Anyone who has lost someone close to him or her, and especially parents certainly understand Sheens’ character’s motivation for taking the trek. One may assume that for each of the characters’, the adventure is a spiritual journey, even though they give other reasons. For the most part, the characters are authentic. When referring to his life one character says, “I’m not sorry. It’s the life I chose.” Instead of being regretful and complaining about his past, he is honest and realistic.
It seems like more movies should be like THE WAY. The story is refreshing. This film is why I appreciate independent moviemaking.
THE WAY is in theatres now. For more information visit the official Web site at http://theway-themovie.com/.
