  • This was an Awesome and Touching movie..Superb acting... I trully loved this movie!

  • rdj needs to win an oscar

  • 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.

  • aint that funny that the black man is the OSCAR WINNER. good for Jamie Foxx cuz he deserved that Oscar for Ray

  • Did he say "workaholic" ? haha cool

  • 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!!!

  • Check out my Channel

  • i liked it, i thought is wass interesting.

  • 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.

  • Oh, I just realized; you wouldn't like it.

    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. :)

  • 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.

  • say white bitch isnt racist its just saying thetype of bicth she is you could call someone a black bitch then is that racist

  • 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

  • Tuxiedo

    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.

  • unfortunately, you didn't.

  • i just saw this movie today, lol my school saw it before it came out, my friend Mikayla was crying but i think it was a pretty good movie^^

  • do you happen to be from londonderry?

  • 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.

  • thank u! ;)

  • filmed at my school! long beach jordaaannn

  • 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...

  • Confused it what YOU ARE! If you were a True Fan, you would know he's been doing stuff(Jokes) like this for years. Duh!

  • It takes place in beautiful downtown los angeles, possibly the best place on earth. Check it out

  • looks kinda dumb...

  • i'm friggin' seeing this!!

  • 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!

  • I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, especially since it's based on a true story. Viewing this video and others, it's award worthy.

  • Agreed. Heard about this on NPR when they interviewed Steve Lopez. Looking forward to it also.

  • yea...me too!

    sounds like a great plot..i hope they do it justice

  • I feel like I've seen this before?

  • kayser, listen to the lyrics...note them down, search them on google

  • does anyone knows whats the song at 0:26??

  • 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))

  • thanks! hes amazing

  • this is a true story right? looks pretty sweet.

    can't wait to check this out in theaters and on VUDU.

  • 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.

  • AMEN! He was robbed in Chaplin. I'm so excited he found strength beyond his addictions and has come into the career we knew he was capable of!

  • 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!

  • robert downey jr rocks my socks.

    premiere day is on april 24, 2009 and i 'm watching the it ! yey me !

  • 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'm sure it will get a nomination for the next Oscars. But a movie can't be nominated until after it has been released.

  • because it has to be released first to be nominated, so hopfully it will next year, and I wish RDJ will get an oscar this time.

  • why this film doesn`t have oscar nomination?

    (sorry for my poor english)

  • Jaimee Foxx can act. That dude is just talented. What an actor. Much respect to him.

  • can't wait for this movie to come out!!!

  • i love joe wright...fav director. this movie will be awesome!!!

  • Does anyone know the violin solo at 1:21 i must have that piece.

  • bach's cello suite no. 1 in G major

  • the first movement out of 6: Prelude

  • Hopefully Foxx doesn't go full retard.

  • like ''tugg speedman on simple jack''....lol

  • I don't get it...

  • Then you didn't see Tropic Thunder.

  • It's from Tropic Thunder

  • lol!

    ma...ma...ma mabye he will.

  • i met steve lopez, hes such a cool guy

  • Does anyone know the violin solo at 1:21 i must have that piece.

  • a guy named weveck stughovic hes a russian prformer probably the best

  • do u know the name of the song

  • i was just fuckiing around due sorry

  • ooh..........lol

  • yeah dude id felt bad after i lied to you so i tried looking for it but didnt find it so yeah

  • good lookin though

  • looks like a movie that i would like ill see it

  • 2 great actors, FOXX and DOWNEY JR., in what looks like a good movie. I'll See it.

  • I want to see that movie!

  • I want to watch this NOW!!!!

  • Robert Downey is the best, this movie got oscar buzz but is not going to be release this year.

    The official release date now stands at April 24, 2009

  • I know, I wanted it to be in November, I can't wait four months!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I play the violin,also it looks like a good movie.

  • Ugh, the music just makes

    your heart melt.

    It's wonderful.

  • hey wasnt this sopposed to come out like in december or something like that ? i thought it was for sure this year

  • yeah it hink so as well, but it got pushed back to April 2009 unfortunatly.

  • They better treat that Amazing novel justice in this movie.

  • You should probably update the description, release date is now March 13th 2009. I'm really looking forward to this.

  • THey changed it????..oh man and i thought my theatre (where i work) just decided not to get it!!...But now i can't wait!

  • i have a really good feelling that this movie is going to really good and might even win a award

  • it'll win every award!

  • 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.

  • hey great video , you know

    when is in the cinema??

    please tellme

    well

    great video

    kisses bye bye

  • March 13 2009 Wide :)

  • 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.

  • 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. :)

    -rose

  • Yeah, you could do that.

    Or you could get a life.

    ...or a girlfriend or something.

  • 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.

  • cool movie. totally watching it

  • 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?

  • this is a film about real people and it's inspirational, perhaps, not to do with inspiring its audience to do good in some way - it is entertainment.

  • Hope this is great movie. You can see this film at AFI Fest on Thursday, October 30, 7:00 pm, Arclight Cinerama Dome.

    I'm gonna go either!

  • 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

    im an asshole with a heart.

  • 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?

  • wow good job, wasting his time AND your time. very productive. everyone should become atheists, we will get along better.

  • 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.

  • you havent really wasted my time, i am doing nothing on the weekends. so whatever. white power, bitches :)

  • 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.

    good luck changing people's perpectives!

  • haha!!!!! so true. that guy is fucked up!

  • Wow, jesus says a lot, rofl.

  • 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.

  • If hollywood doesnt have to why should I?

  • 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.

  • This movie reminds me a little bit of August Rush, with the whole music thing, and it was a good movie.

    But I love Robert and any movie he's in, so I really can't wait to see this :D

  • 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.

  • haha i bet you think your cynical attitude is a reall eye opener but it's really not. Get over yourself you pretentious pseudo intellectual fuck.

  • 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...

    Thats a big SO WHAT for me..

  • 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!!

  • Sean Penn got his Oscar ... now it's Robert Downey Jr's turn to receive one. He's brilliant.

  • Get over it ......

  • i can't wait to see this masterpiece, Robert Downey Jr. n1 actor of this times. just brilliant.

  • 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'd watch it. But in all reality check out the man on my page . .

    he's really homeless!

  • OMG!!! Jamie Foxx is an absolutely ugly but talented man.

  • somehow....idk how...but im anticipating this as much as The Dark Knight...i never thought a movie about classical music would strike me so hard.

    its easily the best trailer that came out this year. not as intense as TDK trailer, but obviously more touching.

  • I agree, the music and the trailer are so beautiful together, i can't wait for this

  • GREAT,CASTING! I cannot wait..to see this film!

  • I will see this movie

  • I'll be one of the first in line to see this when it comes out!

  • This is going to be good.
