Watched a pilgrimage movie last night

[J Willhaus]

Not a Camino movie, but I enjoyed The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry last night. It is on our Amazon Prime account in the US. Maybe not for everyone, but we enjoyed it.

The main character goes on an impulsive walking pilgrimage across England to visit an old friend who is dying of cancer. He finds blisters and experiences the kindness of strangers as he works through some of his feelings regarding his son. Not the Camino, but a pilgrimage nonetheless.

I just realized I read the book 4-5 years ago. Good book will watch to see if the movie does the book justice. Thanks for sharing

My wife and I enjoyed "The Way" and it inspired us to plan to do the Camino when I retire. Unfortunately, she succumbed to a 16 yearlong fight with breast cancer before she could make it last year. (Of those 16 years most were in great physical shape). So next year in May I hope to enjoy a pilgrimage on the Frances, and a much-anticipated retirement, in the company of my wife. Not as we had hoped, but she will be accompanying me for the journey. Buen Camino

Harold Fry is brilliantly written and the book is much better than the movie. To me, it is the best description of pilgrimage.

I had a great big lump in my throat at the end of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. (I'm lying, I cried.) Smiled a lot during reading too. Great book.

Thank you for the movie suggestion. I just viewed the trailer, I know I'm going to need some tissues. Also, I want to thank you for another post you made last week about Ibex woolen leggings. I had never heard of them before. I ordered them and they're great.

Off the back of your post I have just watched it as well. Many Camino overtones. Oh my, what a wonderful film. Thank you for the recommendation.

I just bought the book this morning thanks to recommendations from the forum.

A great book - haven't seen the movie. If you like the first book, there is a second as well.

The movie is also available on Hoopla.

I'm glad you're doing what you both planned. Your wife will be with you every step of the Way and it's a beautiful way to celebrate your lives together. Buen Camino!

I liked the book, and my wife and I both enjoyed the movie several weeks ago. Definitely recommended!

Yeah that’s another one I’m waiting for. Hopefully it’ll be on a streaming service or available for rent on YouTube soon. I suspect they’re trying to maximize the cinema distribution first. I don’t see it making it to a cinema in Vancouver unfortunately.
