Review of The Way (2010) by Dharmamitra S — 03 Aug 2012
I was DEEPLY Affected by this film. Perhaps it resonates on far More personal Level with me, than with many others, but the Message in this Simple, gorgeously shot on location in the Mountains of Europe and Profound film. The Father and son aspect, struck me profoundly, and the ages of thr father and son are exactly the ages of my father and me.
The Way is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on, is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his "California Bubble Life". Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey.
