I was fortunate to receive a copy of the film recently. It has not been released in the US yet. I found it endearing, but as Annie stated, there was no mention of blisters or sore feet. If not for my sore, blistery feet, I would say the entire experience of walking from SJPD to SDC was absolutely incredible!! Did you notice that Martin Sheen's character always had perfect hair and nice clothes? As for jeans, well I walked with a fellow from LA for about three days, who wore jeans his entire journey! Ugh! I don't know how he did it? I did enjoy watching my friend burn his jeans at Finnesterre though. The film did a good job of capturing the personal relationships that develop along the Caminio. I met some "strange" folks, but nothing like "Senor Ramon" and I never slept outside. I also was fortunate to have never been a victim of theft, in fact, it wasn't even in my head that such a thing could happen. Who wants an old, stinky pack anyway? I had a friend watch it, who did not walk the Camino. She felt it was long, kept waiting to get to the end. She said, "When are they going to get to Santiago?" lol... I told her, "The joy, my friend, is in the journey."
