故事发生在1968年的南非,严格残酷的种族隔离制度让在那里生活着的两千五百万黑人面临着悲惨的命运。为了维护种族的权利,一部分黑人们奋起反抗,但等待着他们的结局不是驱逐出境就是被关押在罗宾岛监狱之中。
詹姆斯(约瑟夫·费因斯 Joseph Fiennes 饰)就出生在这样恶劣的局势之中,幸运的是,他是一位不折不扣的白人。从小大人们就向詹姆斯灌输着“黑人低人一等”的荒谬概念,成年之后,已然完全被洗脑的詹姆斯成为了罗宾岛监狱的一名看守,而他所看管的囚犯正是南非的民主斗士曼德拉(丹尼斯·海斯伯特 Dennis Haysbert 饰)。随着时间的推移,对黑人们越来越了解的詹姆斯开始对自己的所作所为产生了质疑——难道白人就真的可以这样理所当然的囚禁和侮辱自己的同胞吗?

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.
