Like most Americans, my brother had never heard of the Camino before. After he agreed to go with me in principle, I wanted him to have a fuller idea of the Camino experience. I wanted that experience to come from someone other than me, because what do I know? I've never walked the Camino. So I asked him to watch an indie (if you can call Emilio Estevez "indie") film called The Way. Fortunately it is/was available for streaming on Netflix, so he agreed.
I think it's a great movie. It's definately a drama with some comedic moments. If you want all your movies to have lots of action, this isn't the film for you. One reviewer called it a "thinking man's movie". Having said all that, I recommend it:
After seeing the film, my brother is more psyched than ever to walk the Camino with me.
If I were in better health or at least knew what the outcome of my health was going to be, I would love to do this. There is no better freedom, nor are there many opportunities to stop and smell the roses. What a way to explore the world, discover new things about yourself, and only have to carry the weight of what is in your packs instead of the weights of life! Be safe!
