Very simple, watch the movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2013)

I remember seeing this movie in school, and I clearly remember the moment where Eddie Vedder's song 'Long Nights' enter the first scene of the movie and we get to see beautiful nature and landscapes, mountains, rivers, trees as the song goes on.
This is my favorite movie. I was in love the second I saw it, and I've seen it several times after wards. Emile Hirsch is incredible good in this movie, and is both charming and interesting. Sean Penn has done very well with the casting, and directing. But what captured me most is the message of the movie, the simplicity of life that we've lost. Simplicity is so beautiful. So real. It is sad to see the world being so greedy and focused on having things. Materialism. McCandless seeks the truth and purpose of life throughout the journey. And I believe he found something greater than he expected. It was an eye-opener, for me, to understand what I really need in life, and what I can perfectly live without. What is important, what to worry about and these real things. That gives life meaning. The truth. Simple.
I could go on about this, but all I can really say is... watch the movie.
