IMDB





Synopses: A look at how the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud gives birth to psychoanalysis.

Opinion: This is the kind of movies that don't think about the money it's going to make in the box office, it cultural movie with amazing actors such as Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortiense and the beatiful Keira Knightley.
Personally I wasn't able to watch the movie until it's end but if you are a fan of these kind of movies you should defenetly watch it.
The movie tells us the story of a known psycholygist that gives birth to psychoanalysis.

The Way (2011)

The Way (2011)





IMDB






Synopses: "The Way" is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking the Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his "California Bubble Life". Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey. On his journey, Tom meets other pilgrims from around the world, each with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives: a Dutchman (Yorick van Wageningen)...

Opinion: Amazing movie about the platonic love between a father and his son. The entire moves makes you feel what the actor Martin Sheen is feeling the loss of his son which is his real son, very good coincidence that way he can play his part simply by thinking that he has lost his real son.
I'm going to be honest with you I really became emotional by watching this movie and I hope you feel the same.
