truly an amazing film.

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2008)

Into the Wild is one amazing film. It captures such raw beauty of nature, but also that of love. As you're taken on the wild journey of Chris's life, you get a feel of what's truly important in yours. This film really feels, and almost anyone can relate to the problems in this film. Family troubles, love, lost, crime, and everything in between. Although the ending is tragic, you don't get that feel. You come to understand that this amazing kid did what he wanted to in life, and didn't need money, or any other material items to do what he wanted. He came across people that he changed, and changed him. The 2 hippies he meets, in my opinion, are like the parents that he wished he had. They taught him what's really important in life, and that's happiness. The old man, was another person who made a change in his life. He loved him like a son, a grandson, and a friend. He taught the old man to live. And the old man taught him to forgive.
This film is unlike many others. The actors and actresses really deliver, and in every second of this movie you can't turn away. Sean Penn made a true work of art, and Emile Hirsch is amazing and is the future of Hollywood and I cannot be more excited.
This is a great movie that will really show you what's important, and has worked its way into my heart.
