an emotional knock-out!

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2007)

A movie that carries so much weight and delivers a climatic chaotic ending to the horrible death of Christopher McCandless. Based on a true story about a young man who decides to leave everything behind to discover himself and the lives he encounters as he goes north to Alaska. Sean Penn directs his finest film to date. The look of the film is absolutely beautiful. Think Hal Ashby directing a Jack London novel. Eddie Vedders voice echoes through the entire score which adds an emotional flair. This movie may be a snooze fest to some but if you can take what the movie gives. You can come out as a better person or maybe look at the world in a better light.
