The Soloist



Jason and I saw The Soloist on Sunday. It was a really good movie; we both really enjoyed it. As the movie starts, you think it will be a 'feel good movie' about helping a homeless man get on his feet and realize his talents... but as the movie progresses you realize it is so much more. I personally tend to think I am to 'help' others in a variety of different ways, but in all actuality, we are called most often to just 'love' others. This movie is filled with compassion and friendship. Something the world could use a little more of.

I will not go into any more detail as to not spoil it for you. I will say that I was not left with a 'feel good feeling' at the end, but rather something much more deep and meaningful... hope. Not hope for a change in circumstances, but rather a change in love and relationships.
