Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDustin Hoffman seriously studied the piano in his youth, but was not considered talented enough to make a career of it, just like his character Master Carvelle.
- GoofsMost of the music in this film is altered from its original versions, in some cases ending up dramatically different. Handel's Coronation Anthem, "Zadok the Priest", for example, is sung for about sixteen bars, when the audience suddenly applauds, some four or five minutes before the authentic piece would have been finished. Very few of these modifications were noted in the credits as "arranged by . . ." Speaking of poor Handel, his name is listed in the credits several times (the film score uses several of his works) as "Georges Friedrich Handel". Why would the French spelling of "George" be used? Handel was German, writing most of his music in England and Ireland. (Even the French-language Wikipedia page lists him as George, with the German alternative of Georg also noted.) And the reference to his "Alleluia" from Messiah borders on criminal. Everyone knows - or certainly should know in a production like this that strives to appear "classical" - that the piece was titled "Hallelujah" in every creditable published edition.

Featured review
I absolutely loved this movie. It's beautiful! I though about it the entire week after I saw it and I cried when I watched it. Its very beautiful and the music is incredible. A piece of me will will forever be changed because of this movie. I feel inspired and happy whenever i watch it. I strongly recommend that you watch this movie, you'll love it.
The story if about a young, rebellious boy with an amazing voice. The only thing he responds to is music. When his school headmistress shows him The Amarican Boychoir and lets him audition for them he bails but soon he's there again, now auditioning for their international school. During the movie you get to follow his life from the bottom to the absolute top. A wonderful story about a boy who has the talent to change his own life for good.
Truly, this movie is the best thing I have ever seen and the most beautiful movie i have witnessed.
