Move over A Beautiful Mind there’s another grate film about a gifted person with schitzophrenia. This movie made me more aware of the fragile condition of the humand mind. How do the voices start and can they be silenced?

I’ve heard news stories about the sad state of the number of homeless people and even some stories of how they got there. This movie made me aware that they are people with feelings who can be ralated to.

Thank you Mr. Lopez for sharing your friendship with Mr. Ayers!
