The story, based on a book by Dan Millman, follows a college gymnast who has great potential but whose desire for success is one of the main obstacles standing in the way of that potential. You see the transcendence and the realizations in the faces of the characters, and you are not left to wonder why. Although some fundamental spiritual ideas are described with words, it is the plot and character development that proves the truth of those words.

The reason this movie succeeds is that it follows one of the most basic rules for good story-telling: it shows rather than tells. Never in my life have I felt that way about a movie before.

At least I hope so! I actually woke up early the morning after seeing this, with my mind full of things I might say in an exhaustive review. By impressing the discovery of bona fide spiritual truths on a recognizable sports template, the movie makers will be carrying under-appreciated ideas and experiences to the masses. They got it right this time, and they did it in a way which could be embraced by crowds at the multiplexes. I was looking forward to the film, but with some trepidation, considering that prior attempts at communicating spiritually oriented books or ideas had fallen short of my expectations and had fundamentally failed to convey to the audience a transforming inner experience witness What the Bleep, Siddhartha, Little Buddha, and others. I was invited to a screening of The Peaceful Warrior in NYC Thursday April 13th, having just learned of this film's existence a few days earlier.
