The Way

The Way, a film by Emilio Estevez, tells the story of a father's love for his son and the splendor of the Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of St. James, a route taken by Catholic pilgrims to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The character Thomas Avery, played by Martin Sheen, makes a hasty trip to France following the unexpected loss of his son, who was dying while doing the Camino de Santiago. His first plan was to just find his son's body, but out of grief and respect for him, Avery decided to walk the Camino de Santiago in his place. Along the trip, he meets a number of other people looking for some form of self-healing. This is the way to go if you're seeking a movie that will touch your heart and motivate you to embark on your own private, spiritual journey.

Into the Wild

Christopher McCandless, the man who oh-so-romantically burned the last of his money, abandoned his car in the desert, and hitchhiked all the way to Alaska to spend the rest of his days in the wilderness like his heroes, Thoreau and Tolstoy, is the only person on Earth who truly understands wanderlust. No one can dispute McCandless' spirit and bravery as a human being to seek a destiny distant from the road less traveled, despite the fact that others may regard him as a fool for his deeds. The movie Into the Wild, which is based on the book by Jon Krakauer, recounts McCandless' life from the time of his graduation until his final days in the Alaskan tundra. Into the Wild will allow you to flee from the world and all of its problems if you ever feel the need to.
