I hate spoilers, so don’t worry — there aren’t any spoilers here. Read without reservation! Not in order of importance. Bruce Almighty. Bruce Almighty is a fun yet inspiring film with a meaningful message. It’s about a TV reporter (Jim Carrey) who constantly has bad things happening to him. He complains that God is doing a terrible job — at which point God appears to him and offers him all his powers to see if he can do a better job.
Along the way, he learns lessons that change his life. On the whole I think the film can place greater focus on the life lessons — the humor tends to take over the film sometimes, possibly to cater to the mainstream audience.
Great weekend film to watch with friends. Buy Bruce Almighty on Amazon]2. The Peaceful Warrior. A friend read my blog when I started it back in 2. I had to watch the Peaceful Warrior. He said that many of the things I talk about on PE are similar to the film’s messages. So he shared with me his copy of the movie and I watched it.
Directed by Don Thacker. With Jeffrey Combs, Adrian DiGiovanni, Danielle Doetsch, Pete Giovagnoli. Ian Folivor, a depressed and reclusive 30-something, finds himself.
Based on Way of The Peaceful Warrior (book), the film features Dan, a student from U. C. Berkeley who has everything a college student could possibly want — looks, fame, great friends, attention from every girl, and talent in his gymnastics, his passion. Yet he’s unhappy, deeply troubled, and has trouble sleeping at night. One night, he meets a guide and his journey of self- discovery begins. I like the Peaceful Warrior and there are many meaningful messages scattered throughout the show. In fact, I’ve included several dialogue in the movie in my inspiring quotes series.
Some of my favorites are: “There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments.”“The ones who are hardest to love are usually the ones who need it the most.”“Death isn’t sad. The sad thing is: most people don’t live at all.”“A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability. He’s about absolute vulnerability. That is the only true courage.”While I agree with the overall message of the movie and I feel that there were some great moments (like the rooftop scene), I found the movie quite slow paced and predictable. When I was watching, there were many times when “Socrates” (the guide) said something or revealed a lesson I already knew and already guessed he was going to say (in the same exact words too).
I think a large part is because I already came to these conclusions myself before, so I’m just not the right target audience for the movie. That said, there’s definitely some good stuff in this movie, especially as evidenced by the rave reviews by others. If you’re feeling jaded, losing their passion, or looking for a deeper meaning in life, this movie is a great starting point. Buy Peaceful Warrior on Amazon]3. The Family Man. The Family Man is a comedy drama about a highly successful, single investment banker (Nicholas Cage) who gets to experience how his life would have been if he made a different decision 1. It’s a movie that presents a ‘what if I had done this instead?’ scenario and contrasts a life with great wealth and success vs. It’s a great movie that gets you thinking about life, though I’m not in exact agreement with the implicit message that life has to be either/or — in this case, either wealth or family, not both.
It encourages people to justify not pursuing career/wealth goals because they have a family, or that they shouldn’t pursue love/ have a family because they’re busy with work. Both are achievable — it’s a matter of expanding our capacity, prioritizing, and planning. What I do like is the film gets you thinking about what you’re currently doing in life.
If you continue what you’re doing today, where is it going to lead you? Would you have a lifetime of achievements and wealth, but no real friends or loved ones to speak of?
Would you have lived a life conforming to norms while never taking action on your goals? A life living for others but not for yourself? Would you be someone bitter at life and at the end of it yourself? And would this be a life you want? If not, what are you going to do to change this outcome?

Click is about a man (Adam Sandler) who receives a magical remote controller that allows him to rewind, stop, and fast forward through time. He uses it to skip past moments that he finds mundane/boring like family dinner, shower, and sickness. Initially this seems fun, but after a while he realizes that it comes with unexpected consequences — which you have to watch to find out.
Forget the trailer/marketing which comes across as your typical Hollywood slapstick comedy. This really isn’t. At first it may seem like that, but halfway through you realize that there’s something deeper that the film is driving. It gets you thinking about life’s moments and how each moment is no less important than another. IMO, it drives home the message that “every moment is a moment to be lived” more strongly than Peaceful Warrior. I really, really love this film and highly recommend this to everyone.
