The Way

I usually don't post reviews of movies, but......."The Way" was so good that I wanted
to share it!
The story centers on people who journey along El Camino, Spain, for various reasons:
religious pilgrimage, commemorative journey, freedom from the craziness of modern world,
the chance to commune with nature along the Pyrenees. ....800 kilometers of
walking and hiking. More than the physical journey, it's an emotional one.....the characters along the way each have a story......and their stories evolve as the
journey progresses. Hardship, gorgeous scenery, interaction with the towns folks
along the way.....personal reasons for embarking on this arduous trip.

Martin Sheen is great! He decides to complete the journey for his son, who was killed in
a winter storm , while hiking El Camino. The reason: maybe fulfillment for his son;
maybe self fulfillment; maybe to take stock of his life and see if there's more to life
than golf and work.......
This is not an action-packed movie, but it's not a dull one, either. It flows nicely, allows
you to get into the moment, share the travelers' stories, and view the beautiful setting.
It's the best movie in years!
