So which character are you identifying with most?
But you WILL go again, and I wish you a Buen Camino!I would be "Jack" because I have "Camino Block"I was planning on going again this year, but now it seem like I will not be able to go until 2018 Oh well, something to look forward to
Yeah, that's what I didn't have in common with him either, his speed and constant forward motion. I was and still am more of a stutter walking snail.I'm Galinda with a 'Ga".....jk
I will be walking in honor of and hopefully "with" my late son. We were supposed to do it together. Otherwise I have nothing in Common with Tom as I will have to go very slow and with short distances and am pretty social by nature.
Why don't you walk as yourself? We will never be someone else. Even though the camino last year changed into a requiem for my wife, it was my body and it was my mind executing this requiem. Not someone else.
Bom caminho!
I know. But even then.The OP wasn't really talking about assuming a different persona, she was referring to a fictional character being a metaphor.
Yeah, I see your point. I just don't see the point as applicable to the intention and fun that the OP was attempting to engage in.I know. But even then.
My late husband and I joked about wearing Team Joost shirts on what was to be our Camino. But now that it is just me doing this I have to wait till done to see what role I am. Guiltily I admit to wanting to be Toto.Well there hasn't been a thread about "The Way" specifically for a while, so I'll start one.
It was written to mimic "The Wizard of OZ", Santiago being the Emerald City, and of course we Follow the Yellow ...arrows.
I was Tom (Dorothy) on my first Camino, walking with my little sister's ashes, alone and in grief. She was the one who said I could walk it, I never believed it until I had finished.
Now in August I walk again, and just for a change I will be Joost(Cowardly Lion) walking from meal to delicious meal, trying to lose all these extra pounds. It's my granddaughter's wedding I am going to, and I can't fit into my dress. Perhaps like Joost I will just buy a new outfit and be content with who I am.
So which character are you identifying with most?
Love this reply!I'd like to see myself as a mix of Tom's enlightened self, Joost's heart and Jack's wit... However my wife says I'm 100% El Ramón.
Or Peregrina in the Caribina.Now, I am a Peregrina in the Caribbean.
I guess I feel more like Daniel but I survived. I want to see the world one step at a time. Pretty excited after doing the Camino France's last year and bringing home all the stories, my wife has surprised me and has decided she would like to do the Camino Portuguese this year! All booked and ready to go.
It was Martin Sheen's debut role too.P.S. Sheen and Malick are old friends. Sheen was in Malick's first film 'Badlands' in 1973. Malick studied philosophy at Harvard and Oxford.
Here is a small excerpt from the webpage http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/martin-sheen-and-emilio-estevez-talk-about-the-wayWell there hasn't been a thread about "The Way" specifically for a while, so I'll start one.

Sheen had a heart attack early on while filming 'Apocalypse Now'. Harvey Keitel originally had Sheen's role but he walked out because he thought the project was insane.It was Martin Sheen's debut role too.
Can you imagine a Malick movie with a Camino theme? That would be something.
And incidentally, Sheen credits Malick with being the catalyst in straightening him out when he had sunk into his Charlie Sheen phase after "Apocalypse Now".
So following this timeline correctly, we should be in store for a Malick movie that combines the Camino with Apocalypse Now.Sheen had a heart attack early on while filming 'Apocalypse Now'. Harvey Keitel originally had Sheen's role but he walked out because he thought the project was insane.

nice one! thank you!Or Peregrina in the Caribina.

Jack was a major pain in the butt!I'd like to see myself as a mix of Tom's enlightened self, Joost's heart and Jack's wit... However my wife says I'm 100% El Ramón.
You forgot to mention that Jack was selfish, a bore and arrogant.Well, even after the wise and admonishing words in this thread about just being the person one is without the encumbrance of identifying with a fictional character, I'm going with Jack. He's crazy(ish). Check. He's a bit daft about a lot of things. Check. He's struggling to find his creative side. Check. He needs to idle down. Check. He wants (is told) to be honest about the story of which he is a part. Check. But mostly it's the being crazy(ish) part I identify with.
Jack was a major pain in the butt!
I rewind the tape at that scene. Several times. And make wolf calls.I wonder if I will encounter that guy with the red bikini underpants hanging up his laundry?
ROTFLOL!!!!!!I rewind the tape at that scene. Several times. And make wolf calls.
