Review of Into the Wild (2007) by Buggy B — 07 Jan 2014
This is a very thought provoking movie that makes me feel something different each time I see it. Haven't we all wanted to ditch our lives and responsibilities at some point and just go wander around? But this is also so much more. Emile Hirsh does an amazing job here which often requires him to act without dialogue just showing his fascination, hurt or frustration through his eyes. Eddie Vedder's original soundtrack is awesome, good scenery, Hal Holbrook. Ultimately this is heartbreaking and frustrating and beautiful.10.13 (2).
"Fact based movie, directed by Sean Penn, featuring (Emile Hirshe) as Chris McCandless, a top student and athlete who upon graduation from Emory University, abandoned his life of luxury and privilege and all his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, seeking adventure and shunning society on his quest to live off the land in Alaska. Along the way Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life.".
