Artist movies

From time to time, a movie comes along that really speaks to what it takes to be an artist. One that came out recently, that I highly recommend, is August Rush. This movie embodies the passion that can be present within an artist and the need to express that "music" or "art" in whatever form it takes.

Another movie that is extremely powerful was released last year, so it is out on DVD--Copying Beethoven. Its theme is similar, but in this case, the lead character was a REAL person, whose music we still listen to and can experience any time we want on a recording!!
