Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2014)

The acting in this movie is really great. This is obviously an important element, but even more so in movies of this genre. The images were great and well directed. The story is simple but strong and based on a real life story and the movie also feels real, which is a great accomplishment.
I think many (young) people sometimes dream of leaving their, at times, boring and meaningless life behind and go for adventure. So I think in that regard most of us can identify with the main character. Personally I have though about this idea quite a lot, but in a different way than the main character who wants to flee society into the wild. I'd just start a new life in a different country rather than flee society, like most of us dreamers I think.
I found this movie depressing from the very beginning to the very end. The whole time I have this feeling that the main character is looking for something that does not exist. Every time he has a new "home" he suddenly moves on to accomplish his dream. The movie is very touching, made me feel empty but leaves a great message behind.
I definitely recommend this movie.
