Review of Into the Wild (2007) by Enrica C — 24 Jan 2012

This is a movie you'll either love or hate. There's no staning in-between point, that's it. I just love it, it's my #2 favorite movie of all time, it just stole my mind away the first time I saw it. "Into the Wild" sends a very strong message, one of the strongest I've ever had from a movie I've seen -- Alexander Supertramp was a great man, he tried to stick with society but coulnd't do it, so he just ended up taking a different path that led him to a tragic ending. I see that ending as a gift to everybody: that's a message, 'Happiness is only real when shared'. That's one of the most powerful, true thing I've ever heard in my entire life. It's something we don't think about, but it's true.

Emile Hirsch gave a great performance. Sean Penn wrote and directed a masterpiece and one of the best story ever told -- it will just stick with you if only you'll let it. Locations are great. Dialogues are magnificent. The soundtrack is unbelievable, Eddie Vedder could not have done a better job.

Just let it carry you away. You won't regret it if you're a free spirit seeking for some freedom away from society, you'll probably hate it if you're in love with this sick society of ours. That's totally up to you and who you are. Recommended. One of the best movie ever made.
