Go on a journey that will transform - not only your view on life - but the view of WHO YOU Truly ARE!Look closer, look within!

Extremely amazing film it introduces the real power of spiritual life for a human body when it comes to progressing from broke to success. When our brain is filled with rubbish then we have a lot of work to do to depollute it from bad ideas & evolve to wisdom, dan has neglected the spiritual life until he meets his master who teaches him how to succeed in life no matter what the situation is & progress to the point that a human body can do miracles like when his master was sitting in front of shop & instantly jump to the roof, this event has changed the dan's life which lead him to learn from his master gradually until he becames a great gymnastic champion. His master was an old man but his capabilities are unlimited, he has a spiritual power, he developed this power by doing a lot of meditation when he is working on a given job. Dan millman loses hope after an accident but after meeting the good mentor he evolves to the good life.

Dan Millman (Scott Mechlowicz) is an University gymnast haunted by fears and close to qualifying for the Olympics. He's reckless hard-partying young man. After a nightmare, he goes running and encounters gas station attendant Socrates (Nick Nolte) who may have supernatural powers. Socrates asks him "Are you happy?" He also meets Joy (Amy Smart) at the station. Dan accepts Socrates' offer to train him as a real warrior.Nick Nolte as a spiritual guide is mind-bender. Scott Mechlowicz is OK as a brash young man but Paul Wesley could be better. He doesn't have the likability when he acts like a douche. There is a lot of zen spiritual self-help Miyagi stuff being spewed but it overwhelms the movie at times. I don't particularly like the lead character and I don't particularly get the message from this message movie. It exists and yet it doesn't.

I would like to say that the concept of the "warrior" in our lives, is the way we live each day, it's up to us to know how lucky we are by being healthy, by having people around us that loves us, by living the present each day "knowing" that today could be our last day. This movie reminds us of what really matters in this life, what we're supposed to be "doing" or "enjoying" or "living" in this world instead of filling our minds and hearts with what doesn't matter. My wife and I enjoyed it and we learned from it, made us remember to take care of ourselves each day, to help each other and to help other people as well. It's not a perfect movie, the direction is not that good or artistic, sometimes you could see that the actor is not the same one when doing gymnastics (body and arms), but, it's definitely worth the time based on the message.At the end what you feel, think or believe a movie has left on you, is what matters, this movie will definitely do that.
