之前在電影院看到預告的時候,就挺想看的
隨後而不了了之,索性等到DVD發行時,再買來看
其實如果不講究螢幕的大小
兩個人其實都可以買DVD,相當符合經濟效益成本
我個人是挺喜歡類似這種的勵志題材
每次看完都會覺得人生又有希望,然後再隨即被現實給磨耗
不過這種東西,每個人喜不喜歡,卻又是見仁見智
畢竟要看其內容貼不貼近自己或Touch到自己的心
在生命的逆境中遇見蘇格拉底
我稱自己為和平戰士,因為我們要打的使就在心中,當下這一刻才最重要
或許我們常活著,都是為了追逐某些東西
追求追求完美的愛情,更好的生活,甚至名與利
但真的得到時,真的能由衷地覺得快樂嗎?
姑且不論電影的說教意味濃厚
甚至到底有沒有Socrates這個人的存在
這部電影之中,要我們就是要把握當下,珍惜每一個過程
尤其是最後,Socrates帶Dan去爬山
其實終點根本沒有什麼特別的
甚至Socrates自己本身都不知道終點有什麼
重要的是在這趟旅程中,他們很開心地享受這趟旅程
每個時刻都是不平凡的時刻
或許看似平凡,或許習以為常
但誰也不知道這樣的狀況會到何時
所以要且行且珍惜,不要等到失去過才難過或後悔
這是很多電影,或故事帶給我們的提醒
但又有幾個人會認真履行呢?
分享一下劇中的佳句
相信你的生命,一切都有一個目的。
重要的是,愛心、關懷,要在稍縱即逝的每一刻,清醒享受生命的禮物。
(說"目的"實在是有點勢利,倒不如說都有一個"意義")
Socrates的語錄
你要先淨化你的身體,把你腦中多餘的垃圾丟掉,敞開心胸的接納你心中真正的聲音和感覺
Knowledge is not the same as wisdom.
知識與智慧是兩碼子事
Wisdom is doing it.
智慧就是親身實踐
People are afraid of what's inside,
大家都怕聽到自己的心聲
and that's the only place they're ever gonna find what they need.
其實只有內省才能找到平靜
Why can't you sleep?

Is it because, maybe, late at night, when all the nosie dies down

你躺在床上...
and there's nobody around but you, then, maybe, you get a little scared?
身邊沒有任何人,你卻感到有點害怕?

People are not their thoughts.

The mind is just a reflex organ.
大腦只是反射器官
It reacts to everything.

None of those thoughts reveal any more about you

有時一定要先發瘋才能大徹大悟
Everything has a purpose.
凡事都有意義
And it's up to you to find it.
你得自己找出其中的意義
There is no "better".
沒有所謂的好壞之分
You will never be better.
沒有人會比誰更好
Same way you'll never be less than anybody else.
也沒有誰比誰更差
All you need to do is be conscious about your choices.
你只要了解自己的抉擇
and responsible for your actions.
為自己的行為負責就好
Every action has its price and its pleasure.

那才是唯一真正的勇氣
If you don't get what you want, you suffer.
得不到就受盡折磨
And even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer.
就算得到,苦難也不會結束
because you can't hold onto it forever.

There's never nothing going on.
隨時都有事情發生
There are no ordinary moments.
任何一刻都難能可貴
The journey's what brings us happiness not the destination.
這趟路才是我的開心泉源,目的地不重要

這部片真的很值得推薦,最近還有另外一部電影,尋找愛瑞克,和他有異曲同工之妙,只是更通俗、更搞笑,卻又更貼近一般民眾的生活,可以比較看看。
