This is a story about an orphan music prodigy who overcame the difficulties and obstacles of the world through music to find his biological parents. I have never seen a living child prodigy in my life, and I don’t know how they work. Anyway, the children in the movie are very fascinating. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, the movie, don’t be too real, I am quite happy watching it. As for the plot, please watch it with the above point of view, or ask you to believe in the beauty, kindness and destiny of the world. In fact, none of the above is the point, let me talk about the highlights of this film below.
The first is Freddie Highmore. This kid appeared familiar to me, and I found out that he had participated in a lot of "blockbuster movies", Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Arthur et les Minimoys, The Spiderwick Chronicles... I didn’t really think of him before. It is eye-catching. It comes from the fact that he has continuously improved his acting skills since he stepped into the show business circle at the age of 7.
This child can be regarded as the protagonist of the protagonist this time, even the title is directly used for his role in the movie August Rush, his sharp edge far surpasses Jonathan Rhys Meyers and even Robin Williams. I especially like the maturity and determination on his immature face, the low and slightly hoarse childish voice, and every word he says is like a thoughtful look in his eyes. The scene visited by the staff of the Children's Welfare Department almost completely sinked me. Seeing those sensitive but curious blue-green eyes showed begging eyes, tears of forbearance flowed down my cheeks, and the corners of my mouth were squeezed. A faint smile...my heart is crying: Brother, sister will support you in the next two years~
The second highlight is Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' singing again. I believe anyone who knows Jonathan Rhys-Meyers will never forget the famous Velvet Goldmine. In the film, Brian Slade fascinates how many ignorant girls, and all the songs are sung by the actors themselves. August Rush, nine years have passed. The beautiful and enchanting Jonathan has been completely Manned. I have to say that the changes in his image during this period made me very disappointed (sorry, I have a bad taste), but after nine years, he Singing on the screen again is really rare. Now that Jonathan sings rock and roll again, the seductiveness in the singing is no longer, and what is left is more maturity and emotion, which is worth listening to.
The last and biggest highlight is music. Various types of music are mixed in between, from rock to classical, they are mixed with each other but are extremely harmonious. My favorite Elga Violin Concerto also appeared. I really like the idea of the movie: Music is everywhere, but only someone is listening. This original sound must be played.
Another: Amanda from Ugly Betty actually played a small role in the film, and I didn't recognize it for a while. . .
