I’ve been looking for an alternate thing to do before sleeping at nighttime so that I will not force myself to read another book because when I do my eyes strain which leads to terrible headache the next morning! Haven’t been back to the opto though.. hihi Lazy mee! So, I’ve been hooked with – guess what! Dvd marathoning! Hehe if there’s such word! That means one movie a night. Or maybe two. [:
Last night I watched August rush. And honestly this is the second time I cried over a movie. The first was I am Sam. I didn’t expect that much in this movie though. I thought it was the typical movie. And though some parts of the movie were flashbacks I found out twas interesting at first.. and moving in the latter. I love Evan – the child wonder whom I find adorable and such a sweet soft spoken baby, the soundtrack, the way the movie uses music as the medium for the child to find his own parents and believed that he communicates with them through it and the hands who portrayed Evan’s for the guitar parts. Kika King is such a guitar god! Ok, I know I don’t have to relate to you the plot of the story. Let me just share this to you. . .
My favorite part of the film was when Evan aka August Rush [Freddie Highmore] unintentionally met his biological father – Louis [Jonathan Rhys Meyers] in the park where Wizard [Robin Williams] just forced him to leave the rehearsals of the philharmonic orchestra and let him play there instead to earn money. The scene where they exchanged guitars [Evan plays a Gibson dreadnought; haven’t found the guitar model for Louis though.. but I’ll take a guess it’s Yamaha! hehe] and both played the “dueling guitar” [i'm not quite sure if this is the title]. For me, it’s like hey Evan you have finally found him! [: I know, it’s kind of predictable in some point but I was moved when Louis asked Evan why he won’t play in the concert that night . . . and he told Evan :
And the outro goes a lil sumthin like this :
Sometimes, you just need a little flick to shaken you up! And I am glad that I did [:

Brave kiddo. He went to the concert. He believed in the stranger/Louis/his father. And still believed that music can bring back his family together. And so he did! End of story --- hehe sabi ko naman predictable ending di ba [: and I don’t care if some would have claim it that the movie was too lame, poorly acted, or uber cheesy. Because it definitely hit me like a big yellow school bus! It’s about keeping the faith on what you believe in. Holding on. Patiently living. And being courageous. So now i've come into thinking, i am still on the process. I’m still completing my puzzle. And I’ll let you know when I ‘m done.“You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Coz anytime something bad happens to you, that’s the one place you can escape to and just let it go. I
learned it the hard way. And anyway, look at me. Nothing bad’s gonna happen.You gotta have a little faith.”
And the outro goes a lil sumthin like this :
"The music is all around you, all you have to do is listen.”
- August Rush
