This month's inspirational movie, from the Spiritual Cinema Circle, comes King of California, a quirky, fascinating, and original movie starring actor Michael Douglas.
Douglas plays Charlie, whom we meet as he is released from a mental institution, although it's not quite clear whether he is "cured." Waiting for Charlie at home is his teenage daughter, Miranda, played by the gifted young actress, Evan Rachel Wood.
Any hopes Miranda has for a return to normalcy, however, are immediately dashed as Charlie enlists her in a hunt for Spanish treasure. The Don Quixote-like quest results in a dig beneath the local Costco. The loving, confrontational, and extremely complex father-daughter relationship between Charlie and Miranda is tested and strengthened throughout the film, culminating in a surprise ending.
