The Peaceful Warrior

The Peaceful Warrior DVD will be released June 26th. The film is an inspiring drama directed by Victor Salva, starring Nick Nolte and Amy Smart.

The Peaceful Warrior DVD is based on Dan Millman's best-selling autobiographical book, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and is a moving story about the power of the human spirit.

In the Peaceful Warrior DVD, Dan Millman (Scott Melchowiz) is a talented, yet arrogant college gymnast who seems to have it all. He gets good grades, has disposable relationships and is trying out for the Olympics. But he still wakes up in cold sweats at night. His (Scott Melchowiz) world is turned upside down after he meets a mysterious stranger he refers to as Socrates (Nick Nolte). Socrates (Nick Nolte) seems to hold the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding and becomes Dan's (Scott Melchowiz) mentor who guides him through various avenues of his life.

Dan (Scott Melchowiz) suffers from a serious injury, and with the help of Socrates (Nick Nolte) and a mysterious young woman (Amy Smart), he grows to realize that strength of spirit is what leads a man to his true greatness. He (Scott Melchowiz) learns that he has to let go of the person he thought he was and start living in the moment by appreciating the journey and accepting his lack of control over the future.

What an excellent movie!!!!!! I wasn't too impressed with it to start, because it was a slow starting movie and confusing too. But as you watch it the movie starts piecing itself together and draws you in. This was the first time I've heard of the story and books, but I think I am going to get Dan's first book to start with and go from there! If you would like to find out more about him I added his link to this blog, and as always if you click on the picture above it will take you to the movie site. Enjoy the movie as I did and let us all work towards being our own.... Peaceful Warrior
