Into the Wild - Trailer
It was a movie. Of course we didn't get it and I've never seen it. Because the only thing less remote than this shit hole I live in, is the wilds where Chris died trying to escape his family. His exact words were "I am going to distance myself from them and get those idiots out of my life forever." He had to die to do it.

well i haven't entered the wilds...i just moved to ohio...moving to another state could help...but i know you wouldn't move away from lissa...
have you tried netflix? i've been with them 7 years and have been pleased...$18.31 a month (that includes tax) for 3 at a time, unlimited....i average 15 or so a month...i watch a lot of documentaries and tv shows from the 50s-70s...
It's all right. Penn leaves out certain pertinent details. Like the fact that Supertramp was taking pictures the whole way and planned to get rich writing a book about his "spiritual quest." K-Stew rocks of course.
I love to watch programs and read books about folks who just bug-out on society. but I would be scared it. I'd be afrais I'd get hurt or a large predator would get me or on and on and on....I will always be an armchair adventurer...
I do admire folks who have the grit to take it on though. It's just a shame the poor fellow died.
Holy crap...
"McCandless may simply have starved to death, a theory backed by the fact that McCandless's body weighed an estimated 67 pounds (30 kg) at the time he was found."
geeezzz poor guy....
I don't know why you'd have a problem with that crabbie, as a writer. Thoreau did it, as well as others. I still think they kid wanted away from his parents and their control.
The Academy showed just how out of touch they were by nominating this quite superb film in only two catagories, neither of which were biggies like Best Picture or Best Actor for Emile Hirsch.
And it lost the two they did grudgingly nominate it for. The very last shot of the film is at once heart-breaking and visually stunning and has remained with me ever since I saw it.
Oh, and there wasn't even a nomination for the breath-taking cinematography either.
A crying shame.
you know, you can physically move yourself away, like i did, but until you break the MENTAL chains, no amount of distance will help you...i know that first hand...perhaps others could put distance and have that break the mental chains, but i couldn't....
the main chains have been broke, but i'll always have small rusted ones in my head....
I loved the book. Movie sucked.
Does netflix do porn? If so sign me up!
This is a cute & talented kid. He was also in Lords of Dogtown with Heath Ledger. Insanely good flick. True story as well. This movie was weird to me. He went alone way out there, on purpose. I think when he found the bus he figured he would be safe until spring. I thought he froze to death in there. I guess I didnt pay attn about any seeds. My best friend, Tracy moved herself to Alaska last year. She loves it there. I know she is running away from herself tho. Lots of ppl move to AK to disappear. It works. It's crazy, but it does work. I might do that! If I didnt hate the cold so much.
Loved this movie. Great sound track too!
"the main chains have been broke, but i'll always have small rusted ones in my head...."
Food for thought.
