Factual error: When August sits down at the piano in the church and begins to play, he plays a passage of ascending notes (his hand is actually on camera so you see it move to the right, up the piano). However, the audio that you actually hear is a passage of descending notes.
August Rush (2007)
Directed by: Kirsten Sheridan
Starring: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell
Deliberate mistake: When Evan/August first meets Arthur at the park, after playing, you see Arthur leaving his spot without taking the cable and (presumably) the amp as well.
Audio problem: When Evan plays the guitar the first time, you can hear some chords and notes that aren't actually being played at all.
Wizard: Can't you see it? Wizard productions presents the number one heat wave: august rush.
August Rush: Yeah! Me! That's me.
Wizard: You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.
Louis Connelly: I can't do it. I'm sorry Frank, I can't do it.
Marshall: No, Louis wait.
Louis Connelly: No! Let me go.
Marshall: Louis.
Marshall: Just let me go man! will you just LET ME GO.
Question: What was the significance of showing us Lyla dropping her necklace outside the hotel? Louis didn't pick it up did he?
Question: Did August's dad know he had a son? And did August figure out who his parents were at the end and did he see them at the concert?
Answer: The answers, in order, are: "No", not initially but "yes" later; "Yes" and "yes." Their plan to meet the next day didn't work out, so August's parents ended up having a "one-night stand." When August's father - as well as his mother -heard the music that August was conducting, they were drawn to it like magnets. With his back turned against the spectators, August got the feeling that his parents were there. When he turned around to look, he saw his mother and father. The mother and father instantly knew that August was their son and August knew they were his parents.

Answer: I think it was a necklace she was given by her father, and it breaking shows that she is breaking away from him. Her father picks it up, not Louis.
If her father picks it up, how is Wizard wearing it later in film?
