The Way is a story about a man named Tom (Martin Sheen) who finds
out that his son Daniel died on the first day of an 800 mile
pilgrimage through France along the route called The Camino de
Santiago, otherwise known as The Way of St. James. Tom
journeys to France to recover his son's remains and while he is
there he has the inspiration to complete the 800 mile walk while
carrying his son's ashes. Along the way, Tom meets various people
making the trek for their own reasons. Four stars.
This movie ranks as "non-violent" because it has only seven violent
scenes and no violent climax. The violent scenes include: a
father's son is reported killed, there is the story of the mythical
death of Rolan, two people fight over a box of ashes, there is a
story about an aborted baby, a drunken man is taken away by the
police, a man is pushed down to the ground by the police and a boy
steals a man's backpack.
The previews are a rare non-violent treat. The previews
include a somewhat violent preview for Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and
non-violent previews for The Mighty Macs, Joyfull Noise, A Dangerous
Mind and The Artist.
