It's a gripping tale of a young man who sees the world with different eyes and wishes to live outside society. He almost proved it to himself, that it could be done. Absolutely beautiful scenery thru-out! In the end, leaving you with an absolute feeling of loss! Definitely worth your time to go see!!!!!!!!

Benidorm- DITTO! Plus, Hal Holbrook gave the only meaningful perspective in the movie. And, if you want to live off the land, you practice first at a local state campground, not Alaska. He got what he deserved because he was spoiled, naive, and self-centered. This might have been a block-buster in the 60's, but today, Christopher McCandless would have been diagnosed with depression and be pounding down Zoloft.

I don't understand people's reaction to this film. First of all, Christopher is completely devoid of empathy for anyone other than himselft. He is self-indulgent and cruel. His so called voyage was nothing more than a boy running away from his awful parents. Nevermind we never find out why he is so angry at them. Yes, they fought. Yes, they conceived him out of wedlock. Does he think he's the only one in the world? I found this movie a waste of time. It did not teach me anything I didn't already know about spoiled, rich kids full of self pity. I felt no empathy for him. He was out to kill himself just because. There was no altruistic cause to his death. He died because he was an emotional cripple who didn't give a second thought to his sister and parents. They are the ones I truly feel sorry for. They didn't deserve what their son did to them.

The best book I ever read. I hope the movie lives up to my expectations. I am most positive that I met that parent of this young man at the "Rod and Reel" in Chesapeke Beach, Maryland!

I give this movie 4 stars! I would give it 1000 stars if I could. Into the Wild was a adventureous and feel good film. The movie couldn't of been anymore better! Emile Hisrich is a terrific actor and this movie has a great plot and you'll wanna see it over & over again. Into the Wild has kinda that forest gump feature to it and is worth watching. Trust me, you'll absolutley love this movie......

I did not know anything about the movie before I went. I really liked it and especially all of the wonderful people he met along his journey of life.

well.... i saw it and i thought it was great!!! Emile Hirsch is such a great actor! He deserved an Oscar so much! But i digress, his acting skills that he revealed in that movie, just showed that he is literally capable and up for any roll they throw at him! and for god's sake people, give him a break! you do realize that he did not have ANY stunt-double doin all the stuff he did. It was beautiful. The only thing that ticked me off, is that Christopher McCandless died for no reason. He swore tat he had soooooo many issues that he had to deal with.He had money, family, and so many open doors, and oppurtunites. He threw it all away...and for what? And dont give me that "oh...his mom and dad faught a lot bull !!!" Do you know how much i have to go thru on a daily basis in my life. i have so many problems to deal with in my life, but you dont see me goin to da wilderness to get away from it all. You cant always do stuff like dat. I mean i love when the dude FINALLY realizes that "happiness is only real when shared"... yea that was when he DIED!!! well anyways....maybe he was better off dying, because if he coulnt even handle a little argument goin on in his family, then he darn sure coulndnt handle the real world out there. Oh yeah, he said one thing that hurt him was knowing that his dad had another kid and that he was a non-wed child. oh coooommmme onnnn!! my mom had me, my brother, and my sister out of wedlock. And my sister and brother have different dads than me. And the dad of my brother already had kids and his kid has kids and they're 16 years old. And the dad of my sister has another kid too, and I've never met him in real life before, only through emails. So he just needed to sip it up and go on. Becasue God knows him dying in the flippin woods didnt make things better for his family.. Well to make my point he just threw his life away to find what he already had. Dont get me wrong, i'm not mad at Emile, I'm mad at the character he pla
