The Way (2010)

Recently I attended an advanced screening of the movie The Way, starring Martin Sheen and co-starring his son Emilio Estevez. Emilio also wrote, directed, and co-produced the film. Both Martin and Emilio were surprise guests at the screening and spoke to the audience afterwards. Emilio apologized for the kinds of films Hollywood produces today which are typically devoid of any story concept, relatable characters, and moral values. It has a well written script – the movie tells a story that you want to apply to your own life. The acting is a pleasure to watch. The soundtrack includes songs by James Taylor, Alanis Morrisette and Coldplay, as well as a beautiful score by Tyler Bates.

Martin Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor and widower who travels to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to recover the body of his estranged adult son (played by Emilio), who was killed accidentally during a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James). Driven by his profound grief, Tom decides to finish the 800 kilometer pilgrimage his son began, taking his son’s cremated remains with him and spreading them along the historical trek – from the Pyrenees in southern France, to Santiago de Compostela in northwest of Spain.

The film centers on this unlikely quartet featuring the main protagonist Tom, a gregarious Dutchman (played brilliantly by Yorick van Wageningen) a Canadian with an attitude (Deborah Kara Unger) and an Irish narcissistic travel writer (James Nesbitt) who is experiencing writer’s block.

Tom’s inner healing is gradual, as is his journey from agnosticism back to faith again. The words of his son come back to him as he learns to let go of his California-country-club life and discover the difference between “The life we live and the life we choose”.
