I managed to fit over 75 films in this one, a personal record! If you want to know the title of a film, you can find them in the subtitles. What are your favorite movie warriors?
Leon: The Professional assassin? Christian Bale in The Prestige, he fights in his own way. Dr Manhattan in Watchmen. Tom Hanks in saving private ryan. The two snipers in black hawk down who are defending the downed blackbird. Denzel Washington in Man on fire. Ripley...in Alien.
I totally forgot to say, this is fantastic work. You know its funny, I watched an interview with Gary Oldman about Darkest hour. He suggested that someone interweaves Darkest Hour with Dunkirk. I can't think of a better channel to do this than yours. Would make for really interesting viewing.
I have to say the DC Trinity of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, especially since I grew up watching the Justice League animated series. As of right now, I think The Last Jedi really fits in relation to Luke, Rey, and Kylo Ren's characters and their struggles with the light. In allowing himself to be an absolutist for even a moment, Luke set Ben Solo on a dark path. Rey's hero worship of the Jedi is changed by her experiences and she becomes something more. Kylo Ren's conflicts play out so powerfully on screen, where his path will take him will be a very interesting one. The Star Wars saga has always been a struggle of light vs dark. The other parts of the franchise like the novels, comics, cartoons, and games gave much more room for more complex stories. It was so refreshing to see that on the big screen.
My suggestion does not fit your question. I point to the mastery of one's mind as philosophized within the Buddhist tradition of Mindful Meditation. This perspective gains character when one overlays the metaphor of the quadrune brain, the housing of the mind which has evolved over the last 500 million years and is host to a vast ocean of karmic conditioning. Where this metaphor, the quadrune brain, simplifies down to four evolutionary layers of the Reptilian, the Middle Brain, and the Neo-Cortex which is subdivided to include the very recently evolved (in evolutionary time scale) PreFrontal Cortex. Even within the Buddhist tradition, one of their greatest philosophers pointed to the need to war for the purpose of the goal, awakening. If one recognizes the legitimacy of J. Campbell's perspective on the roots of myth, initially described in his "Hero of a Thousand Faces", and fleshed out in his Mythos series of lectures just before his passing, then each of these reflect the path to mastery and awakening, or using Jung's term, individuation. These archetypes described by Carol Pearson in "The Heros Within" reflect what humanity is capable of attaining. All movies which ennoble this are worthy of suggestion.
'The best fighter is never angry.' Lao Tzu. A true warrior knows this because their power does not arise from anger but from toughness of will, an indomitable, unconquerable spirit.
@@yoooo790the problem with rage and anger is it will motivate you but it will also make you bitter, vengeful and impulsive. The more you use it, the more it grows uncontrollable. Anger is never a friend but an ally that if not careful will become an enemy and consume you. (Avatar the last air bender shiii)
I'm an English teacher right here in Brazil, and to my advanced students I usually use your videos in class to practice listening in English and also to discuss all these lovely issues that you cover using movies. However I do more than these with your videos, I've already said to you that I used your Interstellar analyse in lecture that I presented in my college - Universidade de São Paulo - and, of course, I said where is the source from that I get it, from your channel. So thank you, and I will still donate a contribution for you. Don't stop these amazing work.
Yeah, but he has an accent. LOL! But, we all have accents. You're right in sharing these videos. A proper expression of the best of culture invites better learning. My advice for speaking English is to speak slowly and stress the consonants. (I've worked all over the world to include Brazil. Obrigado!)
Hello from the US! My spanish teacher has 2 PhD's. She earned one in Brazil and one in the US. She is about 5 feet tall but her personality is huge. She has great in depth opinions on everything. I'm not entirely sure but I think ahe said she went to that same college. Anyway, have a nice day.
He really is becoming the culmination of the whole genre... No words alone could strike so deep as those embedded with meaningful and relatable scenes and music...
I am way impressed with his work. His commentary was delivered smoothly. Intertwined with many persona. The graphics was exciting and aligned well with his message. In going to watch all of his videos!
If not for there being four set archetypes of King, Lover, Warrior, and Magician, I would propose a fifth: Archetype of the Builder. The Archetype of the Builder is the drive to construct and to make things better. The Builder embodies discipline, industriousness, creativity, and altruism to improve the lives of themselves and others, despite the flawed, imperfect, and chaotic nature of the world. The shadow version of the Builder would be the delusional Utopianist who tries to impose perfection on an imperfect world, even when such ideas ignore the flawed and imperfect nature of human beings, resulting in the suffering of others.
@@sage7172 there is an archetype for literally everything. Read archetypes of the collective unconscious by Carl Jung. He invented archetypes and is one of the founding fathers of psychology
Every. Damn. Time. I am moved to a watery eye and a renewed sense of inner truth. Your videos always seem to reinvigorate and impassion my will and mind. Thank you 💜💪 Namaste 🙏
Choose your battles wisely. Fight each of them with wisdom and determination. And when it's done, lay down your weapon and come home. Until you have to leave home again for the next battle...in this war called Life. Brilliant video essay. Waiting for the final instalment in this Quadrilogy: The Magician Archetype
Rejoy Panakkal Along with 'victories' and defeats that help gain a Warrior his or her own inner pride and a sense of self purpose not only to oneself but in the satisfaction of helping and defending others usually lead to NOT being able to lay down the weapons and finally coming home, once and for all to greener pastures? Can the warrior and the warrior spirit truly and finally be at peace within him or herself?
@@darrin7684 I think they can if they have no pride or sense of egoistic achievement. There is evil: terrorism, imperialism, oppression. The warrior is needed. The warrior does not kill the dragon to be a hero, but only because they have to do it to fulfill their duties. They know there is nothing to be proud of as it is the bare minimum that must be done. The shadow warrior can get proud by this, not the warrior.
I was struggling with anxiety and depression and undergoing therapy (using some Jungian methods). Your videos helped me understand what my therapist was trying to help me see. It's changed my life life and the life of my family. Thank you for guiding and helping people through showing the positive and inspirational themes in media. So much of modern media is bleak and nihilistic and you are doing a great job of showing deeper more human themes.
@Kieran Donald "The meeting with oneself is, at first, the meeting with one's own shadow. The shadow is a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared who goes down to the deep well. But one must learn to know oneself in order to know who one is. For what comes after the door is, surprisingly enough, a boundless expanse full of unprecedented uncertainty, with apparently no inside and no outside, no above and no beyond, no here nor there, no mine no thine, no good and no bad." - Carl Jung
@Natasel «A villain is just some one else's hero. The only real difference is one wins and the other loses» Not necesarelly. The positive shadow form is someone who uses one of the four energies in a way that only benefits him or herself, taking advantage and harming others. The tyrant, the bully, the trickster, the stalker... Those aren't anyone's hero, regardless of who is winning and losing. They are universally evil. The negative shadow form is someone who is unable to use any of the four energies in any way, even if willing to do so, and therefore, is used and abused by the positive shadows. The weakling, manipulated by the tyrant; the abused, beaten by the bully; the naif, cheated by the trickster; and the impotent, incapable of love. They are universally victims. You are thinking more in terms of politics, and not in archetypes, I believe.
I love you! You’re not a movie critic bashing movies, actors and directors they don’t like which I’m sick and tired of. You always find something meaningful and beautiful in movies which makes me emotional and more appreciative of filmmaking in general. Thank you.
I think we will always be fighting for the best aspects of humanity, against the worst aspects of humanity. It does not change the fact that, good or bad, it is all part of humanity. We cannot fully accept ourselves while denying our unfavorable characteristics. It's like loving an individual, to love them and you must accept their flaws as well, otherwise you do not truly love THEM, you only love an idealized version of them. Of course this doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive to be our best selves and over come our flaws, I think the struggle with ones self is the most important battle that anyone will ever take part in.
I would suggest that Neo in the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions is one of the best modern examples of the kind of hero you suggest is ideal in your video. He comes to the Machines with the promise of peace and coexistence rather than domination.
Beamber the problem with Neo is that he's part of one of those "chosen one" stories where it's not by his actions that he realises he has the capacity to become the warrior but at least he reaches his potential through his own actions
Ive studied Carl Jung's work and carried around that same "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover" book like a bible for a few months. Always wanted it broken down exactly this way. Love the way you use film as you go through the archetypes. Excellent.
Hey LSOO, I'm a teacher/therapist who's been looking for ways of using contemporary film to introduce my youths to archetypal psychology and I am totally in awe of your content. I've been reading Moore and Gillette and am so excited to find this video, not only for helping me clarify the concepts for teaching, but for affirming the importance of an otherwise isolated curiosity in soul work that seems no one else on the internet has taken the time to articulate. Much aloha, keep up the great work!
Riveting. Compelling. Resonating. Brilliantly composed collections of knowledge, wisdom and understanding of and for Humanity! Most humbly and sincerely, I am grateful for this these works!
Your videos are simply breathtaking... in both content and in choice of subject matter. This quality is above and beyond that of most professional docu-series on mainstream TV or even Netflix. 🙌🏻💯 I absolutely love your work, and your willingness to share your passion/intellect openly, through making videos. ⭐️
In my opinion, your channel is one of the best on TH-cam. Both entertaining and thought provoking. Every one of your works of art I can relate to and leaves me deep in thought. Thank you!
You have figured out the perfect formula for film analysis. I love every video and it inspires my writing. Maybe one day you'll do a video on a movie I write....maybe...
I love how these videos are creating avenues of constructive discussion and argument, more so than in your average TH-cam comments section. I will definitely be sharing this one with my friends and getting into some probably extremely deep conversations. Continue to make these works of art please! Essential viewing for many people!
Mannn. My lip started quivering at the part about there being only “one dragon they’re facing.” The human ego, the conceptual sense of separation and alienation. This is the one demon we all face. Our own mind’s conceptual projection keeps us trapped in fear. If we can defeat this ultimate monster, we can be free. We can come home. We can live lives of peace, joy, love, truth, awareness, and courage. Thank you so much for this video!!!
You have a great talent. Tyranny of a dull mind is the new American disease. As a warrior nation we live in a world of black and white, the “you’re either with us or against us” mentality that blocks out nuance, possibilities or new thoughts. Rather than the freest nation we are bound and imprisoned by fear of our differences. My hope that videos like this can open up our minds to realize we are one people with similar desires, similar goals and similar fears. E pluribus Unum, the US motto sums that up quite neatly.
I wholeheartedly appreciate your video and the proposal of writing a new narrative for warriors. I love to learn about humanity through film too and you do it very well. The Disney movie and character Moana is definitely for me - especially as a women - part of that new narrative...breaking down the good vs evil paradigm and realising this is all within. How 'evil' or 'darkness' can reside within us when the heart of our compassionate self is not engaged. To me compassion is the ultimate warrior...the warrior that builds bridges, allows for and celebrates unity in diversity. Thank you again.
I'm reading KWML right now and I've had this video front and center on my Watch Later list until I finally got around to reading the Warrior chapter. Now that I have, I finally got to watch your video essay and it, as per usual, exceeds expectations. I can't wait to watch the Magician video essay when I finish that chapter, more than likely by tomorrow. Every video you make moves me immensely. You are sincerely my favorite and I believe the best content creator on TH-cam. Keep up your wonderful work.
This found me at the perfect time. Thank you, for your initial upload, for you consistency, and for the THIS specific upload. I look forward to the next one!
I love this video! I cannot tell you how many times I have come back and re-watched this one. I bought the book, King, warrior, Magician, Lover after watching this and I've read it three times since. Thank you for showing me that this book was out there!
Dude, your editing, voice over, script, research, philosophy is truly amazing. One of the best TH-cam channels there is because your hard work shows in the simplicity of each video. Brilliant.
There's so much detail and work put on this video... the editing, the music, your soft, deep voice... it was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps. Great job. And I loved the theme so much... it's something to stew over. Now I even want to buy the books you mentioned!
Every video of yours is of such high quality, with deep insight and always seems to leave a lingering thought that stays with the viewers ... keep it up! You deserve a million subscribers!
oh my goodness these videos are so good they bring tears to my eyes. I feel like so much of humanity has forgotten these parts of ourselves that are so beautiful and worthy of celebration
The narrative of your video essay combined with the incredible selection of imagery from iconic films we all love is so potent. Watching this filled me with a deep recognition of this archetype within and outside of me. Brilliant work on this, continue to make these wonderful videos!
i cannot express how healing your videos are. this is, i dont know, the third time that im watching this and every time its the right time. im so thankful for you
I LOVED that you put Kambei Shimada from Seven Samurai in this video! One of the most underrated heroes of all time, not to mention my favorite film of ALL TIME.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to press on when fear is all around. A lack of fear is sufficient for bravery, but true courage requires an abundance of it.
I've been watching your videos consistently for about three days now. Truly brilliant work. Thank you for making these and please continue to make more.
Your thoughts and this channel are the most important things I have seen, listened to and admired on the whole of TH-cam. I don't have much but I am going to mosey over to Patreon right now.
this content is really great. not only is it well written and well researched, but the editing is fantastic. it must take you days to collect all the footage for each video. but I really appreciate all the specific visual examples you use, it adds a lot to your content.
Being an up and coming movie channel I truly love your content. You suggesting that the warrior's influence extends beyond physical violence and highlighting the transformative power of asserting one's will in various aspects of life is what i took out of the video
I just want to thank you so much for making this series of videos. I internalize the archetypes in a big way as part of my work, and while reading that Robert Moore book, I was also able to have your videos as companions. What an amazing opportunity on my part. Keep up all the great work.
Dang dude this is so on point. I appreciate all of the work that you do and can tell that you enjoy it which is just awesome. Keep on staying true to you fam. Peace be easy.
Thank you so much for this series! You've artfully articulated ancient wisdom and teachings in a easily consumable and understandable way. These are powerful messages and I'm grateful they're getting shared. Love your voice for this style of movie, outstanding production.
Yea, the archetype inspires people, but an actual warrior is hated by his community until he is called to defend the sheep from onslaught. That being said, your philosophical viewpoint on the archetype is spot on. I am most grateful for your videos as I'm sure most are
This series is beautifully created, it's articulate, precise, visually rich and it's really educating and empowering to watch this. Thank you 🙏 you have done a phenomenal job of bringing all this information together
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that this video has been one of your most relevant video to date. It really helps me with my anxiety and motivates me in my darkest hours to live and love in every sense of those words. So thank you. I look forward to your next videos
I just realized that I’ve been fighting trying to be a warrior because I did not want fighting to be what my life was about. And yet it is necessary sometimes in order for a greater change to take place. But my favorite part was the end how you talked about helping turn our enemies into friends. It’s so true. I don’t know if it’s always possible but it feels very important to get to the other side of all this. Thank you for creating all this content. I’m really getting a lot out of it. ❤️❤️❤️
Damn I am on a binge watch with notepad and coffee here in my country...ur channel,analysis breakdown is so crystal clear and informative ...nvr stop bruh
OMG I fucking love your videos man. They are absolutely AMAZING. I love this archetypes of heroes, warriors, kings... and the ethical philosophy of Kant. Good job man!
The ending was right on the money, my whole life I have trained in this mindset, no outlet for purpose in this modern era, but modern purpose to building and reestablishing community is at the utmost meaningful. The last struggle is that against giving up our skills and ability to be self sustaining in the face of modern convenience, consumerism. Were shackles of dependency to an devolving economic system will inevitably consume our will and freedom as technology logs all of our habits in order to squeeze further profits out of everything we do, leading us and our kin into societal endentured servitude. gather and practice your knowledge, warriors. gardening, foraging, shelter, cleanliness, and self awareness are the only aspects that cannot be taken from us, but always be available to share to those less fortunate.
You inspired me, and I feel like thats your goal, inspire people, so congratulations you’ve made a wonderful and beautiful job. Anxious for the magician arque type.
This video is a timeless work of art, I love all the depth and subtlety in your editing choices. I have watched it many times, and will continue. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration. Time to go Train :)

The shadow warrior archetype has made quite an impact on people's views and I agree that it deserves an in depth look in its own right
Grumbles well its still a warrior but has dfferent views. He is not worse then the archetype he is just a rival.

The Disney movie and character Moana is definitely for me - especially as a women - part of that new narrative...breaking down the good vs evil paradigm and realising this is all within. How 'evil' or 'darkness' can reside within us when the heart of our compassionate self is not engaged. To me compassion is the ultimate warrior...the warrior that builds bridges, allows for and celebrates unity in diversity. Thank you again.
I'm reading KWML right now and I've had this video front and center on my Watch Later list until I finally got around to reading the Warrior chapter. Now that I have, I finally got to watch your video essay and it, as per usual, exceeds expectations. I can't wait to watch the Magician video essay when I finish that chapter, more than likely by tomorrow.
Every video you make moves me immensely. You are sincerely my favorite and I believe the best content creator on TH-cam. Keep up your wonderful work.
This found me at the perfect time. Thank you, for your initial upload, for you consistency, and for the THIS specific upload. I look forward to the next one!
I love this video! I cannot tell you how many times I have come back and re-watched this one. I bought the book, King, warrior, Magician, Lover after watching this and I've read it three times since. Thank you for showing me that this book was out there!
Dude, your editing, voice over, script, research, philosophy is truly amazing. One of the best TH-cam channels there is because your hard work shows in the simplicity of each video. Brilliant.
I just cried for most of this. I don’t fully know why? Thank You so much. This whole series is beautiful.
You add so much to dialogue around warriors. I can't wait for the magician archetype!
There's so much detail and work put on this video... the editing, the music, your soft, deep voice... it was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps. Great job. And I loved the theme so much... it's something to stew over. Now I even want to buy the books you mentioned!
Every video of yours is of such high quality, with deep insight and always seems to leave a lingering thought that stays with the viewers ... keep it up! You deserve a million subscribers!
oh my goodness these videos are so good they bring tears to my eyes. I feel like so much of humanity has forgotten these parts of ourselves that are so beautiful and worthy of celebration
The narrative of your video essay combined with the incredible selection of imagery from iconic films we all love is so potent. Watching this filled me with a deep recognition of this archetype within and outside of me. Brilliant work on this, continue to make these wonderful videos!
Your work has meaning and purpose, youre helping me build the warrior within.
dude this video made me tear up for a sec there. amazing job
I've been watching a lot of youtube daily since I was in fifth grade (2008), and this is my favourite video I have ever watched. God bless you brother
i cannot express how healing your videos are. this is, i dont know, the third time that im watching this and every time its the right time. im so thankful for you
I LOVED that you put Kambei Shimada from Seven Samurai in this video! One of the most underrated heroes of all time, not to mention my favorite film of ALL TIME.
This is a masterpiece (The Archetype series) indeed - beautiful and deep, so well done. Congrats
This was so powerful for me. It seems not much can resonate so strongly to move me to tears in an instant. Thank you for your fantastic videos
You’re the kind of person that I’d love to sit down, drink coffee, and talk philosophy all day with.
deeply moved watching thi, connecting to how I learnt to channel the Warrior as a way to survive as a child.
Thank you.
Greatly done! Keep them coming, we are waiting for the video on the magician archetype.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to press on when fear is all around. A lack of fear is sufficient for bravery, but true courage requires an abundance of it.
I can't even begin to tell you how inspiring this is. Your work is incredible.
I've been watching your videos consistently for about three days now. Truly brilliant work. Thank you for making these and please continue to make more.
Your thoughts and this channel are the most important things I have seen, listened to and admired on the whole of TH-cam. I don't have much but I am going to mosey over to Patreon right now.
This channel should have a million subscribers
this content is really great. not only is it well written and well researched, but the editing is fantastic. it must take you days to collect all the footage for each video. but I really appreciate all the specific visual examples you use, it adds a lot to your content.
Your channel absolutely blows my and many others' minds in a very positive way. You're doing purely divine work here, Tom!
Being an up and coming movie channel I truly love your content. You suggesting that the warrior's influence extends beyond physical violence and highlighting the transformative power of asserting one's will in various aspects of life is what i took out of the video
I got chills through this whole video. So glad I found this channel
I just want to thank you so much for making this series of videos. I internalize the archetypes in a big way as part of my work, and while reading that Robert Moore book, I was also able to have your videos as companions. What an amazing opportunity on my part. Keep up all the great work.
Dang dude this is so on point. I appreciate all of the work that you do and can tell that you enjoy it which is just awesome. Keep on staying true to you fam. Peace be easy.
Can't wait for the Magician archetype now.
I really enjoyed this video. It shows some many different version of the warrior, not just the fighting warrior. Thanks for putting it together.
Thank you so much for this series! You've artfully articulated ancient wisdom and teachings in a easily consumable and understandable way. These are powerful messages and I'm grateful they're getting shared. Love your voice for this style of movie, outstanding production.
I really appreciate the perspective you bring to these topics! Thank you!
Just finished reading that book a couple nights ago. It's amazing and the impact that it had on me will stay with me for life.
you HAVE to continue this series it has taught me so much and made such an impact on my life in such a short time. Please make more
Well done. What is more powerful than archetypes -- truly we long for them. Thank you.
We have to stand . Strong. A wall. Of overwhelmingly. Wellbeing . Unconditional love and gratitude. Strong
Yea, the archetype inspires people, but an actual warrior is hated by his community until he is called to defend the sheep from onslaught. That being said, your philosophical viewpoint on the archetype is spot on. I am most grateful for your videos as I'm sure most are
This series is beautifully created, it's articulate, precise, visually rich and it's really educating and empowering to watch this. Thank you 🙏 you have done a phenomenal job of bringing all this information together
Another outstanding, touching and insightful video essay that sparks dozens of provocative thoughts in my mind. Thank you.
Introspective narration, stunning visuals and very well put together. Bonus = Reminder of movies I need to watch again.
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that this video has been one of your most relevant video to date. It really helps me with my anxiety and motivates me in my darkest hours to live and love in every sense of those words. So thank you. I look forward to your next videos
A beautifully explored and expressed essay on the warrior archetype. Thank you.
This is, for sure, One of the best videos I’ve ever seen!
I just realized that I’ve been fighting trying to be a warrior because I did not want fighting to be what my life was about. And yet it is necessary sometimes in order for a greater change to take place. But my favorite part was the end how you talked about helping turn our enemies into friends. It’s so true. I don’t know if it’s always possible but it feels very important to get to the other side of all this. Thank you for creating all this content. I’m really getting a lot out of it. ❤️❤️❤️
As always, incredibly well done. You have a clear voice for telling these stories. Tremendous! 👏
How could this channel have hidden from me so long? I am thankful beyond my ability to express.
I've watched this at least 7 times now. It cane at an amazing time in my life. Thank you.
Damn I am on a binge watch with notepad and coffee here in my country...ur channel,analysis breakdown is so crystal clear and informative ...nvr stop bruh
WOW! This was fantastic, it was like a movie in itself. So glad I found this channel.
Again I was left in tears, love your videos.
"Hi Bob, what is your profession?"
"AHOO! AHOO! AHOO!"
"Please leave..."
underrated comment
The quintessence of the warrior is the individual fighting his own ego to transcend the human condition. Thanks, your video is inspiring.
Incredible. Thank you for sharing these . . . Moore was a sage RIP
You're the best channel I've found lately. Thanks a lot for this sinchronicity TH-cam!
Had a lump in my throat by the end. Appreciate it, thank you.
Excellent!, my deepest congratulations to you work, keep enlightening us all. Thank you Sir
Another eloquent exploration of this archetype. Thank you!
OMG I fucking love your videos man. They are absolutely AMAZING. I love this archetypes of heroes, warriors, kings... and the ethical philosophy of Kant. Good job man!
Really love this channel, especially this series on the archetypes. Keep up the good work!
Another tremendous video. Thank you for creating this video and putting it on You Tube.
The ending was right on the money, my whole life I have trained in this mindset, no outlet for purpose in this modern era, but modern purpose to building and reestablishing community is at the utmost meaningful.
The last struggle is that against giving up our skills and ability to be self sustaining in the face of modern convenience, consumerism. Were shackles of dependency to an devolving economic system will inevitably consume our will and freedom as technology logs all of our habits in order to squeeze further profits out of everything we do, leading us and our kin into societal endentured servitude.
gather and practice your knowledge, warriors. gardening, foraging, shelter, cleanliness, and self awareness are the only aspects that cannot be taken from us, but always be available to share to those less fortunate.
Patchwork Gardens Looks like capitalization is one thing they can take however.
This channel and these videos help keep my sanity. Thank you.
Absolutely mind blowing series. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to create this masterpiece!
