So please, break the suspense. Is this kid actually playing this or what. I want to know for me. But I want to also prove my man wrong. He is under the delusion that a guitar can't be played like that, by a kid or otherwise. WHAT!?! I know he's tripping, but I need some back up to back me up. Can anyone help?
i know i have a talent for defining music hearing every note for each note as it is played but i dont know how to express it and ever since i watched august rush i knew i needed to do something but what
its weird how i dont know my real family and i tought my self piano and im teaching my self guitar..i started slaping the guitar just like he did but i did that befor i watched this so feel so prowd of my self... ^^
Thanks to this movie i found out about Andy Mckee because this movies music style is based on his playing. for example Drifting from Andy and the park scene from August
watching this movie over and over again, i come to think to myself why do i continue to look for someone to share my love for music with. when just like music....HE will IN TIME come to me!. --simply an inspiration!.
One of the main reasons I love this Movie: I believe that music in itself is not just about notes or melody. It's basically a lifeform in itself that can show or even empathize emotion (I believe that's phrased right. This movie doesn't show just music, I feel it shows the heart of Music. Being a music teacher, I've shown this movie to my students each year since I first saw it. Just amazing
I guess you have the wrong idea about music too and by the way you don't need to play an instrument to love music.I myself play the guitar from 7 years now and I enjoyed the movie to the fullest so please keep the hateful comments to yourself (and also the kid was awesome i just love how his face is showing how much he loves music and how much he loves the sound that his hands are creating,even though it's not actually the kid creating the sound)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Crap movie, The kid could not act, never once in the entire movie did i feel sorry for him.
Ye people leave their guitar lying around in a chordal tuning all the time. So some dumbass kid can bash it an play it just as well as Michael Hedges in one sitting.
It was unrealistic and it gave people the wrong idea about music. IT's like the writer didn't even play an instrument
What happened to Leon?? The black kid singing & playing his guitar. He would appear right after August was listening to all the sounds in the street, right?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i love the movie, i just always thought they could've done it better Jonathan Rhys Meyers specially, his acting was really bad, i have no idea what happened to him in this movie.
not him singing, he was great there, but check out the acting part, i know everyone loves him, i do too, but i can be objective and see that he looked like he was reading his lines...
the movie is great, but it isnt filmed the best... when it shows the pan shots of august and he slaps the harmonics on the guitar, it isnt in the real song. oh well. the last song is Ritual Dance by michael hedges
The feeling of when i touch my fingers to a piano or any other instrument is estatic...sometimes a i get a feeling in my chest or heart thats like a shock...and i feel like someone is taking over me, and making me play this music....great movie too.
Hey, umm you know the part where there are all the babies in the hospital and the music box thing is playing? well, does anyone know where i can find the sheet music for the song the music box is playing on the piano? please let me know asap if you do!
yeah, actually. i did... but idk. the place where we usually go for movies dont have it, cuz now its full of NEW movies... recent ones. idk where the old ones are.
I try to explain it, but the closest I get is that I want to crawl inside of the music and at the same time feel it flowing through my chest and out to every limb..
I don't know if that's kinda what other people feel, but that's kinda how I feel.
i completley understand as well its hard to explain that feeling bhut you have thtis passion for it i mean its my life at the moment i lovev music i just need to be more brave to sing it in public
This moviie is soo Positive, Makes you have hope in anything..makes u want to LOVE anything, the way he loves music..awsome flick..Need more moviies like this.!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
my friend just said world of warcraft is better somein reply to me and tell him that he is a dumb shit like seriousely WORLD OF WARCRAFT i mean its a cwl game and all but guitar players like this man this kid is gona be in more movies and i swear to god he is gona make billions but just reply if u think my friends is stupid because he thinks wow is better
The fast part in park is another song of Michael's - RITUAL DANCE - if you enjoying music in this film, U really WILL be enjoying music of MICHAEL HEDGES and ANDREW GORNY...
Hey! some parts in this film are MICHAEL HEDGES performanses! especially that scene in Park, the song is AERIAL BOUNDARIES - it's awailable on youtube in two beautiful forms - original, by Michael and great cover by ANDREW GORNY. Wow, I never realized, that is possible to hear this way of music in film...
yeah bc its the song he's been hearing since he was little, and he just never knew how to get it out! and finally in the end, when he finally does, his parents hear it, and realize that he's their child
ya ofcourse it is without this classicle orchestra music our movies would be dull and classicle music very rich type of music to its nice :D man i hope i didnt sound dumb XD
I just realized that the part where he's outside and everything is portrayed as music....the actual music in the background is the same piece as the very end. Wow, I can't believe I didn't realize that!!
i agree it is def not over-done ppl jus never actually care enough to stop and just listen to the music its all around us even as i am typing write now i can hear the rhythm u jus hav 2 listen its there just listen
you know how there's that lullaby playing when Evan's in the hospital? :D I love how it seems to be incorporated in nearly every song or really just a lot of parts in the movie... I wonder what that lullaby/song was >.> I wanna know now lol.
