Excellent but underrated film
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
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.
This movie is very enjoyable. It was sad but at the same time, if you feel that there is a journey of life that you should take, you should go for it and this movie, takes you on an interesting journey, but it definitely tugs at the emotions, the heart..
Just finished the movie. i don't need to resummarize but love it or hate it this film is like no other. it will change your perspective on life. i know that's a bold statement and i did see some shortcomings but you should not deprive yourself of this. it's not boring it's not over philosophical if you are on the fence just press play you will not regret watching this.
First off, If you are 20+y.o. and haven't watched this movie,STOP.Don't read this review,just WATCH THE MOVIE.This movie is what I call the MASTERPIECE, and anyone who hates it knows nothing!!! Simply left me speechless and overwhelmed.
