Jamie Fox was really good. If I didn't know any better I would have thought he really was schitzophrenic. Robert Downey Jr. was also excellent. I really felt for him as he tried to help Nathaniel. He made the man real and normal, instead of a guy going after a crazy dream to help a homeless man with no sense of the world around him. The real Nathaniel and Steve Lopez seemed to be like their movie selves so the writers and director did a very good job.
This movie was awesome! If you want to see this whole movie for free in high quality Just google yslides and the site should come up first result. Yslides is where I watched it and didn't have any problems. I would just put the website address, but I don't want youtube to mark my account as spam. LOL
LOVE this movie. the story is so inspiring. reading the book now, and it's really great to learn more about Mr. Ayers and Mr. Lopez and their amazing friendship. i thank them for their inspiration and may God bless them always!!!
Get a good pillow, a lot of fluids, make sure you understand that you will waste two good hours.... for boring classical experience, which I'm sure not making any boxoffice or even direct to video.
Well, that's just fine if you don't like it. But just because you think it's boring doesn't mean I do. Go watch Awakenings, now THAT is another good drama.
It's about a doctor who gives this drug to comatose patients and they come out of their catatonic states. They teach you that life's worth living and then they go back into their catatonic states because the drug is causing them muscle tics.
Yeah, too much talking not enough shooting or stealing girlfriends. Whew, good thing I caught it in time, you almost wasted money, time, and almost got a heart. Have a nice day. :)
I'm really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrk
This is a really good movie, along with the actors and non-actors who were present. I highly recommend it. Just go and enjoy a quality, memorable script, nice music, and even some humor.
londonderry? o.O lol no xD america, my school just saw it before anyone in the country, i dont even know how thats possible but w/e, i live in Ohio, junior high and high school had to see it, well only the people that went to chicago last month, my school goes on random trips like hawaii and london, i personally dont really like my school though -.- but anyways it was a good movie :3
it was a joke on his radio show or something. he was just joking and went a little too far, like he said on an interveiw and apoligized. but her dad is still pissed
We all realize that Jaime is a comedian and comedians always cross the line. But if you listen to his show, he is very disrespectful to women period. I lost all respect for him and I am sure Hollywood did too. This movie could have been so much more, but Jaime opened his mouth and fucked it up for everyone in the movie. I'll bet they think twice before offering him another part.
who cares... jamie foxx is a comedian... he;s going to make fun of her. don't be mad. just because you don't want to see the movie doesn't mean other people don't... ur missing out.
on the premiere of the movie you can go watch hanna montana instead and buy hanna montana notebooks, pencils, dvds, and toy guitars, while the rest of us indulge in REAL acting.
When did he say that she should be raped? I thought he said that she should make a sex tape. If you think that "make a sex tape" is synonymous with "rape," then you are quite stupid. I do agree that his comments about Miley Cyrus were childish and unnecessary, but that has no relevance to this movie. I'll still be seeing The Soloist. I'm sorry, but it's just silly to boycott a film due to some unfortunate remarks made by an actor.
This is pretty sad to hear Jamie Fox making fun of a 16 year old Girl Miely Cyrus!!! PLEASE DO NOT SEE ANY OF HIS MOVIES!!!!!! I was a fan, but not anymore. Where is Rev. Sharpton? Where is Rev Jessie Jackson? What a double standard!
So she gets to be in the public eye and reap all the benefits, fame and money from doing so, but no one gets to criticize or mock her? Talk about double standards...
I just got home from seeing this movie. Some people loved it, some not so much from hearing comments walking out of the theater. I'd say it's worth seeing!
Bill Withers, Use Me (1972) Look him up on Wikipedia and here, he is somethin' ... Hope this helps! (He also sang "Ain't No Sunshine (When You're Gone))
Downey will FINALLY get the Oscar he deserves. He was phenominal in Chaplin and lost out in 93 and I think this time around it's his time. He is a brilliant actor and is making one hell of a comeback. Thank you so much for posting this. It's going to be a beautiful movie.
I AGREE! My wonderful husband got me the 15th anniversary edition for valentines day and it was BEAUTIFUL! He was brilliant in that movie! This time that oscar is HIS! My mom and I already have made our movie date to see it!
It was realised: the premiere was in november but the production decided to change the date for the springtime (another time excuse my poor english! :-((...)
Thanks for this video : I can't wait to see this movie,and I don't understand the reason why it has been excluded from the oscar competition (excuse my engish....)
I got a feeling this is going to be a good movie. Jamie Foxx is a great actor (ie Ray, The Kingdom) Robert Downey Jr has really made a comeback in the last year too. I hope this is as good as it looks!
Good news is I can have a good life, annoy you here, and sleep with your mother all at the same time! I'm flexible like that! Happy Holidays, say hi to mom.
LOL! I used to see the guy this story is based on downtown. Saw him while driving through the 3rd street tunnel and in the tunnel under MOCA (where the car chase from Terminator 1 was filmed). First time I saw him I thought 'WTF? This guy must be crazy to practice here!' haha.
The Best Actor Catergory for Academy Awards 2009 is going to sizzle; and there is no clear cut winner, like 2005 (Jamie Foxx "RAY"). Mickey Rouke "The Wrestler" looks great and Sean Penn will definately be nominated for "MILK" along with Jamie Foxx in "The Soloist." It will be intriguing.
If you can turn a whole string of people on a video against you then you are truly having fun, you have to let them rally around someone you have tormented, and when they band together then attack what they all support with complete insanity, the more outlandish and extreme the better. Attack taboo subjects, attack things everyone universally supports. Sit back and enjoy.
The more angry and personal the attack the more of a troll-bait they are. Anyone who responds and gets irate, thats your next meal. You read all their posts,find what their passion is, and attack it mercilessly and illogically. They get defensive and its game time. Keep it going as long as you can, get them crazy mad, and then move on. It proves amusing because you have no interest in the arguement subject, win or lose the debate you dont care,its about the banter.
Yeah. They start getting other people on their sides; which is more fun. Then start rating your comments with the thumbs. Haha! Can you guess what my passion is? :) And no, it's not Robert. It's pretty hard to get to me cause i seriously don't give a shit what people think about me... especially on here with all these cry babies. :)
I dont think anything about this movie, I was just trolling the masses because its so easy to find emotional fanatics who defend any subject. You tubers are the best troll food the internet god ever spawned, universally arrogant in their opinions, ignorant of anything that would undermine their ideas, and blind to anything like real truth. I could pick a child porn vid and get people to defend it whole heartedly on this site.This is Crazy-Land, and I am its mayor...
Hah Yeah its pretty funny messing with people on here. they start calling you a fucking fag or they tell you to go get a life. but its those people who need to get a life because, sadly, they are standing up to some celebrity that probably doesnt give a shit what some person says about them and surely wont change a bit about themselves. i love robert its just all these fans trying to make a point that makes no sense at all. its.. its.. sad and hilarious at the same time. hope you understand me.
And if that pisses you off,maybe write a few angry return comments making your point better.Maybe you can convince me to stop?You sound reasonable. Why shouldnt I jerk the chain of you-tubers who wax intellectual? Why should I stop?
Did I am Sam change the world?Did Forest Gump make you volunteer to help people?Have movies motivated people to charity or are they ways to cheat doing REAL good deeds and getting the same feel-good reward without the effort? Ok raise you hand if you HAVE helped the homeless lately,lets see,show of hands?Hello?Thought so.Racingheart209,dont waggle your finger in my face,it smells like elitist presumption.
I understand your train of thought and yes most people, after watching these kinds of movies, still do not decide to help anyone in need. And you should know that regardless of what kind of help you have provided, there is still a a self motivated yes-it-makes-me-feel-good-so-that's-why-i'm-doing-it kind of attitude towards the subject.
so, in order to reply to your 'elitist" presumption, i don't wave my nose in the air after helping someone. i help because i fucking want to.
And whom do you tell after you have helped?How do you use it when you speak of it?What are your rewards?For every one man who selflessly helps and speaks nothing of it there are 10 who do it to make themselves seem better in the eyes of whom they tell,to polish your own image,outwardly or just to yourself. It is not charity I oppose,it is the hypocrisy of charitable acts done for the ego and the soothing of ones own moral issues. True charity is unrecognized and never spoken of.
jesus...do you listen? i've said it but you don't understand. yes, there are people that help because they are selfish. i just didn't say it in such a direct way.
i do help people, be it homeless to unfortunate to the wealthy. i don't care, if they ask, ill do what i can within reach. but i don't sit there and spew about 'hey i helped this guy out' i dont care what people say about me. fuck what people have to say because most of them don't have anything good to say
Jesus does listen but I do not, this is you tube. Jesus doesnt look at you tube because you tube is the plaything of the devil, as is the internet...
jesus told me that YOU are charitable only to glorify yourself, you personally. Then he told me you are from California where he has been outlawed by liberal fools.
you know what? leave jesus out of here. the only thing jesus has to do with you and youtube and this preview video is that you're a complete dick. and fuck you i am from california. don't spew out all this religious horseshit that you call a reply, asshole. so in the words of my now deceased schizophrenic cousin, fuck you nigga.
California is the land of soulless parasites who have discarded god and embraced the socialist and immoral ways of the leftist elite. Your deceased cousin had an excuse to be a fucking idiot, whats yours? Jesus told me there was no place in heaven for Californians, that they should just enjoy that cool ocean air now while they can. This film will be Sominex in film form. Boring, just like you. Angels told me you have no soul, and I believe them.
you know what? arguing and trying rationalize with someone who is a self centered, oblivious and ignorant asshole such as yourself is no longer worth my time. you need to get off that shit, whatever you are smoking or sniffing or drinking, and realize you are going to hell. you talk tough online, but you ain't shit in person. internet wangsta with a napoleon complex. how cute.
For an obnoxious loud guy who supposedly likes talking shit you sure have a lot of pet peeves and rules,and a smart guy like you should know when a troll has him by the balls.I just trolled you for 5 comments.I dont care about this movie,charity,california,religion or anything we have discussed,I just picked someone who whined alot and gave them shit for a few days. You are the perfect troll food,son. Look at all the comments you wasted on me. That was fun thanks,got nutty at the end huh?
Dont forget I have wasted your time too,As long as there are people who passionately defend any position to the point of blathering on for 6 comments in a row there will be food for trolls.Feed a troll he stays around,dont feed him and he moves on.I am one of many,and we have you-tube boiling with angst, bitterness, criticism, and debates over nothing. We dont care who wins we just want it to go on. Its entertainment.
if you think this movie is going to be a waste and not change anything, then why are you watching the trailers? your just making everyone pissed. god damn. but you do raise a very good point about people not doing anything after seeing these kind of movies.
He does! He says this movie blows and only girls, music teachers and oppressed boyfriends will see this. I would rather see him in the wig saying 'I'll rock your world' again.
in any case, race and actor profiles aside, it looks like it's going to be a great movie. they also feature one of my favorite bach pieces, the cello solo prelude. =D it's all about the music for me.
No more Preachy movies telling us about the finer qualities of man,and how to find the inner value in others,and other useless shit like that. We all know every person is a potential Bach or Einstein. They are also a potential Manson, Gacy or Hitler. We get it. I dont want more movies trying to make me cry and then feel wonderful, hell with that.This is cookie cutter hollywood feel-good crap.Jamie wants to ham it up and get a statue.Want to feel good? Help a REAL homeless guy.
ha it's all true. but sad as it is, sometimes it takes a movie to move some people in order to do these kinds of things.
but, before you start spewing out shit like this and prophesizing your own personal views, make sure you have a better understanding of these matters yourself before you become a hypocrite and make sure you don't generalize to the people who have actually helped someone homeless or someone with schizophrenia.
want people to listen to you? think before you speak.
I agree with krashly. Our Pop Culture is rife with useless jive. Jamie Foxx is a very good actor. Robert Downey is a glib line deliverer. The last two are MY opinions, NOT krashly's. No director is wothy of lecturing me. NONE.
hey read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
So its going to be 2 hours of Jamie half closing one eyelid and shuffling about, making his 'I'll Rock Your World' face from In Living Color. No Oscar here, he just acting like hes a homeless crack addict,the guy on the Dave Chappelle show did it better. This looks like a go to sleep movie they will make kids watch in school because of its 'Message'. The message is people with talent die without using it every day,life is unfair.
Why cannot you see this piece as a tribute to a real human being, Nathaniel Ayers? At least he deserves to be treated with respect and if this movies fails to do it, than will be the time to criticize. Do you think that movies based on a true story are always about the actors?
I dont like human beings, they are inherently corrupt and their flaws outnumber their good qualities.They cannot be trusted,smell funny and generally screw you over. This particular one just played the cello too...
clap 3 times...s pin around and say the name of the person you want to be with? forever...post this on 7 pages and this saturday that person will suddely relize how much you mean to them... you dont do this... that person will think the oppiste and never want to see you again... it worked for mee! just tryy it
Jamie Fox is a phenomenal actor and great at portrayals. He can practically imitate anyone's voice. Don't sleep on Jamie! He can act(Ray Charles), he can sing, and he can act. He's well rounded and he has big FEET!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, but I wonder if the dude whose life is now being played out on the big screen, received any money? Or is this the familiar scenario of a Black dude's art being jacked by the White boyz and he gets nothing?!
I cannot wait, like most of you, to watch this movie. I'm also thrilled that Robert Downey Jr. is in it. I am in love with his work and talent. Ok... the looks have me too.. hehe
I might go to the movies to see the movie as well. But I just love the extra stuff like the makeing of the movie and behind the sceens of the movie that they put on dvd and bluray.
This was an Awesome and Touching movie..Superb acting... I trully loved this movie!

This was Robert Downey year Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, bad luck The Soloist don't get release this year.
This movie look pretty good, the trailer almost made me cry.
kisale24 3 years ago
I got a feeling this is going to be a good movie. Jamie Foxx is a great actor (ie Ray, The Kingdom) Robert Downey Jr has really made a comeback in the last year too. I hope this is as good as it looks!

LOL! I used to see the guy this story is based on downtown. Saw him while driving through the 3rd street tunnel and in the tunnel under MOCA (where the car chase from Terminator 1 was filmed). First time I saw him I thought 'WTF? This guy must be crazy to practice here!' haha.

The Best Actor Catergory for Academy Awards 2009 is going to sizzle; and there is no clear cut winner, like 2005 (Jamie Foxx "RAY"). Mickey Rouke "The Wrestler" looks great and Sean Penn will definately be nominated for "MILK" along with Jamie Foxx in "The Soloist." It will be intriguing.

If you can turn a whole string of people on a video against you then you are truly having fun, you have to let them rally around someone you have tormented, and when they band together then attack what they all support with complete insanity, the more outlandish and extreme the better. Attack taboo subjects, attack things everyone universally supports. Sit back and enjoy.
krashly71 3 years ago
Yeah. Well it's been fun talking to you, a true pleasure but I should leave this video in peace and find another one to torment. :)

The more angry and personal the attack the more of a troll-bait they are. Anyone who responds and gets irate, thats your next meal. You read all their posts,find what their passion is, and attack it mercilessly and illogically. They get defensive and its game time. Keep it going as long as you can, get them crazy mad, and then move on. It proves amusing because you have no interest in the arguement subject, win or lose the debate you dont care,its about the banter.
krashly71 3 years ago
Yeah. They start getting other people on their sides; which is more fun. Then start rating your comments with the thumbs. Haha! Can you guess what my passion is? :) And no, it's not Robert. It's pretty hard to get to me cause i seriously don't give a shit what people think about me... especially on here with all these cry babies. :)
smoochdogg 3 years ago
I dont think anything about this movie, I was just trolling the masses because its so easy to find emotional fanatics who defend any subject. You tubers are the best troll food the internet god ever spawned, universally arrogant in their opinions, ignorant of anything that would undermine their ideas, and blind to anything like real truth. I could pick a child porn vid and get people to defend it whole heartedly on this site.This is Crazy-Land, and I am its mayor...
krashly71 3 years ago
Hah Yeah its pretty funny messing with people on here. they start calling you a fucking fag or they tell you to go get a life. but its those people who need to get a life because, sadly, they are standing up to some celebrity that probably doesnt give a shit what some person says about them and surely wont change a bit about themselves. i love robert its just all these fans trying to make a point that makes no sense at all. its.. its.. sad and hilarious at the same time. hope you understand me.

Did I am Sam change the world?Did Forest Gump make you volunteer to help people?Have movies motivated people to charity or are they ways to cheat doing REAL good deeds and getting the same feel-good reward without the effort? Ok raise you hand if you HAVE helped the homeless lately,lets see,show of hands?Hello?Thought so.Racingheart209,dont waggle your finger in my face,it smells like elitist presumption.
krashly71 3 years ago
I understand your train of thought and yes most people, after watching these kinds of movies, still do not decide to help anyone in need. And you should know that regardless of what kind of help you have provided, there is still a a self motivated yes-it-makes-me-feel-good-so-that's-why-i'm-doing-it kind of attitude towards the subject.
so, in order to reply to your 'elitist" presumption, i don't wave my nose in the air after helping someone. i help because i fucking want to.
racingheart2o9 3 years ago
And whom do you tell after you have helped?How do you use it when you speak of it?What are your rewards?For every one man who selflessly helps and speaks nothing of it there are 10 who do it to make themselves seem better in the eyes of whom they tell,to polish your own image,outwardly or just to yourself. It is not charity I oppose,it is the hypocrisy of charitable acts done for the ego and the soothing of ones own moral issues. True charity is unrecognized and never spoken of.
krashly71 3 years ago
jesus...do you listen? i've said it but you don't understand. yes, there are people that help because they are selfish. i just didn't say it in such a direct way.
i do help people, be it homeless to unfortunate to the wealthy. i don't care, if they ask, ill do what i can within reach. but i don't sit there and spew about 'hey i helped this guy out' i dont care what people say about me. fuck what people have to say because most of them don't have anything good to say
im an asshole with a heart.

Jesus does listen but I do not, this is you tube. Jesus doesnt look at you tube because you tube is the plaything of the devil, as is the internet...
jesus told me that YOU are charitable only to glorify yourself, you personally. Then he told me you are from California where he has been outlawed by liberal fools.
Jesus also said the Soloist will be boring shit.
krashly71 3 years ago
you know what? leave jesus out of here. the only thing jesus has to do with you and youtube and this preview video is that you're a complete dick. and fuck you i am from california. don't spew out all this religious horseshit that you call a reply, asshole. so in the words of my now deceased schizophrenic cousin, fuck you nigga.
racingheart2o9 3 years ago
California is the land of soulless parasites who have discarded god and embraced the socialist and immoral ways of the leftist elite. Your deceased cousin had an excuse to be a fucking idiot, whats yours? Jesus told me there was no place in heaven for Californians, that they should just enjoy that cool ocean air now while they can. This film will be Sominex in film form. Boring, just like you. Angels told me you have no soul, and I believe them.
krashly71 3 years ago
you know what? arguing and trying rationalize with someone who is a self centered, oblivious and ignorant asshole such as yourself is no longer worth my time. you need to get off that shit, whatever you are smoking or sniffing or drinking, and realize you are going to hell. you talk tough online, but you ain't shit in person. internet wangsta with a napoleon complex. how cute.

For an obnoxious loud guy who supposedly likes talking shit you sure have a lot of pet peeves and rules,and a smart guy like you should know when a troll has him by the balls.I just trolled you for 5 comments.I dont care about this movie,charity,california,religion or anything we have discussed,I just picked someone who whined alot and gave them shit for a few days. You are the perfect troll food,son. Look at all the comments you wasted on me. That was fun thanks,got nutty at the end huh?

in any case, race and actor profiles aside, it looks like it's going to be a great movie. they also feature one of my favorite bach pieces, the cello solo prelude. =D it's all about the music for me.
racingheart2o9 3 years ago
No more Preachy movies telling us about the finer qualities of man,and how to find the inner value in others,and other useless shit like that. We all know every person is a potential Bach or Einstein. They are also a potential Manson, Gacy or Hitler. We get it. I dont want more movies trying to make me cry and then feel wonderful, hell with that.This is cookie cutter hollywood feel-good crap.Jamie wants to ham it up and get a statue.Want to feel good? Help a REAL homeless guy.
krashly71 3 years ago
ha it's all true. but sad as it is, sometimes it takes a movie to move some people in order to do these kinds of things.
but, before you start spewing out shit like this and prophesizing your own personal views, make sure you have a better understanding of these matters yourself before you become a hypocrite and make sure you don't generalize to the people who have actually helped someone homeless or someone with schizophrenia.
want people to listen to you? think before you speak.
racingheart2o9 3 years ago
I agree with krashly. Our Pop Culture is rife with useless jive. Jamie Foxx is a very good actor. Robert Downey is a glib line deliverer. The last two are MY opinions, NOT krashly's. No director is wothy of lecturing me. NONE.

So its going to be 2 hours of Jamie half closing one eyelid and shuffling about, making his 'I'll Rock Your World' face from In Living Color. No Oscar here, he just acting like hes a homeless crack addict,the guy on the Dave Chappelle show did it better. This looks like a go to sleep movie they will make kids watch in school because of its 'Message'. The message is people with talent die without using it every day,life is unfair.

Why cannot you see this piece as a tribute to a real human being, Nathaniel Ayers? At least he deserves to be treated with respect and if this movies fails to do it, than will be the time to criticize. Do you think that movies based on a true story are always about the actors?
