Into the Wild

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago at Jun 19 2:33
“I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.” Into the Wild kept me engrossed and in complete awe for its entire length. It has proven to be perfect through my eyes, and I film that I will surely treasure and admire for years to come. With a potent and gripping story, incredibly beautiful and stunning scenery, and full of mesmeric and moving performances, this film is one that certainly can’t be overlooked. Based on the bestselling novel, Into the Wild tells the poignant and riveting story of Chris McCandless’ life and the extraordin...Read more

Captivating...

"The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences." Sean Penn's beautiful film Into the Wild is yet another masterpiece of 2007 that divides the blockbuster/action lovers from those who seek magnificent filmmaking. Into the Wild is a gorgeous production affluent in poignant messages about life. The 140-minute film is exquisitely paced and carried by not only the performances but elegant shots that depict beautiful pictures of nature. The film is based on a best-selling novel by Jon Krakauer that tells the tragic tale of a young man who escapes the banalities of life, leaves his middle-class family and explores the world. Christopher McCandless (Hirsch) graduates from university with fantastic grades. His marks will open up endless opportunities for jobs and careers for his im...Read more

There isn't much to say on a movie like this. I haven't read the book so I can't say if the movie did it justice but I hope it has.
It goes on in a pretty steady pace and has meaning in it's own way but it's not until the last 15-20 minutes that it has a true impact and makes it a beautiful film.
Then there is the soundtrack that matched it perfectly.

Ultimate road trip

Posted : 2 years ago at Oct 24 1:02
This was a very well made movie by Sean Penn. It blended the location in Alaska well with the road trip that led McCandless to his bus. Hirsch really captures the spirit of the character and the idea behind a true road trip. I went on a 10,000 mile road trip through the western states, Canada, and Alaska this year so I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. I love the intimacy you get when you travel on the road. You meet a lot of interesting people and get to see sights that you will never forget. I think that Penn was able to capture the spirit of a true road with McCandless. He wanted to reach that ultimate goal of getting to Alaska. And believe me, it is a trip that is well worth taking. The cinemaphotography was beautifully done in the movie and is worth watchin...Read more
