The Soloist

The Soloist is the kind of movie I want to watch more of.

Yesterday I watched a movie with the same actor: Robert Downey Jr. called Iron Man 2, and although Mr Downey was excellent in the role I found the plot and action to be so outside of the reality I want to build for myself that after the titles rolled I decided to be careful of the influences and ideas that I feed into this mind.

By contrast - The Soloist embodies values that I hold in esteem such as friendship and persistence and love and caring. I need so much more practice with these values. I would much rather be influenced by movies such as The Soloist than by the rock and roll violence of movies such as Iron Man 2.
