What is the cost of holding onto anger and resentment? That's exactly what this thought-provoking film is about.
A true story based on the life of Dr. Wayne Dyer, one of my favorite all-time authors/speakers/teachers. Starring in it is the one and only Patrick Fabian, who played the memorable Howard Hamlin on Better Call Saul.
Fabian stars as Dr. Ryan Kilgore. While from the outside, it would appear he's a successful family man with much to be thankful for, he's angry. His father abandoned him, his siblings and his mother at a very young age. This anger poisons every aspect of his life. That's all I'll give away. The rest is worth watching.
The small cast of characters is great. You'll see another member of the Gilliverse here, which I got a kick out of.
I loved this film. Fabian did a magnificent job in this role. He's an impressive actor who really seemed to embrace playing this character. I only wish it had more exposure since the message here is so powerful, especially in such turbulent times.
It makes you see how carrying a grudge will affect you, your loved ones, your career and everything else in your life. When you watch this film, especially if you're a Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fan, you'll perhaps see a parallel in what happens when people don't acknowledge, face and properly process their unresolved emotions. At least, that's how I see this.
Do yourself a favor and watch My Greatest Teacher. It's about an hour long (it's one of I think four stories in the Tales of Everyday Magic collection) and easily keeps your attention.
Plus, as I'd mentioned, I enjoyed seeing a couple of actors from the Breaking Bad Universe star in a film created by one of the most insightful and humorous Spiritual teachers of our time, Dr. Wayne Dyer. His works will always be timeless.
Highly recommended.
