The Peaceful Warrior is a Hidden Treasure

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2006)

I found the Peaceful Warrior to be a beautiful balance of life's humor and drama. Both Scott Mechlowicz & Nick Nolte deserve an Academy Award for their performances. If you want to inspire your children, educate your teens, or impart wisdom to the young adults in your life you must see this movie.
Even as a middle aged adult this production reawakened a desire to identify the important things in life. In the end, does our work inspire us enough to generate passion, creativity, and a sense of purpose. The movie reminded me of an old saying taught to me in college 20 years ago: "Life is a Journey, Not a Guided Tour"
But beyond the metaphysical depth of this move, you can enjoy it just for the entertainment value and the positive outlook on life you will leave the theater with. Take the time to see this hidden treasure.
