I find it pretty funny and ironic that my archetype is a warrior, just because i recently had just seen the movie “Gladiator” about a week ago. So when I found out my archetype was a warrior automatically I thought about the movie. For those of you who are familiar with the warrior archetype and have seen the movie Gladiator absolutely know what I’m talking about when I say Maximus is a true and prime example of a warrior. The warrior archetype resembles someone who is loyal, fights for what they believe in, and have a tendency of overcoming adversity with the strength and courage to never give up, pretty much imposing their will and dominance with the heart and desire. The picture above is from the movie “Gladiator” it’s the scene where Maximus is fighting the legendary Titus the god, in a very unfair fight for his life. It just really resemble what a warrior is to me in my opinion. He is defying the odds and overcoming adversity just simply by imposing his will in a battle against a very large and intimidating opponent, as well surviving with three tigers surrounding them as they battle for dominance. Another aspect of being a warrior is simply competitiveness, the will to compete which reminds of the modern day warrior, which in my opinion is a UFC (MMA) fighter. Just like Gladiator’s, UFC fighters compete and battle in similar arenas that have changed from the roman era to the year 2010. If you take a look at the two pictures shown below you can see the comparison. Additionally with a comparison of Gladiators and UFC (MMA) fighters.
So as you can see, the gladiator days have evolved a lot.
