"Peace Warrior" is an indescribable feeling. Through the actors' facial expressions, eyes, mouth corners, a large number of psychological illusions, and dialogues, it depicts a contradiction in people's hearts, and the wandering and searching in this contradiction. Epiphanies and feelings in. What impressed me the most was the scene where Dan and Socrates worked hard to practice the rings and enjoyed the whole process after returning from the mountain. In that scene, there was no language, only the switching of the training scene, the sonorous and powerful practice of the rings, time and time again. Falling, continuous practice in the swimming pool, running figures in the campus, continuous persistence, continuous progress, yellow leaves falling, drizzle fluttering, all the pictures alternate, silently describing the experience under time. In the end, Dan concentrated all his thoughts on the Olympic field: right here, right now, right at the moment, completed the beautiful ring movement, exhilarated the hosts, amazed the teammates, moved the coach... I think, The success of this moment is far from the success of completing the ring competition beautifully, but the success of a spirit that transcends life!

The young man named Dan in the film met "Socrates" at the gas station in a state of mind mixed with fear, fear of failure, chaos and contradiction. His inner innuendo made him always involuntarily go to Socrates for answers. However, every time Socrates trains him or gives him so-called answers, it does not satisfy Daniel in the first place. On the contrary, Daniel has always experienced something, helpless or failed or hopeless, and then he has an epiphany and understands the meaning of Socrates' training and guidance in an instant. Moreover, this meaning is also understood by Dan himself, not directly told by Socrates. There are many such scenes in the film, that is, when Daniel can't understand Socrates' training or instruction, he will complain, vent, and yell at Socrates. At this time, the director will always Give Socrates a shot, with a face and an action figure. Although there is no more expressive component, it always makes people feel meaningful. There are many such scenes in the film, that is, when Daniel realizes something, he will freeze with concentration or a smile. At this time, the film also often gives Socrates a shot, which is still a facial expression, which seems calm, but the eyes and the corners of the mouth hide affirmation and relief.

Experience! experience! Experienced, experienced, and then realized what my heart was looking for and chasing. I feel once again that only by letting the protagonist realize himself is the real transcendence of education! It takes time for the protagonist to realize himself, and it will be misunderstood many times. However, the ultimate transcendence is amazing!
