Movie Story
In "The Soloist," an emotionally soaring drama about the redemptive power of music, journalist Steve Lopez (Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Oscar winner Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A. As Lopez endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives.

posted by jewel57 on Apr 25, 2009Inventive combination of classical music and a strikingly real story and theme. Its good to hear music of value combined integrated with the gift of insight. Larger than life and simultaneously life like.
