It also screened, per invitation by David Copperfield's Project Magic, at the Las Vegas MGM Grand.
#Peaceful warrior soundtrack series
In nonfiction, Todd's international feature documentary MAGIC(S) produced shortly after writing the SPIDER-MAN series for Sony Pictures TV (starring Neil Patrick Harris and Lisa Loeb), toured the world taking victories at a variety of festivals from New York to Los Angeles. Both continue to enjoy very fruitful festival runs. In 2018, TZEVA ADOM, a film in which Todd produced, was a finalist in the "Emerging Filmmaker Program" at the Cannes Film Festival's American Pavilion while concurrently, RESERVATIONS, a film he directed/produced - that stars Dale Raoul (HBO's True Blood) - opened in the UK. There is, thus, only minor relief to be experienced by programming Millman out of the CD player, although that can be accomplished by playing only the even-numbered tracks.Todd Felderstein is a director/producer/writer with an assortment of credits that span the media landscape from screen to stage. Certainly, Gray doesn't sound much like a "peaceful warrior" in the downcast "Long Gone Now." Others, such as Kelly Sweet and Michelle Featherstone, settle for being Sarah McLachlan wannabes. The songs often reinforce the spoken musings, as when Bird York, in "Had a Dream," sings, "Where logic ends, faith begins." Elsewhere, the performers seem to be illustrating the emotional and spiritual torment Millman's thoughts are meant to alleviate. Some may find Millman's pronouncements revelatory many others are liable to yawn. The problem comes when this sort of thing is passed off as "wisdom" even though it barely constitutes common sense. Any set of positive aphorisms, whether taken from an ages-old religious document or last week's bestseller, may be useful to any given individual, as long as it doesn't lead to fanaticism and suicide bombing. These "affirmations" are said to be nuggets of "Eastern wisdom" Millman himself calls them "fierce wisdom." Less sympathetic listeners might prefer the description "simple-minded claptrap." But then, that's the conundrum of the self-help movement. None of Bennett Salvay's score is included, but the disc does contain 14 "uplifting songs," as the press release puts it, among them a new track by David Gray and Yes singer Jon Anderson's "Under the Sun." In between each of the songs is a brief spoken word excerpt from the book read by Millman.
This album is not so much a soundtrack to the film Peaceful Warrior, based on Dan Millman's book Way of the Peaceful Warrior, as it is an audio companion.
