Watch Peaceful Warrior For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Pretty Good

Excellent but underrated film

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

IF I GET LOST IN DESERT AND NEVER TO RETURN BACK AND I HAVE OPTION TO TAKE 1 MOVIES WITH ME, THEN THIS WILL BE IT.This movie is just awesome. it teaches very essence of living which happens in the present moment. We always go on thinking something overtime and thus miss the present moment. This movies presents us with number of lessons such as:1. All you have is right now 2.There is no starting or ending, only doing 3.Destination is not important, journey is. 4.The people that are hardest to love are the ones that need it the most.So i would say that this is only movie of the kind i have seen ever in my life and i am not hoping to see any other again of this kind. TRULY INSPIRATIONAL AND REMARKABLE MOVIEetc etc

Every time I had fallen short of my expectations watching the screen versions of the books. A director's vision had failed to convey to the audience a transforming inner experience. I was sorrowfully disappointed with direction of J.Ostin's "Pride and Prejudice",2005, C.Bronte's "Jane Air",2011 ,F.S. Fizgerald's "The Great Gatsby",2013 and lots of others."The way of the peaceful warrior" screened on the ground of D.Millman's book is a pleasant exception from this list. It is one of the most inspiring masterpieces of modern movie-industry. I can confidently assert that this is the rare case when a film widely reflects a book.Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a true story, based on the Dan Millman's autobiographical book. The book shares Dan's journey through university as a world-champion gymnast who has a passion to succeed and make it to the Olympics. On the surface, Dan has it all – he's good looking, popular, gets great grades, has women chasing him, his dad has plenty of money, great physical shape… yet, there's something missing. It isn't until one night Dan wakes up in the middle of the night and decides to take a walk to a nearby gas station that he encounters an old man that he calls Socrates, who begins mentoring him and exposes how deeply unhappy Dan is. The story essentially chronicles Dan's story through life to evolve himself into a Peaceful Warrior, with all the powerful lessons that he's learning from Socrates.The movie is dripped with the inspiring scenes and deep quotations that everyone can relate to in some way. The biggest thing that hooked me was "Life brought rewards, but no lasting peace or satisfaction." Dan, like many of us, have been conditioned to believe that "When I achieve X-Y-Z, then I will be happy." And while most of us intellectually know that's not true, we still pursue goals believing it will give us that fulfillment. The lesson here is simple: nothing in your outer world will ever make you happy or fulfilled. Happiness can only come from the inside. When you truly come to this realization and stop deluding yourself, you can gain that sense of peace and satisfaction within.I highly recommend to watch this movie.Everybody will find and learn a suitable lesson and reconsider some views on life.

The opening scene of Peaceful Warrior hooked me into watching all of it. I had been dubious because of Nick Nolte and the whole spiritual angle -wondering how that was going to play out, but ultimately this was uplifting and inspiring and Nolte was very good as the grumpy, gravelly voiced sensei master.This is the kind of movie that you'd have to watch several times to catch all the quotable/livable meanings.Its along the lines of 'The Karate Kid' (but based on a well received book) following Dan Millman as a gifted gymnast bound for Olympic gold. Initially he has it all; trophies, girls, fast motorcycles, and wild parties but all that changes the night he meets a mysterious stranger in a gas station (Nolte) who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. Dan is sceptical at first but comes to understand that he has a lot to learn about... life.This wasn't a perfect movie but it was sorta powerful. The gymnastic scenes were well done including a freaky dream sequence. A couple of familiar faces from TV in the cast; Paul Wesley from Vampire Diaries and Tim DeKay from White Collar. Now I gotta read go the book. 01/13

I would like to say that the concept of the "warrior" in our lives, is the way we live each day, it's up to us to know how lucky we are by being healthy, by having people around us that loves us, by living the present each day "knowing" that today could be our last day. This movie reminds us of what really matters in this life, what we're supposed to be "doing" or "enjoying" or "living" in this world instead of filling our minds and hearts with what doesn't matter. My wife and I enjoyed it and we learned from it, made us remember to take care of ourselves each day, to help each other and to help other people as well. It's not a perfect movie, the direction is not that good or artistic, sometimes you could see that the actor is not the same one when doing gymnastics (body and arms), but, it's definitely worth the time based on the message.At the end what you feel, think or believe a movie has left on you, is what matters, this movie will definitely do that.
