![August Rush [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51jk2snsLWL._AC_SR160,160_.jpg)
I gave this movie 5 stars because it deserves it. Before my review of the movie, however, I must caution potential buyers of this DVD version. The description Amazon gives for this DVD lists various Special Features such as director commentary and cast/crew interviews and a "Making Of..." featurette. The DVD I received did NOT have any of these features and simply contained the movie itself.
On the movie itself. I remember seeing this movie at a very opportune time in my life. It was summer of 1990 and I was months away from entering an all-boys high school. Nothing like this in which you have dorm rooms and such but still all-boy, Catholic with a dress code of casual suit attire. I remember not believing the absurd conformity rules the school in this movie (Welton) expected its students to adhere to.
Of course I was rudely awakened my first half year of school. Thankfully this movie allowed me to keep my sanity in such an environment. The acting in this movie is so free and natural you forget you are watching a movie and think more of just watching normal kids going through their high-school years. Schools need more teachers like Mr. Keating no matter how infuriating they may be to the "main stream" faculty.
Watch this movie to set your heart and mind free of society's norms and let yourself imagine the eternal question, "What if?"
