      Chris said that there is a "little child" in the heart of everyone who travels.

      One of the reasons for the five stars is because I watched it while drinking with my favorite people. Chris is about to take this road. During the film, he shared some interesting stories from Gapyear from time to time, and I still have a few days to go to Xiamen Volunteer, so the day of separation from Chris for a long time is getting closer. Finally, I saw the entity of Emily's account, three or four thick books. Listening to her explaining those illustrations and small objects while...

      i

      The four characters in the film represent neither typical nor good or evil. Everyone's beliefs are not absolutely specific, but whether it is for others, for life, or for anything, on the pilgrimage road, it is about the end of one's arrival. Whether it is Santiago in Every stop on the way, every emergency, every hesitation is another way of faith. On the pilgrimage road, you may start alone, or you may be accompanied by halfway through the journey. You can feel it only by yourself. No...

      Healing on foot, not related to belief, good movie

      I admire the four people in the movie, they have the courage to carry their own pains and go on the road, heal their wounds and finally find themselves on the journey! The strange thing is that the four of them did not come to Santiago because of their faith, but they were still shocked when they saw the church and the ceremony after arriving. That scene was spectacular. I think that is a ceremony for everyone, people need such a sense of ceremony! Compared with people who are wasted in the...

      It seems difficult to simply characterize this film

      There seem to be many elements in this film. From the title of this film, we can see the religious elements; and from the setting of the protagonist Tom who lost his son, it undoubtedly explores family affection; and the main characters in the film embark on this pilgrimage road. From the perspective of the setting with different purposes, the topic of the meaning of travel to life is also discussed; judging from the large natural scenery in the film, it seems that it is also very suitable for...

      heart practice

      People who don't use it, for various reasons, walk a road in Spain, which is both a pilgrimage and a practice.

      The protagonist Tom's son, Daniel, died on the first day of the road in bad weather. Tom decided to go down the road for his son.

      On the way, I met Jost, a Dutchman who wanted to lose weight, Salad, a Canadian woman who wanted to quit smoking, and Jack, a writer who continued to write.

      finally reach the end. Said it was for his son, but in fact it was for...
