Soul Stirring Journey -Music that remains the only connection between the estranged individuals.
14 July 2008
A Rush of musical emotional orchestra. Simply a marvelous dose of love conquered with Music. The music had me in tears. The Characters had me in Tears. I never imagined music to be so soul stirring. The magical exuberance transcending through the silver screen makes you feel an experience of a life time.

The plot is an excuse to the musical journey. Evan Taylor(Freddie Highmore, living in an orphanage lives through music. He believes it'll help him find his parents. He has a ear for music, sound is all music to his hears.

Escaping into the city, He falls in the hand of Maxwell"Wizard" Wallace(Robbin Williams) the savior of many such musical prodigies. The listener does not confine to loving listening to music, he simply knows how to play the instruments. He eventually develops into a MOZART which doesn't please Maxwell. Keri Russell as Lyla another brilliant character.

The background score is marvelous. It should be as it forms the cornerstone of the whole movie. The melody , the orchestra the... Oh I wish I knew enough music to describe the taste of sound.

Where Music leads the protagonist is the story. Music that remains the only connection between the estranged individuals.
