  • I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!!!!!@!!!!!!!

  • i love this movie an this scene too!!! this scene makes me wana sing gospel hehe :P

  • i love that girl.

  • just pointing this out but why couldn't there be a kid that is a savant at all things music and just for no reason can understand and feel it immediately. Humans are some amazing creatures that technically have an unlimited potential compared to our current knowledge of our brains or how they work.

  • Holy... REVEREND JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • My dance class is doing our final dance to a Combo to the song from this movie , we're joining up with two other classes ,out part starts near the middle.

  • "Well I have one of those, and he's living under my bed!!!!!"

    EPIC line....from an epic movie

  • lol:

    ....0_0...

    REVREND JAY!!!!!!!! D>

  • I cry when I hear stuff like this, I believe there are people like this, who are just so passionate about music.. That they hear it everywhere. It gives me shivers.

  • I have a little 3-year-old daughter who lives for music; she hears it in everything around her just like Evan. She even hums the sounds of vocal inflections in sentences that she hears that she likes. I'm thinking of getting her a tiny violin to play soon so that she can start to produce the music that is inside of her. This movie has really inspired me.

  • I wish I had someone that in tuned with me to jam with

  • Movie Fail @ 2:26 - 2:30. The notes were descending. Hey played the notes going ascending.

  • Magical, beautiful movie.

  • 4:13 to 5:17 is magic 

  • 6:50

    love it <'3

  • when he was in the park and the dad greeted him(first offscreen then shown) I wanted them sooooo much for them to know they were related! It was awesome! I love this movie!

  • "you know how we studied mozart and he was a musical prod"

    "prodigey"

  • last song is my fave i wish me ans my son can do the same

  • @xxsomesadkidxx dont wish man nyone can do anything just takes time! you will achieve set a goal and put your mind 2it

  • REVEREND J!!!

  • Everytime I'm kind of streesed, I always think of that last song that he plays with his father on the guitar, because, for some strange reason (maybe it's because of my love for music), it always gets my spirits up; I guess that's the power of music working on me, lol

  • maravilloso !!!!! great from Argentina !!

  • this sound is beautiful. the harmonies a few voices can create is just mind blowing.

  • i <3 the movie soooo much and the singers are sop good!

  • i dont see why people bash this film either, its a beautiful, modern fairy-tale! It has amazing music, what's so bad about that? It IS possible for someone to create music like that! ive seen it happen :)

  • @ starjaia....

  • ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨ PLEASE WATCH¨°º¤ø„¸ SPLIT BRAIN BOXER „ø¤º°¨ ¸„ø¤º° ``°º¤ø„¸ ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°ºAND RATE IT >GOD bless

  • i hate how some people bash that movie as unrealistic and unreal and say again and again that it is sooo awful that the moves are not getting along with the sounds.well, as long as a movie doesnt claim to be something else than it acctually is, its fine. and this movie doesnt claim to be realistic. its a modern fairytale. call it knickknack, its a beautiful movie made for the heart, not for the head. reality is all logical, realistic and grey, so why cant movies have at least something fabulous?

  • @bloekdasschaf EXACTLY THANK YOU!!!!!

  • @bloekdasschaf Amen to that

  • @bloekdasschaf beautifully said.

  • love the curch s

  • do you have the part where he learns the notes for the first time from the girl?

  • 3:38 what she screaming at? was it at the note sheets in the room? someone please tell me

  • she was screaming for the revrend to tell him about evan the prodigy or i think that's his name

  • It's brilliant- at 2.26 you see him hitting the notes with his right hand, going upwards, yet the notes are getting lower:)

    Awesome movie with awesome music by the way

  • lol, smooth

  • this is in my opinion the best movie ever. it's my most favorite movie

  • You have to love this movie.. it gots so much soul in it

  • i lov the part when he goes in the church

  • plus they dont look that much alike

  • or even know that he HAD a child.

  • freddie looks hot at 1:50

  • what a beast. wow

  • guitar duet kicks ASS

  • That song at the beginning in the church is killer...it would make a good hook in a rap or r&b song.

  • es mi pelicula favorita es la mejor pelicula que he visto me gusta mucho jamas me aburrire de ver esta pelicula esta super pero super kool

  • 4:04 ..."well I have one of those - and he's living under my bed!"

  • this has been bothering me for a while but what is that song that evan's father is playing at 6:52. I think it is an Irish song but I cannot think of the name or lyrics

  • That little girl can sing...

  • dang jamia gurl u killed u have a amazing voice

  • hey yo peeps does anyone know were i can get this song or can somebody send it to me

  • hey yo peeps?

    ....really?

  • by the way, if i really concentrate i can write songs the way he does! maybe sounds impossbile to you guys, but i can do that too, listening to bird singing, plains flying above, other things outside.. but its not that easy as it looks in the movie, lol xd

  • Yes and so can I!

    See how easy it is to say whatever you can on the internet?

    Instead of telling the internet you can, stop browsing on here, and get in the groove and right some songs.

  • I believe it, I don't write muzik..... I'm not talented in that area, but random things can do that with my stories I write

  • Is anyone else bothered by 2:25 when he ascends on the piano but the notes heard descend?

  • omg yeh!!. i never noticed that before

  • That's the only part that obviously goes wrong~What a pity~

  • yep, i left some comments on how stupid that is too but nobody likes to hear an educated opinion/observation apparently.

  • that was a beautiful father son moment even though they didn't know it! :)

  • this kid has real talents.....you got to believe it

  • He's an actor, who learned how to play basic chords to make it believable over the movie. Sorry.. but not that sorry...

  • i've never seen a boy playing guitar like this...

    i want to be like him...

  • Is the guitar tuned to an open chord or not and if so to what is it and HOW?

  • Fun movie. Even though there's no way a kid would pick something up that fast, it's still fun to watch.

  • dude there is a possibility that he could be a musical prodogy or something

  • yea but hes just an actor in the movie

  • yea but u get wat i mean..

  • yea i suppose

  • IT A MOVIE 8-) stupid ...

  • Great movie and video

  • watch the "Sungha Jung" 's video.

    this kid is a korean and got a very talented on guitar!

    wish you can watch it =)

  • I've seen him many times actually. However, he has pro teachers teaching him how to play that well. Sometime tells me that child breaths as much as adults MAKE him play. Granted, he is very very good, and he should continue to play like that. However, from the movie's point of view, August Rush knew how to write, and play music WITHOUT help. I'm sorry, but that doesn't happen to a child that young unless he has had help, sorry to break the hearts of die heart August Rush fans.

  • It is possible,

    look at Amadeus Mozart

    he learned it himself.

  • Right, had nothing to do with growing up in a musical family, with a distinguished composer as a father and piano teacher.

  • i know what you mean with that, but it is possible to teach yourself, even though you are a child.

    i mean, i started teaching myself (without help from other people/books) how to play piano. now i can play the hardest songs on piano with some practising.

    thats what im planning to do with guitar too! i hope i can be as good as August..

    i know i cant be the way he is in this movie, no one can. but i believe i can get far with this as my inspiration

  • ur comment had me for a while. but when u said "no one can" is when you lost me. NEVER say you cant do something. if you wanted to be as good as august, then you can be as good as august. anyone can as long as you try

  • Comment removed

  • I totally agree:)

  • It's true, some people play by ear, where as others need to read it off paper. But I'm just saying it wouldn't happen the way the movie makes it look is all lol.

  • yeah thats what i meant. sometimes i play by ear too, and you could get far with that. but in the movie he just hears what the notes are, and he can write whole songs immediatly! thats not possible in real life. still love the movie tho :D

  • one of the best movies I've ever seen. It takes a bit from Forrest Gump and a bit from Oliver Twist. If you have watched these two wonderful movies, u'll know what I mean

  • the child is jamia simone nash

  • i love this part when he goes 2 the church and see's the singin!!!!!

    =D espacially the little girl !!!!

    =D

  • who's the actress that plays the little girl?

  • I want to hear the instrumental music that he was playing in julliards when the crazy man i forget the name interrupt him

  • i think it was kinda sad that he didn't know he was playing his dad's guitar and talking to him

  • best scence girls name is jamia

  • Who is the singer at the piano????

  • whats the 1sr song called ?

  • See the video description (more info) on top right of page...

  • raise it up ;)

  • i wish they showed the part where he gets into julliard

  • The score to the scene is called Basketball to Organ Loft, available on the Mark Mancina website (not on soundtrack CD).

  • I wish some more scores were on the soundtrack.

  • To the powers to be. How about asking Sir Elton to do to this movie what he did with Billy Elliot and give us another great musical?

  • Its a very good movie.....wounder why they don`t put it out...i have been looking for this movie for a while now....

  • It is available on Region 1 DVD (US/Canada DVD players or worldwide PC DVD players). If you can't find it locally in Canada, try online. Amazon sells it for $12.99.

  • Wow that was Fast.....thanks butt znyways its such a sweet movie should put it out in theatres

  • August Rush appeared in theatres when it was new, but now is just DVD. In addition to purchase, it is widely available for rent in the US/Canada - including Netflix and Blockbuster.

  • it was in theaters... where are u from?

  • best part is 7:26 till the end :D

  • Jamia Simone Nash (see video description.)

  • U R My #1 fan I love your singing and U r my idol I cant beleive that your 12 years old Some say your 12 but I say your 13 because u just had your birthday

  • Jamia Simone Nash was born August 21, 1996.  I doubt that she will read your message on this channel, however.

  • love u so much? R u 13 or 12 years old

  • when august is playing the church organ, i kept rewinding and rewinding. it's sooo beautiful.

    the organ is my favorite instrument.

  • agree that black singers are better than white singers. their are jusssssst GREAT. im not saying white singers r suck, they r good too, just in a different kind of way. but yea i love black people, even im white. hehe.

  • man black people have a powerful voice

    i love how it sounds

    i love it when they sing gospel

  • omg i loved the part where he was composing the songs. so coooool

  • "I have a musical prodigy living under my bed!" Best line in the movie.

  • I LOVE when he's playing guitar with his dad and neither of them know it's the other one. So cute!

  • i'm so jealous. am i the only person who thinks black people sing better than white people?...makes you wonder why they rap

  • I'm white and I'm grown up enough to know that they seem to be born with a cooler music gene. There are good white singers but white people just can't sound like that. :)

  • por mi ya tiene el Oscar...

  • i luv the last scene where he is playing with his dad!! such a great movie :)

  • These are my favorite scenes. I love the first one.. and then when he is playing guitar with his dad.. and neither of 'em really knew. haha.
