I watched this movie on my way back to Singapore. The old ancient pilgrimage journey The Way of St James.
I was interested because the title caught me. "The Way."
From a pilgrimage journey of Taylor, Emilio Estevez's own son, he discussed it with his father, Martin Sheen, to make a movie about the journey.
This movie is the collaboration of Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen to honour the Camino de Santiago and promote the traditional pilgrimage.
(Wikipedia)
It's a story about a father, whose son was killed on his journey while traveling the "El camino de Santiago". He then decided to continue the journey on behalf of his son. Along his journey, he got to meet some interesting people, with whom he then went for the journey together.
For me, this movie speaks a lot about family, relationship, and our own personal growth.
In this lives, we have our Cross to carry. We have our personal reasons to go for a pilgrimage trip.
At the end, whoever we meet, whichever way we go, we will find ourselves.
There are 5 characters in this movie. The father, the son, the Dutch guy, the Canadian Lady, and an Irish guy.
The Dutch guy who has a friendly personality, who just goes along with the journey. He was not in rush.
The Canadian Lady, someone who has a desire to finish the journey, but keeps procrastinating on the process.
The Irish guy, a writer who tries to find his courage in writing.
The father, is someone who feels guilty and wants to relive the moments with his son. So he traveled the same journey, to find his son.
The son, someone who inspires people, who has a dream, who wants to make a different in life and wants to create his own story, but sadly couldn't finish his journey.
We are not alone in this life,
there's always others to accompany us, whether in short or long term
and we have to make the best of our journey :)
