由西班牙导演伊格尼斯(Álex de la Iglesia)所执导的《球神梅西》自传电影，完整描述阿根廷足球天王巨星梅西(Lionel Messi)童年时期到成名，是一部半纪录半剧情片，片中访问了包含梅西的朋友、队友、教练、足球界明星球员等，并在罗萨里奥、布宜诺斯艾利斯、巴塞隆纳等三地取景。 「我们知道他在场上宛如天才，我们也想知道他在场下是什么样的人。」 梅西的童年采用剧情片模式「重现」，剧本由前阿根廷国家队球员瓦达纳（Jorge Valdano）撰写，为求真实性，海选找来长相神似梅西的9岁伊拿斯奥( Juan Ignacio Martinez)担纲，演出梅西在童年患下荷尔蒙缺乏症，身高无法长高，还一度威胁到性命的过程。全片带着观众抽丝剥茧，探寻引领阿根廷队在2014年争夺世界杯足球冠军的他，是天生球星还是后天成材？这一路又是如何在最终缔造出球坛传奇。

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.
