August Rush is a 2007 American musical drama. 11 year old Evan (played by Freddie Highmore) is a 10-year-old musical prodigy living in an orphanage who runs away to New York City. He begins to unravel the mystery of how he came to be an orphan as he searches for his birth parents. Evan changes his name to August Rush at the encouragement of a character named Wizard (played by Robin Williams) who takes young Evan under his wing to exploit his musical gifts.
The story is brilliantly woven together as a symphony of the awakening journey and the sounds and rhythms Evan hears in daily life. Themes include experiencing a deep, heart calling and opening ourselves up to listening, learning and following Divine guidance, Divine frequency, which is always all around us, within us, singing us home, supporting us to remember what is real; encountering self-doubts (ego’s vicious voice) in the form of other characters, recognizing these “other” characters are merely symbols of our original projection of a world that seems to be unfriendly/the absence of love…and how we begin to say “no” to the ego voice in our mind and believe in our Divine worthiness; noticing the difference between Divine and ego frequencies; and how the Tao, Life, the Holy Spirit in us, and in seeming others, is helping us and working things out.
August Rush can be watched with a subscription on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, YouTube, Fandango at Home, & Google Play Movies. It can also be seen for free with ads on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYR3rDqsnQM
