Reflection on "The Soloist"

Jonathan Dodson writes a good post reflecting on his recent viewing of the new movie, The Soloist. He writes:

Watching The Soloist made me proud to be human, to possess the capacity to create music, to capture stirring stories with words, to experience the brokenness of our own lives and the lives of others with imperfect compassion. The Soloist is a movie based on a true encounter between L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez and Nathaniel Ayers. Mr. Ayers is a former Julliard student turned homeless at the hands of mental illness. After meeting Mr. Ayers, Lopez befriends him, leading to a journey of personal discovery and change as he learns to see something of the beauty that Ayers sees, when hearing Beethoven.

You can watch the trailer for this movie here. I'm sure I'll be taking this one in. I am a huge fan of Jamie Foxx's work.
