For my third outside reading, I read an analysis about the
movie “The Way,” which honors the
Camino de Santiago and promotes the popular pilgrimage. During this film, a father
comes to understand his son’s life through his death as he wanders along the
Camino. While completing his trek, he also comes to find himself as well. The
main conflict in this film is the battle we all have within ourselves to decide
between choosing a life and living a life. This particular analysis states that,
“This greater question of finding oneself is a matter of acceptance and choice.”
Through this quote I believe they are trying to convey the message that in
order to truly find oneself, one must put themself out there and be willing to
engage in the journey to do so. An individual must choose to begin the process
of finding oneself in order to achieve this discovery. In summary, the movie “The Way” is a good depiction of the traditional
journey of the Camino de Santiago.
