In the movie “The Great Warrior” the character Socrates guide to life was to let go of attachments both mental and physical. He worked at a gas station but he saw it as a service to others; not a meaningless job. He said that to “lose your mind” took years to accomplish and in doing so he gained wisdom. His philosophy on life was there was “never nothing going on nor was there ever an ordinary moment in life. He believed that everyone was the same it was the choices in life they make that make them different. The movie reminded me of the “Karate Kid”.
It was a very spiritual type movie. The main character is so into himself that he doesnt care much for anything else. He seems to want to find himself and seeks the guidance from a man he calls Socrates. Its a pretty good movie and makes you think about alot of stuff. Watching Juno now. GTG.
Socrates' guide to life was to live in the moment always. It seems simple enough but to let go of your past, good and bad, is an extremely diffucult thing to do. Socrates believed that holding on to all of your predetermined beliefs would cloud your judgement and keep you from really living. Throughout the film Socrates had quite a few different philisophical views. There was one that really stuck out to me. "It's the journey, not the destination". I can think of two perfect examples in which this holds true for me, high school and my service in the military. Both events I started with the same exact attitude, I can't wait till this is over. But when the time passed and I moved on I caught myself looking back wishing it were still there. Of course accomplishing goals and reaching your "destinations" is always going to be very satisfying. But I've learned that you should really sit back and enjoy whatever it is you're doing because chances are, you're going to miss it later on in life.
Socrates guide to life is something I feel we can all relate to. I have three that I like: "Death isn't sad. the sasd thing is:most people don't live at all." Second would be "A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does." and third would be "I call myself a Peaceful Warrior because the battles we fight are on the inside." Now I know we can all relate to the last one, especially when we are faced with important desicions or just a choose we have to make. In the end we have to find it within ourselves to make the best choose possible and move forward, and that's what the characters in this movie choose to do. I enjoyed it.
In the movie the peaceful warrior Dan Millman, played by Scott Melchowiz, is a very egotistical college student trying to pursue his clam to fame in the Olympics. One night when Dan was unable to sleep he went to a run ending up at a gas station where he meets Socrates. Throughout the movie Socrates trains Dan to live in the moment and clear his mind of the garbage. Dan is reliant to listen until he gets into a serious motorcycle accident. Dan now understands that he is not in control of his future so he surrenders to Socrates’ ways and learns to live in the moment and that life is about the journey not the destination.
Socrates philosopy on life was to think out side the box. He got Dan to open up his eyes to life. The student walked around with a chip on his shoulders. Yeah he was a great athelete who had all the girls and all the attention, but yet was really miserable inside. Socrates got him to pay close attention to his surroundings and gave him a whole new aspect on life and living. His philosopy taught him that anything is possible and that there was a lot more to life than what he had previously thought. Once he was able to let go of the crap in his mind he was able to focus on bettering himself.
I thought was a very inspiring movie that was dealing with life in a good spiritual way. Dan was a cocky student that only cared about himself and carried his life recklessly. Socrates was trying to give his advice on the way life should be looked and lived. At first Dan just thought Socrates was a crazy old man, but there was a big tragedy in Dan’s life were he became more interested in Socrates’ epiphanies on life, the human mind, and the human body. Like Socrates said, “You have to think outside the box.” Dan was very closed minded at first but eventually started to open his eyes and started to share some of the same beliefs that Socrates. I thought the movie had a great ending and I would highly recommend to all.
In The Peaceful Warrior, the character Socrates in an interesting, unique individual. He believe a life of humility and fighting the wars inside is the greatest challenge. He shares this with a cocky college athlete who has a difficult time wrapping his brain around the concept. Through the movie, Socrates shares pieces of wisdom with the man. The athlete does not accept his wisdom until he has a potentially career ending injury. Socrates helps him heal his mind and body through proper outlook on life. This teaches the gymnast to look within himself to find answers to problems around him

Socrates guide to life in the movie The Peaceful Warrior was to “take out the trash”, both mentally and physically. He worked at a rinky dink gas station, but he considered himself serving others. I saw what he was getting at that there is “never nothing going on”, just take a minute to look at the people around you and listen. According to Socrates his protégé was so consumed with his goal of winning the gold metal that he was missing everything in the moment, the “now”. I agree on some of his philosophies but not all. I think that this film was a good way to show that you should forget about the past and not indulge too far into the future, but live for the now.
Socrates philosophy on life was basically to think outside the box, a methodology that I live by myself. With Socrates help, Dan was able to finally look at his life and see it for what it really was. Since Dan was such a great athlete, he seemed to walk around with this air about him, or a chip on his shoulder. On the outside, he seemed great, but finally realized that he was miserable over how his life turned out. Socrates got him to pay close attention to his surroundings and gave him a whole new aspect on life and living. Socrates taught him that anything was possible, and there is more to life than he had seen. Being able to now let go, he was able to begin rebuilding his life.
The character in the movie"The Great Warrior" that they called socrates had a profound guide to life in my opinion. I beleived his philosophy on life was to never hold on to negative things in your life because they just bring you down he wanted people to see that we are all the same and it is only the choices we make in life that seperate us.
Socrates guide to life, as depicted in the movie The Peaceful Warrior was that one must live entirely in the present moment. I absolutely agree with this philosophy and try to live my life that way. Having seen people in my family struck down early in life I have learned to live for the moment and not to think too far ahead. . I used to make vacation plans over a year in advance and just look forward to that. I now realize I was waiting for 52+ weeks to go by so I can enjoy 1 week of fun. Life is too short to worry about the future. With my kids I live for the moment, there time as little ones goes by way too fast and you need to enjoy each and everyday. From my own experience I cannot believe my oldest child is already 7, seems like yesterday we were taking him home from the hospital. Of course there are some things that you need to plan for but you can’t let it consume your life. Life for the moment, make the most of what you currently have because you are not guaranteed your future.
I absolutley agree with his philosophical views in this inspiring movie. I was enraptured by his depicating of life in this film. Socrates was what I call "Wisdom in the Flesh". The lessons he taught to his mentoree I've taken into consideration. Although it was a movie, it has the capacity to change anybody's life who critically watch this movie. Socrates encoureaged me to live in the moment instead of focusing on everything ahead or behind that event. Socrates represents a man who learned from every obstacle that ever came his way and eventually developed a way to overcome them. His teachings are so powerful because he speaks from experience. After critically watching this movie, I stand in awe as I listen to Socrates while watching this movie over and over again. I agree with everything he said regarding life. Socrates found a great pleasure in serving others. He didn't feel as if he'd received the short-end stick he had found his purpose and was at peace with it.
Socrates guide to life in the movie The Peaceful Warrior was to “take out the trash”, both mentally and physically. He believes that a life of humility and fighting the wars inside is the greatest challenge. “Knowledge is not the same as wisdom, wisdom is doing it,” is the underlying truth that I received. “You can live a whole lifetime without ever being awake,” being in the moment realizing that there is “never nothing going on”, or just taking a moment to smell the roses. “Are you happy?” The transformation occurs when you can die to your ego. Only by dying to oneself can one truly live a sacred spiritual existence. “You’ll never be better and you’ll never be less than.” Realistic and responsible for your actions Transformation Death Puberty Most people don’t live at all. Absolute vulnerability = absolute courage Warrior acts = fool reacts No starting, only doing Even when you get exactly what you want you still suffer 3 rules: paradox, humor, change The journey not the destination is what brings us happiness
This is the stream of conscious notes I took. But I really want my post to simply say:
"Socrates" guide to life as depicted in the movie, The Peaceful Warrior, that one must live entirely in the present moment. Giving Dan Millman, a university student as well as locally famouse gymnast who dreams of winning a National Championship Competition, a series of tasks and lessons. Socrates believed that at no time is "nothing going on" and the idea that at no time is "nothing going on" and the idea that an appropriate time exist for fighting and another for abstaining from viloence. I do agree with his philosophical views like "This moment: The past and the future do not matter; all that matter is now, this moment, "The Peaceful Warrior." His philosophical, I will agree with because it makes what I believe make sense. Also, it's not the destination that brings happiness, but the journey. Anger, hatred, and violence are only products of fear. I will definitely aree with that view it is self explaining.

Realistic and responsible for your actions
Transformation
Death
Puberty
Most people don’t live at all.
Absolute vulnerability = absolute courage
Warrior acts = fool reacts
No starting, only doing
Even when you get exactly what you want you still suffer
3 rules: paradox, humor, change
The journey not the destination is what brings us happiness
