On the
last day of national holiday Chu-seok, I saw the movie ‘I’m Off Then’ about the pilgrim’s road in Santiago, feeling sad to
end of the holiday. When I became 4th graders, I was having a tough
time deciding on my career. So, I need to get some rest and find something to
heal my tired mind such as the movie like that. This movie came from the
best-selling novel in worldwide, and then was published in Germany in 2015. The
story is that after the popular comedia, in best year fainted from overwork, he
walk along the pilgrim’s road in Santiago to find his lost meaning of life. Santiago
is a very important element in the movie, I’m
Off Then’, in terms of the effects on both the process of this narrative and
theme.
Firstly, the pilgrim’s route in Santiago plays a crucial role in the
process of the narrative. This movie moves beyond the storyline of journey that
a men walk along to the pilgrim’s road. This genre is called to ‘Road Movie’.
In this genre, it is the main storyline that the main character experiences so
many things during his journey. This movie especially focuses on a change of
the hero from the entrance of the road to destination. Walking the way, at
first, the main character, Happe, cannot adjust life of the pilgrim’s road. He
dislikes getting along with other pilgrims and then may feel so lonely. Moreover
he sometimes lost his object to find who I am. However, walking through this
road, he meets peoples who give a lesson to him and develop gradually. At this
point, he keeps writing a daily lesson every day. And his record through the
road also makes an important role in the narrative, give a lesson to the
audiences, too.
Secondly,
Santiago efficiently suggests the theme of this movie. The pilgrim’s route in
Santiago eventually is the journey for finding not only enlightenment but also
real me. It relates to the theme. In this movie, the hero’s name, Hape, is an
assumed name for comedian. Hans is real name. In other words, Hans walks along
this road to find himself who have overshadowed by the false name – Hape. People
who walk this road spend most of time to walk alone. So does he. Because there
are no people who have a talk with him, he for the first time can listen to his
heart. Finally, he finds real himself and change from the men who live as not
real himself but a comedian to the men who actively find to real himself. For
us as well as the charaters in this movie, this road gives a chance to listen
to our heart, walking along the road alone.
In conclusion, the pilgrim’s road has a key setting in the journey
of the men who want to find himself in spite of both the narrative and theme.
Lastly, there was a sign in entrance of the road – “Do you know who you are?”
If you want to know the answer about the question, you would walk along the
pilgrim’s road in Santiago like Hape.
