"The Karate Kid," "Rocky," "Rudy," and similar films provide the untimely story of overcoming fear and believing in your own capabilities that lead to success and inner happiness summarizes this screenplay. You'll have to be a fan of gymnastics to enjoy this interpretation of guts to glory.

The magic realism is there. Whether you believe it or not it is a convenient way to introduce the authors beliefs . I found the movie entertaining and worthwhile although certainly not original.

I have seen this movie number of times.... We all live in the world of dreams and sorrows...by forgetting the importance of present. This movie clearly explains that... How one will succeed and what one has to do to live really.The roles played and worked out fantastically on screen. I recommend for everyone to watch this once...Important lines need to remember in present A warrior acts, A fool reacts. Humans are the hardest to love and needed most Journey brings the happiness Not the destination Empty the trash.... Finally, Where are you... Here.... What time is it... Now..... What are you... This moment.... Enjoy the movie...

I adored this movie, Nick Nolte's character was so wise, honest and a beautiful teacher. His acting was really good. This story made me cry, prob because it was very close to home but regardless I was so impressed that the spiritual adversity and enlightenment process was not over-done or cheesy. I enjoyed watching Dan 'Millman' grow and come home to himself, how his ego diminished and his spirit began to live again. This film is a reminder of how 'the moment' is everything and only through courage of the heart and true surrender to our vulnerabilities make us 'Warriors' I also loved the end scene when his fellow gymnast asks Dan for advice, and Dan realises that this was a reflection of his former self, showing him how far he had come now. A beautiful moment that gives us the feeling that he's now become the teacher, the master of himself and now in the position to be of service. He believes in himself again. Very clever movie I'm sure I will recommend to loads of people, I'm surprised I'd never even heard of it before. Must be very underrated.
