The Soloist Reviewed

Hubby and I went to the movies to see The Soloist last night. It was very good, slow in a few places, but worth seeing. The movie is based on a true story written by Steve Lopez, the same character in the movie that played a writer for the LA newspaper. The scenes of the homeless people congregated were very realistic, enough to make one wonder if the people were not actors, but homeless people playing themselves. It is an eye-opener to their plight. Early in the movie one lady doesn't want to take the new medicine because it quiets the voices that guide her in life, and that is not fair. She needs the voices. Perhaps when we become depressed, we would be better off if we had the voices to talk to us and guide us. Could they be better off than we thought?
