Lost dreams, unlikely friendship and the redemptive power of music
Film "The Soloist" from 2009, production of US / French / UK, include the category of drama - in view of the dramatic story of the eponymous hero.
This film is based on the true life story of Nathaniel Ayers (born in 1951.), Extremely talented musician, who develop with schizophrenia and who, as a result of the disease stopped her, well-planned career. He played the bass. He was a student, "the Juilliard School in New York (one of the few blacks). During the third year of study, after a few bends nerve and the occurrence of symptoms, has undergone treatment at the plant closed. Used in those days, electroconvulsive therapy has not helped. After his mother's death in 2000., Ayers joined the crowd of homeless people living on the streets of Los Angeles. Sick and homeless, playing his beautiful melodies ...
directed the film "The Soloist" by Joe Wright. The role played by Nathaniel Jamie Foxx (known for its excellent role of Ray Charles) - you also played very well. The role of 'explorers' Nathaniel, Steve Lopez, Robert Downey Jr. play. If it depended on me, I would give him an Oscar for this role.
screenplay written Sussannah Grant. It was created based on the book Lopez "Soloist". But really, the same Steve Lopez's 'written' the movie. Just as it was - without any bogus additives.
Steve Lopez (born in 1953.) Is a journalist, having his column in The Los Angeles Times since 2001. His chance meeting with Ayers not only resulted in a series of inspirational articles, but the unusual friendship, which was positive echoes are still continuing. For me, significant in the film was a scene when Lopez loses sight of Ayers and thus deleted from the list of potential "subjects". Further the common fate of the two men clearly show how radically changing the ratio of Lopez to Ayers when it ceases to treat it as a theme, but as lost in this world, but also happy in his own world, extremely talented and sensitive man. Of course, no longer write about him, but what he writes gives rise to many positive reactions from different people (and institutions) who are in support of Lopez, a talented musician trying to constructively help. Moving is the moment when Lopez brings Nathanielowi donated cello.
Those of us who open themselves to helping others, often experienced that the benefits are often reciprocal. About their benefits, the benefits of this incredible friendship, Steve Lopez said this: ... a friend is someone who inspires, who Challenges, who Sends you in search of some sense of yourself Truer ... ( ... a friend is someone who inspires you, who puts these challenges, who pushes you to do that look for in a fuller understanding, know yourself ... ). Well give the last scenes of the film. Lopez, listening to a beautiful concert and sitting between his ex-wife and Ayers, meditates on it, and summarizes what has been given to him and learn to survive in this friendship with Nathaniel.
Amazing relationship between Ayers and Lopez was also shown to the whole nation, the program "60 Minutes" - Mr. . Lopez meets Mr. Ayers (22 March 2009).. CLICK
There are other positives, but a good book and a movie. Nathaniel comes out of homelessness. Game - concerts. (CLICK ). And his sister, Jennifer Ayers-Moore, established the foundation bearing his name (Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Foundation).
