Chris's life (in his own words) makes one realize that, "Happiness is only real when shared". The movie also has some pretty good dialogues. The acting and the cinematography were also great. But what that kid (Chris McCandless) did was a little bit stupid. He threw away his life unnecessarily. Instead of facing his problems, he ran away and he didn't even write a single letter to his sister who loved him. In the end, it was too late when he had learnt his lesson and he had to pay a high price for his actions. Nevertheless, a great story! Watch it when you have nothing else to do...........
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.
Slow, and laughably bad. Selfish bloke who was very rude to his family who loved him. I mean a lot of people want to travel and see the world...find themselves but rarely do they eat the wrong plants.
Well, I've been reading the reviews and, honestly, I do not understand how can someone not like this film. Since the beginning it shows you both the effort and the meaning of the "trip" of this youngster who calls himself Alexander Supertramp. It is not boring at all despite it's 2 hours and almost a half. It is a real beauty... And we cannot forget that it is based on real events, which even makes you feel more empathic with the main character... Recommended a 100%
