Corrected entry: When Evan is playing the guitar for first time in front of Wizard and the others, Wizard is wearing a white shirt, but when Evan and Wizard are talking looking at the stars, Wizard's clothes are different.

Correction: Well considering that the sun is shining behind August while he's playing, it's early morning. They just skip some time, which is common to do in movies. Wizard gave August clothes to change into.

Corrected entry: Because of his despair for losing Lila, Louis does not play his guitar for eleven years. When he decides to start playing again, he takes out his guitar and plucks every string. His guitar is perfectly tuned, and this makes no sense. As I am a guitar player myself, I know that if you go so long as a month without touching your instrument, it will go severely out of tune. And he didn't tune it off camera before he did this, as we see him open the dusty case for the first time in a decade and play the strings immediately afterwards.

Correction: When he first plucks the strings they sound awful.

Corrected entry: The fliers that show Evan Taylor as a missing child state that he disappeared February 9, 2006. However, since he was born on December 17, 1995 and had lived in the orphanage for at least 11 years and 16 days before running away he couldn't have left before 2007.

Correction: The first flashback said it was eleven years earlier. That was when his parents first got together and conceived him, and since it takes about 9 months to have a baby, he was not yet 11, but only 10, so it is possible.

Corrected entry: It seems to be early spring in Washington Square and high summer in Central Park throughout this movie! There are virtually no leaves on the trees, forsythia are blossoming in one scene and it is even snowing at one point. However, every time you see Central Park, whether it is during a "fly over" scene or during the concert at the end of the film, it is high summer with all of the trees fully in leaf, audience members viewing the outdoor concert in shirt sleeves, and soloist, Keri Russell, wearing a bareback, halter-top gown.

Correction: The movie takes place over several month's time. At the beginning of the movie it is winter and at the end it is summertime.

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.

More quotes from August Rush

Question: What was the significance of showing us Lyla dropping her necklace outside the hotel? Louis didn't pick it up did he?

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?
