"Pilgrimage Road" takes the Santiago Road in Spain, which is as famous as the Silk Road and the Inca Road. It starts in the name of pilgrimage, and the final destination is nothing more than to be closer to your heart. Although people often say that many things die on the word "waiting", I still need to wait for my dream of re-travelling the Silk Road. After all, poor travel has never been for suffering and suffering, and the destination of my body is not the same. Must be a rest stop for the mind. With an immortal heart, it is not just about shaking the water snake-like bucket around the waist and dancing around with demons, but also being brave and willing to accept unfamiliar things on the premise of ensuring the material foundation and not burdening others. This world is very strange at all times, just like the policewoman in "Crimes of Love" finally ran into a strange street only to find that her life has been forced so narrowly, it doesn't matter whether it is self-destruction or self-preservation, pilgrimage or depravity , just want to find a way to your heart.
"We kept forgetting to build a bridge and look into each other's hearts."
His 40-year-old son Daniel gave up his studies and a bright future to travel around the world. In the eyes of his nearly 70-year-old ophthalmologist father, he is simply unbearable. On the one hand, there are young people whose spiritual realm is higher than the material foundation, and on the other hand, there are middle-aged and elderly people who are ready to dump negative energy chicken soup at any time. The bad relationship between the father and the son is also reflected in the pair of Gypsy father and son in the film. The father tries to use good education to change his son's stealing problems and the world's prejudice against Gypsies, but the son does not repent. It is a pity that these two examples mostly reflect the difficulties and helplessness of fathers. They put so much effort into their children but cannot get the fruits they want. Education is a profession with great responsibility that they have to learn by themselves. It is a pity on the day of graduation. Indefinitely. At the Gypsy party, the little boy watched the lively party from a distance from the window. The audience did not have the opportunity to understand what the little boy was thinking about in his rebellious heart. In fact, it meant that the parents did not take the time to understand their children. The intention of the incident is to impose on the child what he believes to be the correct values. The stubbornness of the two sides contains both the recognition of each other's intelligence and self-confidence, and the disgust of each other's arrogance. Fortunately, they did not pretend to smile at each other like a happy family.
The photography of the film is completely handed over to the light of nature, and the scenery that is either full of life or fascinated by the mountain road is full of intimacy and simplicity. The people under the camera are constantly walking, watching, bewildered, and intoxicated. They must give themselves the courage to support themselves every day, because no matter how sentimental the travel is, the moment they wake up every morning, they will feel pain. The exhaustion and the discomfort of the bed are still tearing at the bones, and there is another day of exhaustion, and all this must be made up by the rich travel experience: the smiles of the businessmen along the way, a dew-stained flower on the road, the family next door The crying of children during the trip, the comfort of standing alone in front of the beautiful scenery, an unheard of history, a small river that has witnessed the changes of several dynasties... These are the beauty of nature's tolerance and gift.
Sometimes people can't tell the difference between reality and dreams and are troubled by it, largely due to careless making friends or bad social environment, and then their already unstable three views collapse instantly under the fragile spiritual belief, doubts Appearance is often accompanied by pain, so there will always be a few friends who are not like-minded but can be sincerely made friends with the protagonists in road films. After all, few people can have such a powerful soul like the male protagonist in "Wild Survival" . There are three companions in "The Pilgrimage": a writer looking for inspiration for writing, a casual fat man trying to lose weight and a woman who is eager to get away from the shadow of her ex-husband, plus Thomas, who just lost her child, the bad combination will always welcome you. Here comes a dramatic turning point—accompanying each other because of understanding, cherishing each other because of being strong, and respecting because of independence.
The general plot of the film is not difficult to guess. For example, the father will spread his son's ashes along the way, and the ashes are stolen. Later, the father finds a new outlook on life, etc., just waiting for the details to be filled to make the story more flesh and blood. I like Martin Sheen's performance very much. He has made great efforts to transform a sad father who wants to fulfill his wish for his son to agree with the details of this "luxury" outlook on life. The doubts of the group dormitory, the arrogance of being forced to walk with people of completely different classes, the confusion caused by the overworked journey, etc. are all impressive. When he checked in at the terminal Santiago de Compostela, he began to use his own name, and later changed his son's name, which can be understood as the beginning of his rebirth. This journey is indeed to commemorate his son and fulfill his last wish. The son is young and unyielding soul, and he will inherit the high fighting spirit of his parents and continue to embrace the world with a heart that is willing to learn and communicate. It was Daniel who completed the pilgrimage, and Thomas' pilgrimage had just begun.
"YOUDIDN'TCHANGEYOULIFE, YOUULIVEDONE." Daniel said to Thomas before he set off. To choose is to give up, and to give up will hurt. Only those who have felt the pain can say that they have made the choice. Thomas often saw his son when he set off, sometimes mocking and sometimes enjoying, and finally the shadow of death disappeared completely. This is Thomas' choice. Like a wild and free gypsy, he feels the joy of being alive and lonely. This time, he didn't need to hurry, the his way.
