This past weekend I watched a great movie with some friends. I’m not a huge movie watcher, and especially when I’ve never heard of the movie, but even though I was a bit leary I watched it anyway. I’m glad I did! I was won over by the end and I’ve been recommending watching it to people since then - I enjoyed it that much!
So you’re wondering what this amazing movie is right? Well it’s August Rush, a movie about an orphaned boy and the music he hears that connects the world and his parents to him. It’s got a very interesting cast, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, Robin Williams, and Freddie Highmore to name a couple of the actors but it comes together well.
The movie is a bit cheesy so be prepared - but it’s definitely a little sad, and a little heartwarming all in one. I think my background in music connected me to the movie, but I think it grabs a bit of the musical dreamer in all of us.
I even got the soundtrack earlier this week so I could rock it out in the office - I really “Bari Improv” and “Ritual Dance” both by Kaki King.
