August Rush review
You can’t get any better than this film when it comes to sound. August rush is about an orphan boy that is trying to reach out to his parents with the power of music. The sound track is fantastic. The film try’s to tell us that music is more than just music it’s a powerful tool too. Kirsten Sheridan has done a great job in showing us this; she does this with a lot of diegetic sound that can only be heard by Evan Taylor ‘August Rush' (Freddie Highmore ) so most people would debate that its Non-diegetic sound. The sound track is up for sale bringing in more money to the $31,655,091 (USA) they already have. Some well-known actors are also shown like Robin Williams (known for; Night at the Museum 1&2 and Happy feet 1&2), Freddie Highmore (known for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Spiderwick Chronicles) and Terrence Howard (known for Iron Man and The Ledge) with all these famous actors the film was going to be a big hit mostly in the USA as most of them are American. TH Director has done an excellent job on reaching out to the audience using the power of music on what some would say on a low budget compared to the high budget big film get today with only $30,000,000 to play with, and she has done a great job with it. The film is based in New York where there a big lights and the theme of great things always happen there. I don’t normally watch films more than once but this film I’ve seen more than 10 times this is what the film does to the audience it draws them in to keep on seeing the film though the power of love and music.
