At the beginning, the protagonist thought he would embark on a pilgrimage for his son. But at the end he understood that it was all for himself, and that his son was the one who pushed him to go.
There are many details and scenes in the film, which are vivid and vivid, and I believe that people who have shared experience will have a deep understanding.
Reminds myself of my 2015 cycling trip around Qinghai Lake.
The scene of the four people urinating on the outskirts, remembering that they and their friends were riding a bicycle, and they chose a location where the weeds were dense and long. One is watching to see if there are passersby, and the other is convenient. Hilarious and fun, that's what it's like to be on the road.
In the 360 ​​kilometers around Qinghai Lake, many people choose to walk, and more people choose to cycle. The film is more of a hiker, a small amount of cycling. The Dutchman in the film said, you can ride a bike, why did we choose to walk? The writer said that walking is closer to pilgrims. Walking steadily step by step is indeed more powerful than riding a bicycle. Next time, I will also choose to be a hiker.
The protagonist in the film starts with one person and ends with four people. From loneliness, to get friendship. And when I was in Qinghai Lake, a group of people started, two people on the way, and then a group of people, and finally I and my friends came to the end. On the way, I meet many friends, and they will disappear after a journey with them. Just like on the road of our life, some people appear and some people disappear. Accompanying you together is the closest person.
Everyone talks about the purpose of the pilgrimage. Many people expect miracles to escape from real life, so they take the pilgrimage to Santiago. For example, people nowadays choose to travel for reasons such as lovelorn, unemployment, excessive stress, broken family and so on. It's like a miracle will happen when you come back from a trip. There will be a new life, a new life. But travel is not for escaping reality. If your mentality has not changed, everything in reality will still exist. Tourism is to broaden our vision and mentality, more of awe of nature, to understand our insignificance as human beings.
On the way, you will meet people from various countries, exchange multiple languages, and exchange multiple cultures. This is the reason why many people love to travel. The protagonist in the film repeatedly stressed that please speak English. It reflects his arrogance from the side. But as he traveled longer, he began to learn various languages. This is the change of mentality, letting go of your arrogance and accepting a different culture. This is the meaning of tourism.
In the film, the protagonist asks a female owner of a hotel if you have been to this pilgrimage route? She replied: "You didn't have time when you were young, but now you are old." The protagonist just smiled and didn't speak. If she is older, the protagonist is definitely much older than her, but now she is walking on the road. The local female boss did not. How many people is this situation? In fact, if you want to do something, the action is, all you have to do is talk. Please don't say it again, we don't have money and time when we are young, so we don't travel. When he got old, he said he was too old to walk. It's just limiting yourself.
The only thought on the way is to reach the destination. guide you forward. The mobile phone has no signal in the suburbs, and the real return to nature is to get rid of the annoying explosion information. The night is full of stars, not light disturbances.
Get in touch with nature and let yourself know more about yourself. Miracles are brought to you by yourself, only inner richness can bring out outer prosperity.
Honey, it's time for you to travel.
