The four people from different countries in the film suddenly made me feel that there is some kind of metaphor, which depicts the main characteristics of people of different nationalities. American Tom is efficient and purposeful; Canadian women live under the shadow of freedom and an indescribable, this is the true portrayal of Canada's international status; Dutch people enjoy wine and food all the time without worry Worry-free; Englishmen worry and work hard for their work. People from different places go on the same pilgrimage with different purposes. Tom is to fulfill his last wish for a lost child, a Canadian woman is trying to quit smoking, a Dutchman is trying to lose weight, and an Englishman is looking for inspiration to overcome writing obstacles. The pilgrimage road is long and arduous, so that they could not help shedding tears at the moment when they reached it. At the same time, the pilgrimage road was also lonely. Even if the four of them walked together, they still needed to solve their own problems. This problem is not the hardships and difficulties on the road, but the career, life or family, and it is the problem of life. Solving this problem cannot be replaced by others, but must be faced alone. On the way, they had to face their hearts alone, to think and ask for answers. The meaning of pilgrimage is also here. Isn't this the best commentary on Zhou Guoping's book "Pilgrimage Roads"? Although the Holy Land is the end point, when the end point is reached, people's questions may not be answered. The meaning of God lies in guidance and revelation, and the representation of the Holy Land cannot replace the purpose of the mind. At the moment of reaching the end, because of the arrival of the Holy Land's goal, the avatar that is in sight makes people mistakenly think that the goal of the mind has been reached. But this does not hinder their thinking to reach another level - American Tom's pain of bereavement is relieved, because he has helped his son to fulfill his wish; Canadian women have failed to quit smoking, but I got rid of the prejudice against men, and looked at my life more open-mindedly; as for the fat man, it is difficult for me to see anything, and the weight has not been significantly reduced. Maybe the casual life exists in him all the time, which is the meaning in itself; in the end, the success of the writer is obvious at a glance, and even the existence of this film benefits from him.
