Dies und das:

James Morrison was offered the part of Louis Connelly and turned it down to concentrate on his music.

Pannen:

Faktische Fehler: 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. 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 afterward.

Dialogzitate:

Louis Connelly: Wait! Ten o'clock, meet me at the arch!
Marshall: [to Lyla, everyone egging her on] Go on then, say yes!
[Lyla smiles a little, and nods]

Father's Song

a triumph of love, spirit, and imagination thru the art of music!

I saw a sneak preview tonight, not knowing anything about this film. If you still have an inner child, and an imagination that has not been beaten out of you by the "practical and mature" world, then you will love this movie. I wish I had taken my daughter. The only people that I have seen complain about this movie are people that probably consider playing music "hard work and self-sacrifice". If you don't play the cello, you are not going to notice how bad she fakes it. During certain scenes, I found myself sitting way back in my recliner, with my eyes closed, soaking up the sounds that inspired this young man. Not since "Strictly Ballroom" have I been so moved by a film.
