George Hammond (Richard Gere) gives a very poignant sight of being homeless and having mental illness. George bounces from a vacant apartment, hospital, churches, a second hand clothing store, and then into the Bellview homeless shelter where he befriends a talkative and helpful friend Dixon.
The picture touched on how the homeless are often invisible to society. It spoke volumes about the daily challenges faced by the homeless who are so dependent on the charity of others. I also liked the way George’s struggle to reconnect with his estranged daughter was shown.
