"The Way," written and directed by Emilio Estevez and starring Martin Sheen, was a wonderful way to celebrate the closing of one year and the beginning of another, because "The Way" is a moving and inspirational story of endings and new beginnings.
Tom (Martin Sheen), a father, loses his only son Daniel (Emilio Estevez), a son who turned away from his doctorate to experience life first-hand. Going to collect his son's remains in the French Pyrenees, Tom discovers Daniel was on a spiritual pilgrimage to the church of Santiago de Compostela, where many think the relics of St. James the Apostle are buried. Tom makes the impulsive decision to have Daniel cremated so he can continue Daniel's journey with his son's ashes.
Although Catholic in much of its story line (Sheen and Estevez both come from Catholic backgrounds), "The Way" transcends Catholicism in its depiction of a spiritual journey of healing and discovery and is a family-friendly film that should appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike.
