Movie: August Rush

Last week I saw a wonderful movie called August Rush. It’s a kind of romantic drama, because it’s a story about of love in just one night with musicians.
The girl was a classic musician and the guy was a rock star, they met each other in New York after their concert at a party.
They stayed together just that night and the girl became pregnant. She lived in Chicago and he in San Francisco, and they never talked again after that night.
After a discussion with her father, the girl left the restaurant, where they were having dinner, and she suffered a car accident. She was taken to the hospital, she had complications during surgery and when she woke up her father told her that the baby has died. But it was a lie. He gave the baby for adoption!
Eleven years after, the baby grown into a young boy and he was living in a home for boys and the girl’s finally told her the truth, because he was dying and he felt guilty. This is the reason he told her the truth.
Immediately, she started to look for her son. She went to New York but her son leave the home for boys, because he believes that his parents are alive and to be found he needs to make music. So, he starts to play music on the streets.
On the streets he met a guy who was an uncruspulous character who “represents” a lot of children who make music on the streets. This guy gives a new name to the boy: August Rush.
But this guy wasn’t good. He took all money that August earned on streets. So, August ran away and while he was looking for a safe place to sleep, he heard a song coming from a church. It was a choral and the song that they were singing was beautiful and was about son without a family.
He slept there and the priest recognize his music talent and took him to Julliard School of Music. There he learned more and more about music and he was an exceptional musician.
He compose a classic piece for his parent, because he believes that the song will help him, because his parents will hear the song. The teacher heard this song and invited to conduct it at a concert in Central Park.
Meanwhile, his mother was invited to perform at this concert and his father will be in the same city in a rock concert.
As the boy was performing, his mother was leaving the park, but she heard the song and she moved toward the stage.
At the same time, the father finished his concert and on the way to the airport, he saw a flyer about the concert of his love.
He immediately leaves the car and runs to Central Park to meet her. There he finds an enormous crowd of people, but he moved toward the stage.
In this part of the movie the music was so beautiful and involving that I started crying with emotion, because the boy felt the parents in the audience and when the father looked to his right he saw the woman that he was looking for for eleven years.
He stood beside her, touched her hand, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and looked again to the stage.
When the music was finished the boy turned around and saw his parents in front and gave a beautiful and emotional smile.
It took me nearly 10 minutes to stop crying.
