Medical Theme : Schizophrenia/ Rrehabilitation through music

Actors : Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., Catherine Keener

Storyline : What would you do if you came across a prodigious musician who is schizophrenic and homeless? The Soloist is a 2009 drama directed by Joe Wright. It is inspired by incidents in the life of Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who dropped out of Juilliard because of his bouts with schizophrenia. Foxx plays the tormented musician and Downey portrays Lopez a journalist who discovers Ayers and decides to write about him. Not content with just telling his story, Lopez goes the distance with Ayers. He persuades his friend Graham (Hollander) to help rehabilitate Ayers through music. He also brings Ayers' sister to meet him. Towards the end it is implied, that although it appears that Lopez is helping Ayers with his condition, it is Ayers who has changed Lopez's life. Ayers is not healed and still hears voices, but he is not homeless anymore thanks to his new friend.
