1. What are the names of the 4 main characters?- Tom, Sarah, Jack and Joost
2. Tom's son said to him before he died, You don't choose a life, you live one". What do you think this means?- It shows that once you make decisions on how to live your life, you will always live that same life, you don't get to change or to stop and turn around. The way we start our lives is how we live it off, we can't go back and change the past, is history.
3. What are the reasons given by the 4 main characters? Sarah for smoking, Joost to lose weight, Jack, to find something to write about, and Tom just to walk the route.
4. What are your reflections on the Movie about what it is saying regarding life, the spiritual life, or what life is all about? In other words, Spiritual reflection that arises from the movie thus far using at least one scene from the movie. It's all about how we live our lives, the decisions we make between good and bad. But there is one thing that can save us from our bad decisions and that is only us. Our life is to prove to God we have given him every time we got, and tried our best to finish the Missions that he has given to His Son. Just like Tom trying tho finish his son journey and to find out why he travel this route. Just like how when we look for the path that Christ has shown to us. We must act like Daniel, find hope through God till we die.
5. What are the real reasons each of the main characters is walking the Camino?- Sarah because of her abortion, Joost to find self dignity and to love himself the way he is, Jack is trying to get rid of his writer block, and Tom to finish the his son's journey on the Camino.
6. Do the main characters find healing or peace by the end? explain
Yes, They all found that they have to love the life they began off of. Sarah figured that her abortion was bad, but you can't just stop living because you killed a unborn baby. Live on find peace through God and continue doing the wills of God. Tom had a different experience, he felt his son will be restless if he didn't finish the mission, and when Tom finished he found out why his son chose to do this, he did this to earn a better understanding of why his son wanted to do this, and finally earned the reason. Joost finally over came his food addiction and began to understand if you can't love yourself, you cant love anyone else. Jack finally earned something that no other writers would get and that's earning the final word with words rather a view that can't be described at all.
7. What are your reflections? what did you learn or gain from the movie? spiritually, what connections can be made? All together this movies is inspiration to me, not only to find hope, but to also a sign of joy. This movie not only taught me about the Camino, but also that you cant live your life without loving yourself, the body that God has given you. In total God always to tells us to love ourselves as our enemies, and we must understand that everyone is our brothers and sisters and we must respect them as they were Jesus. I feel this movie is not only inspirational but spiritually connected.
8. The life we live is what we are doing right know, everything we do or have done can't not be changed or correct. No matter what we do wrong we must live on and continue. We live what God has given to us, but we make the decision between right and wrong. We follow a path rather than change every time.
Unlike the life we choose is like God gives us what we ask from him like perfect, grades, beauty, or something like that. Whatever we ask from God we get, that is the definition of choosing a path rather than following a path. The life we choose would be more perfect than the life we live.
Overall the whole point is God gives us a life and we follow what he says and do what is right or wrong, its our decision.
