It’s not a movie but it makes me think of this quote from Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running:
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore.’ The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.
I feel this may be the sentiment behind, “Pain don’t hurt.”
Indeed it is. The line comes from Patrick Swayze’s head bouncer character “Dalton” in Road House. He is supposed to be a sort of ascetic warrior philosopher. He eschews convenience, lives in a converted barn without air conditioning, etc. because for him physical suffering is of little importance.
I like it but I’m not sure that I get it haha

Swayze and Murakami, my two muses.

For me it means that true pain is something other than physical.
