"The Soloist": The Clothes of Music Biography, Real Humanistic Care

The way of expression is relatively special. There are often pictures that use images to express people's inner feelings, and there are often two main characters talking at the same time, but the paragraphs that are not yet understood can easily confuse the audience, so don't take what the two main actors said when watching a movie. What does each sentence mean, and looking at the narrative of this movie from a higher perspective will have a different view. "Solo" + "Jamie Foxx" + "Schizophrenia" is easily reminiscent of "Music Biopic" + "Soul Singer" + "Forrest Gump". But after watching the movie, you will realize that you are wrong. This film is dressed as a music biopic, talking about the universal humanistic care. Good movie, but not easy to be accepted by the public!

Steve Lopez: "Points West" by Steve Lopez. A year ago, I met a man who was down on his luck and thought I might be able to help him. I don't know that I have. Yes, my friend Mr. Ayers now sleeps inside. He has a key. He has a bed. But his mental state and his well-being, are as precarious now as they were the day we met. There are people who tell me I've helped him. Mental health experts who say that the simple act of being someone's friend can change his brain chemistry, improve his functioning in the world. I can't speak for Mr. Ayers in that regard. Maybe our friendship has helped him. But maybe not. I can, however, speak for myself. I can tell you that by witnessing Mr. Ayers's courage, his humility, his faith in the power of his art, I've learned the dignity of being loyal to something you believe in, of holding onto it. Above all else, of believing, without question, that it will carry you home.
