Great movie about the meaning of life (2008-04-15)

Into the Wild follows the real-life story of an early-20's recent grad who gives up his middle-class life, his car and all his money and sets off on a hitchiker journey through America, finally settling in Alaska. This movie really struck a chord with me on an emotional level, I've also often thought of eschewing all material things before, realizing it can never be the true source of happiness. But as the main character tragically realizes, neither is loneliness and isolation. Great movie with a powerful, haunting music score by Eddie Vedder.

Well told story. Great soundtrack. Powerful acting. (2007-12-24)

Penn does a lovingly beautiful job in retelling Chris' story. The research by both author and film maker must have been difficult. Superb casting. But don't misunderstand our 'hero'. Hubris has spoiled many. Chris was certainly an angry, self-centered fellow, and hurt, but what good did his journey do? (Perhaps as another reminder for us.) It is only when he is facing death that his vision is clear. Is this what Tolstoy and other writers who Chris admired meant? He was a rebel, but what was his cause? Still, we certainly feel for him, and those lives he touched.

Poignant Movie deserving an Oscar! (2007-12-10)

I watched this movie in the theatre recently. It's a poignant movie about a young carefree man embarking on a journey. The acting and the scenery are superb! Director Sean Penn deserves an oscar as does the movie!I hope the movie makes people with similar aspirations to think carefully and do alot of research before heading out into the wild.
