This is the second movie I know of about a African-America homeless paranoid schizophrenic who once attended Julliard and is a masterful musician.

This trailer gives no real reason to see the movie. With all of the sweeping music and pushy emotionalism the story itself seems rather hollow. A rich white guy stops his self important life long enough to give aid to a troubled black man. The film meets all of the usual racial elements Hollywood is comfortable with (geez I wonder if white guy will bring troubled black man to meet the rest of this rich white guy friends and, gosh I wonder how things will turn out?).

There wasn't a screenplay for this movie, it was a recipe.
