happens because anytime something bad happens to you, it's the one place you can escape and just let it go.
Evan's life has been very hard. He has lived in an orphanage since he was a child. He always wanted to find his parents and followed them through the music trail. He could hear music everywhere. He meets a young Arthur and then they become good friends. Arthur takes him to his shelter and there he meets Maxwell "Wizard" Wallace (Robin Williams), the owner of the shelter where he houses different children in the same code as Evan and Arthur, who during the day he orders them to give small performances in different places of the city in exchange for money. Wizard, despite creating a bond with Evan and giving him the nickname "August Rush", manipulates him at his convenience.
Evan manages to escape a police operation against Wizard and arrives at a church where he makes a new friend and demonstrates his talent. With the help of the priest he gets a place at the Julliard Conservatory of the Arts to audition. After being impressed with her talent at her young age, she is given a chance. But all seems to be cut short when Wizard finds him and impersonates his father. Evan, terrified, does not deny such a fallacy and goes with him. In view of everything that has happened, Evan's despair grows until a young man approaches him in one of his presentations in the square and after giving him a few tips, he sits down to share that moment with him, making a duet and advising him about the situation he was in. The innocent boy still does not know that it is his real father.
Arthur helps Evan escape this time from Wizard's hands and manages to get to his concert scheduled for that night. He arrived before his turn, after the performance of a former student of the conservatory who would also be giving a performance at that concert with her cello, it was Lyla Novacek.
As Lyla was leaving the park, she started to hear the orchestra playing and something in her made her go back to the stage. Louis was in a car with his friends of the band after a concert and when he was in a street he saw a poster where they showed the presentation of the park, when he saw that his beloved Lyla would be there he didn't doubt it and got out of the car to go running to that place.
Louis once on the stage from a distance could see his beloved Lyla was also there, he stands next to her, takes her hand and both enjoyed the magnificent presentation of the great August Rush. At the end Evan turns around and sees his parents on the other side of the stage and leaves us a message is narrated in which he says "Music is everywhere, all you have to do is listen to it".
It's one of my favorites movies because it gives different messages about the meaning of music and at the same time about fighting to achieve your dreams in life, standing in front of those people who in some way or another are obstacles that prevent you from reaching them.
