The Way (2011)

9.2/10I feel like this movie was the best movie in those movies that I watched these days. I watched it in Film class for mid-final but I really think that it was better than the movies that I've chose to watch myself. This movie was very touching and very well plotted. I gave 9.2 because I think that this movie was well made.The story was really alike my relationship with my dad. My dad always told me that what I wanted to do was stupid. He wanted me to go do what he wanted me to do. He didn't really care about what I wanted to do. However in the movie, even though Tom didn't care about Daniel's dream, he decides to finish Daniel's dream. I guess the story was more touching because I could agree with the situation Daniel was at.The acting was very nice. The facial expressions of the actors were believable and it showed me what the actor was feeling. I think as a actor view, this movie has great actors. In story view, I feel like the story is amazing. It has really sad story but the ending was so nice. It was easy to agree and feel what the actors were feeling. Because of my problem with my dad, the connection made me concentrate on the movie really well.I have no doubt that this is one of my best movies that I love. Mostly because while I was watching, I wished my dad was like the dad in the movie. This touched my heart so much that I thought, even dad won't like it, do what you like. Nothing is impossible, I feel like this was the lesson this movie gave me. I really loved this movie and if I can, I would love to watch it with my dad.

It always amazes me when a film that seems to have a commitment to quality and message, fails at something so important as subtitles for the hard of hearing. Albeit a supposedly small faction of the movie-going community, people who need captions are usually making an effort when they choose to watch a film. There does not seem to be any way to contact The Way makers, so i hope this comment somehow reaches them.Having said the above, it behooves me to add that the film definitely makes me want to go trekking in Spain. That's the great visual part. There are unbelievable vistas that add to the spiritual dimension, and give it a quality of mysticism that goes beyond a particular faith. It reaches for joy through the sadness of a story about loss, and puts the individual in a situation where being with others and respecting them is more important than just being an isolated individual.

When the Americans make a film about the Europe they made product interesting only to Americans. The story is beautiful and the landscapes through which the actors are going unforgettable. But scenario is a weak point. Many platitudes and clichés. Characters from Europe are displayed with American models of behavior. Music is unadapted, especially modern music. The only song that was adapted to the movie scene is Spanish song on Gypsy celebration. The scene at the end when the main characters come to the cathedral is poor. There is take away the natural tone and inserted ambient music. The acting is good. But stereotypes are ruin the movie. This film should have to make some Spanish or French director.

This is one of those phenomenal movies that you have a hard time simply calling it a "movie". It is a masterpiece of human emotion and a journey into the spirit of humanity. I think most will finish this movie in one way, with a pad in your hand trying to figure out if you too can go and find your way.....
