August Rush

First at foremost, just want to shout out to my best guy friend Tommy Boy a very HAPPY 23rd Birthday! Bro, you are the best. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

I watched August Rush today. It’s a beautiful show. Mainly because the gist of the show is about music, so it touches a string in my heart. Indeed music is a language by itself.

August Rush is about a little boy who seeks to find his parents. Raised in an orphanage since he was a baby, he ventures out at age eleven into the streets of New York. By a twist of fate, he was talent spotted and was made a busker. After a raid, he ends up at a church and was once again talent spotted and was given a spot in Julliard’s. During class time, Rush will compose his own music. As magical as it sounds (it must be in view of Christmas), his works caught the eyes of his tutor and wah la! he was given a chance to debut his works as a composer no less at a Spring time concert in central park.

Adding to the magical atmosphere, Rush’s real parents happen to be talented musicians as well. His mother happened to be invited to be the guest cellist for the same concert. On the other hand, his father, a fabulous Irish guitarist turns up in New York to find Rush’s mother.

And Rush’s dream comes true. He found his parents.

Ahhh…. Now I’m all set for Christmas. =)
