Comparing Movie with books

The book that I would like to compare with Brother were Art Thou is the The Alchemist. The Alchemist connects to the book because in both stories the people have to go through some kind of journey. For example, Santiago has to go through a journey to find his personal legend. Also Everette and other two guys have to go through a journey in order to go were they need to be. Another thing is that in Brother were art thou they find themselves with an oracle or profit that tells them that there is a treasure that they are going to find. And in The alchemist Santiago there are people like omen that tell him that there is a treasure that he must seek yet they never tell him what it is. These are some things that are similar between The Alchemist and Brother were Art Thou.
