To me, this movie is perfection.

Better Late Then Never

A Major Disappointment

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Into the Wild is a tragic movie based on the tragic real life story of Christopher Mccandless. Chris was different and surely his foolhardy ways were directly responsible for his death, and yet you somehow feel for the guy. A part of you wishes he made out alive from the Alaskan tundra, from that yellow bus. The book on which this film is based, Jon Krakeur, is also a must read in my opinion. The lead Emile Hirsh is more than adequate and the director Sean Penn must be commended for not just deftly directing the film but realizing the need to tell this young lad's story. This is a great nature vs man feature film all the more hard hitting because it is true.

Maybe this is what the kid just did, but it was infuriating watching him burn his money THEN get a job for money. Made no sense, so it made me hate the kid.Every decision the character (or real person) made was flawed and I hated it. Could not root for him so it ruined my experience.Crafted well, just had no feeling for what was going on.

In this film, and "Into Thin Air", also from a book by the explorer and author John Krakauer, 2 different men, one very young, want to have an unforgettable experience; unfortunately, their hubris caused them to ignore the advice of those more experienced than they and so they did not take proper precautions; both the films and the books are interesting to watch and/or read;

The story seemed phenomenal, but after watching it, my thoughts became opposite.I couldn't understand the reason of his escaping. The attitude against his parents after learning the facts? The movie told as if after this realization, he decided to move away. He should talk to his parents and then act in the manner he wants. This behavior is childish and makes contradiction with his decision to take his responsibility.I admire that he is aware of the fact that he needs money to sustain his dream life.I want to ask to the propopents of the guy : Do you want to die because of eating harmful plant?We may create spare areas in our life to escape from the boring reality of life. But at the end, human is a social living creature. Happiness is real when shared as the film says in the final.
