Danny Goes To Hollywood? That's right, Dan Millman's classic
spiritual saga, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, is now a
major motion picture, starring Nick Nolte, Mark Mechlowicz, and Amy Smart. In our
exclusive WIE interview Carter Phipps speaks with
author Dan Millman about why bringing the remarkable story of
Socrates (part gas station attendant and part spiritual teacher)
and his brash young gymnast protégé to the silver
screen is so significant.
Millman hopes that the film will help fulfill the unspoken
yearning for transcendent wisdom that he believes exists just at
the edges of mainstream culture today. And indeed, Way of
the Peaceful Warrior powerfully conveys complex spiritual
themes such as the battle with ego, the nature of the
student-teacher relationship, and even the experience of
heightened states of consciousness—in a believable and
authentic manner.
Join Phipps and Millman as they discuss the movie that we
hope will be the first of many successful examples of
“personal growth cinema”—guaranteed to enrapture spiritual seekers and movie lovers alike.
