Must See Movie...

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Outstanding! Yes, worth buying, worth watching, then share with friends. If you grew up with Sid and Nancy, Suburbia, and Decline of Western Civilization, check this film out. I've read Brad's books for years and watched a couple videos, but Hardcore Zen certainly did justice for my punk soul-brother. Punk and Zen may be hard for some people to understand, but that has been descriptive of my life journey as well. A punk finds the calm in the chaos and Zen goes beyond the chaos to another calm. If you want to learn about meditation from a man who is "real" and down to earth, Brad Warner is the man. I highly recommend the film and the book that it is named after. Brad, Pirooz, and all involved, great job! I also enjoyed the funny "answers" to critics in the fight scene and sex scene ;) Congratulations on a production well done! Enjoy the journey! PS - eventually will send a postcard. :) Jennifer "Hap" Werther
