Simple but powerful

August Rush is a movie that I stayed up late to watch the night before. In fact, the plot is very simple. It tells the story of a musical prodigy who was separated from his parents at birth, and how he used music to bring his parents together. In the whole story, the legendary overpowering everything, too good to be true, the miracle that ordinary people can't believe, is actually a bit old-fashioned (sometimes people really need such inspirational stories, especially after watching too many human tragedies recently), but the actors play Very sincere, especially Xiao Qiao (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who I didn't like very much before, this time I removed the exaggerated style that made me a little uncomfortable in acting, and honestly became a rock singer + loving father, and also personally Singed several rock songs, and the scene was very good. Several powerful actors in Hollywood are all talented. Not only are they good at acting, they are also very skilled in singing. It can be imagined that the basic skills trained by foreign acting schools are quite solid. Some of the actors I liked very much in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan are very disappointing. They are not very good at singing. For example, Liu Ruoying has a too thin voice and can't master the breath well. For example, Tony Leung, singing is far from professional, such as "Amber" and Yuan Quan in "Secret Love in the Peach Blossom Land", such as Huang Lei and other people who acted and sang, mostly gave me more disappointment than surprise.

Xiao Qiao is actually very talented, Irish, and is said to be proficient in six languages. I have seen him act with not only one accent, but also a lark. In the early "Ghost Town", he played an ambitious and utilitarian Social Climber, and a pear-devouring performance made me disgusted. The film is a stage play style, and the performances are more exaggerated. Probably this kind of plot It was also carefully designed to express the greedy mentality of this man's upstart (this style of eating fruit was also prominently shown in "The Lord of the Rings" 2. The stubborn old king sent his son to death, and the camera was cruel on the battlefield. The bloody fight and the old king greedily devoured the fruit, and the bright red fruit pulp was splashed back and forth between the two scenes), I was very sweaty, full of unhappiness, and felt that the rendering was overdone. In Match point, Xiao Qiao played the role of a social climber who is aggrieved and seeking perfection. He is deliberate, making people feel very sad but can't hate it. That kind of gambler's mentality really makes people shake their heads and break into a cold sweat for him. , this is his pinnacle. He played Henry VIII in the TV series "The Tudors" but I didn't like it. He overemphasized eroticism and diluted the real sense of history, but this may be mainly because of the requirements of the script. After watching these three films, his ambitious look has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I didn't expect to appear in August Rush in a rare fresh and healthy image this time, which is really surprising.

The little boy August Rush is Peter Pan in "Looking for Neverland". He has beautiful dimples, a quiet and introverted temperament, and a weak appearance, but in the film he bursts with amazing spiritual power, showing his extraordinary willpower. People are very emotional.

All of a sudden, I feel very emotional, everything works together, even though man is so weak and limited, like a lily in the field, like a sparrow that can no longer be ordinary, but God’s care is always wonderful, and it is often seen in small and insignificant groups of people. Make people feel magical. As a result, the bullying often leads to losses, but the crushed reeds are not broken, and the crippled lights are not extinguished. Instead, they take care of each other through great love beyond their own, and transmit strong spiritual power.
