    The Soloist

    Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx


    Directed by Joe Wright

    By Xoxi Munoz
    October 17, 2014

    Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Handel, Debussy and
    Chopin. We are given a sliver of what these great composers fabricated
    in the musical biography The Soloist. This motion picture propagates
    divinity and grace through its music. As the movie illustrated the tense
    realities and perspective of the homeless and schizophrenic through the
    music flowed within creating our stomachs to rise within us.
    The Soloist is based upon The Soloist: A lost dream, an unlikely
    friendship and the redemptive power of music by Steve Lopez the book
    describes the relationship between Lopez, a Los Angeles Times
    columnist, and Nathaniel Ayers. Their relationship is a complicated one.
    Filled with fear, praise and love. Lopez received many great reviews
    from his first novel. "An intimate portrait of mental illness, of atrocious
    social neglect, and the struggle to resurrect a fallen prodigy." ... Google
    Books.
    At first Nathaniel is a mystery. Steve Lopez discovers him while
    Nathaniel is playing the violin immaculately with only two strings. It
    becomes Steves mission to write in his column about him and expose
    his talent. Stereotypes are broken through this movie. Not all of the
    homeless are runways or drunks. Nathaniel was a musical prodigy who
    went to the top musical school in the world, Juilliard. What caused him
    to become homeless was his mental illness of schizophrenia. During his
    third year at Juilliard it became too difficult for him to function and he
    had a psychotic break. Schizophrenia affects 1.1% of the United States
    population above the age of 18.
    Nathaniel seemed to be a different kind of homeless man. He held
    no cardboard sign pleading for food or pennies. He simply played his
    violin with his heart and soul and was covered head to toe in clothing
    filled with the great composers and musicians of all time.
    The Soloist is a movie that will keep you on your toes waiting for
    the next unexpectable scene. Steve Lopezs amazing work has inspired
    us all through Nathaniel's heart breaking story. Nathaniel is simply a
    lover with a gift of melody. May the inspiration and vibes from the old
    greats of music and new fill you while you watch this gracious film.
