The complaint most commonly associated with this particular piece of art is that it is a fairy tale. Yes, of course, even the most ardent of the fans agree that some twists were twisted a bit too much beyond the capability of belief, but that's what a fairy tale is, if you please.
This much is true: August Rush will touch your soul in every possible heartfelt way.
It's all about hope and passion, and that undying hope and passion leading us to our destinations in life. After all, Hope was the only entity preserved in that idiot princess Pandora's box, wasn't it? And it's hope that keeps the world going on.

I know it is a movie not a book...

But if it was a book I would buy it being sure that music will come out of it...

This is the most wonderful movie I have ever watched!
