与他们命运紧密相连的另一端,美国国内情况迥然不。在加利福尼亚,苦恼的Dr. Stephen Malley试图以Arian和Ernest参战的事情为例,说服自己的学生Todd(安德鲁·加菲尔德 Andrew Garfield 饰)不要放弃政治学习,但Todd全然反感Dr. Stephen Malley的激进想法。而在千里之外的华盛顿,总统候选人、参议员Senator Jasper Irving(汤姆·克鲁斯 Tom Cruise 饰)发现自己正卷入一场政治密谋,他准备向电视台记者Janine Roth(梅丽尔·斯特里普 Meryl Streep 饰)透露有关阿富汗战争的惊人内幕,此番举动很可能直接影响到正在前线作战的Arian和Ernest的命运。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
