Review of Into the Wild (2007) by Ryan W — 30 Nov 2018
This is a movie that will definitely split viewers. I for one, am part of the camp that adores this movie. I seem to find that harsh critics of this movie focus on the wrong things. This is not a movie about logic, this is goes so much deeper than that.
This movie, if viewed through the appropriate lens, should make you think, and think hard. This movie will change the way you view certain aspects of life (again, assuming you watch with the right attitude).
If you have gripes with this guy's life and choices then you should deal with that separately from judging this movie as a film itself. As a movie, this did all the right things. It sent me on an emotional rollercoaster, it raised questions about society, its cinematography was gorgeous, and it evokes a feeling of freedom in the viewer.
I have never felt this way while watching any other movie. I suggest you watch this movie not through the eyes of a critic looking for things to hate, but as a viewer vulnerable to the messages the movie has to offer.
