HOPE for those who've embarked upon a difficult path

December 2, 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I love this movie. There's no sugar coating in this documentary. It's the tale of a young man with a conflicted mind that led him down a self-destructive path. Luckily, his family had a background in Buddhism that he called upon in his darkest hour. His journey is so uplifting. Believe me, what he did is not a miracle - it's hard work. Noah stopped just short of suicide to finally ask for help. And luckily for him, he knew where he could find it. Now he's there, as a beacon to others of his generation, to make sure THEY can find help too. I hope young people from all walks of life are exposed to this story, because this young man was able to stay true to his rebellious spirit, and the life he loved, while discovering a deep understanding of the human condition and the compassion in his soul. So, he's giving back. He went from bad news to good news. That's awesome. This movie is a great resource for mothers of troubled teens.

I work as a prison volunteer, facilitating groups practicing zen meditation. We showed this film at one of our weekly sessions. It is refreshing to be able to bring a positive, contemplative voice that knows firsthand about street life, drug use, crime and incarceration. Good stuff.

For the Punk at Heart

November 12, 2015

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

While the film is marketed to Punks, it really does agree with any free-thinker or rebellious person. Though not punk, I grew up being somewhat subversive due to my circumstances and environment. I have remained that way and struggled with religion for most of my life. This film, despite its age, is a timeless message that what we seek is within us. Always.

Two thumbs up, try to ignore the terrible animation

June 30, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I had always wondered what the Dharma Punx thing was about years ago. I enjoyed the info and interviews. The quality was not good and the horrible animation bits really cheapen it badly. Still, I the end it was great info.

Doesn't go deep enough

January 26, 2010

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

It is exciting to see a Buddhist documentary like "Meditate and Destroy" come along. Buddhism films are few and far between.
Noah Levine's book, "Dharma Punx" is a fine book. I wanted to know how Dharma Punx is introducing people to Buddhism. How is the movement spreading across the U.S.? What is it's impact? This documentary just scratches the surface.
The film is 70% autobiography of Levine. Only about 30% shows how he is helping people discover Buddhism, and creating a modern image of the dharma.
The film spends too much time on his past drug abuse, street running and lawlessness. It comes to a peak with a video-game style scene of him "hitting bottom" in a jail cell. It was over-the-top and by far the low-point of the movie.
On the positive side, seeeing people he has touched in his community was very cool. His message resonates with the 12-step (Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous) folks, and we clearly see that here. I liked watching him teach on a meditation pillow without much Buddhist "trappings".
I also liked when he interviewed tattoo-clad young people about how they came to follow Buddhism. Good stuff.
I want to see more about these 30-something authors and teachers (my age group) who are stripping away the safron-robe image to make Buddhism more relatable in the West.
Maybe in the next movie.
