Good start, but then it gets ruined
Absolutely brilliant
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
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.
Everyone must watch this movie. This movie change my life.
An extraordinary person who inspires us to think. This movie is a true gem. A young man had the vision and the guts to seek for freedom, for truth, for purity, for beauty. A very bright young man who wanted to undo himself from the lies around him. Wanting to be a balanced, independant person, selfless, not chained to a job or money. Happy with nothing. As he says himself: to kill the false bing within. This extraordinary young man lived a great adventure, since he left home. Sean Penn has made a fantastic movie / almost a documentury and Emile Hirsh probably played the greatest part in his life (I hope he will play bigger and better, but people remember him now, 10 years later, as the guy from into the Wild). This is a must see movie. It opened my eyes. It shows where the real friendship and beauty lie. I rated this movie a 10. This is my favorite, so I am biased.
