Loved the movie for a few great lessons of life it presented to us !!

Rating: 9/10 (12 September 2014)

I really liked the movie, not for the way the protagonist (Chris McCandless) lived his life but for the great lessons presented to us during the course of the movie. There might be different ways for different people to live their lives but movie showed what everyone should be looking for in their lives. I would like to mention a few lessons which I personally liked in the movie:
1. Set yourself free to explore what the soul inside us wants to and not just succumb to a life of security.
When Chirs McCandless says: ".. so many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
Taken from song Society by Eddie Vedder from the movie: "It's a mystery to me .. We have a greed with which we have agreed And you think you have to want more than you need Until you have it all you won't be free."
2. Never let your mistakes be a reason to be not able to do better in future. Instead we should use the learning from the mistakes to do much better.
Taken from Song Rise by Eddie Vedder: "Gonna rise up Turning mistakes into gold"
As for the way Chris McCandless lived his life, I just have to say this was the way he wanted to live. A different person might have done different things in the same situation but the heart of the movie lied in its teachings which I can sum up as "One should learn, struggle, pursue his dreams during his life and do whatever it takes to find and fulfill the purpose of his life."
