Excellent Movie ..... Nothing Wrong With The Movie BUT BUT

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2007)

BUT having said that i would like to tell you that there are different perspectives in which you can analyze the life of Christopher .....
You will be emotional and thrilled after watching it ..... The acting is top class ..... Emile Hirsch is really good ..... narration and picturasation is good too ... Its a joy ride ...
BUT BUT when you come out of the theater and think about it you may feel that it was a stupid story, Christopher's decisions were bad ... he was kinda narrow minded and arrogant .... but it depends on the way you see it ....
I found out three point of views of analyzing the life of Christopher ...
1) The character of Christopher is portrayed as a psychic boy who leaves his good life to go out into the wild and dies out there .... which is very insulting to the memory of late Christopher McCandless ... the director should have thought about it before creating a movie on his life .....
2) "HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED" ... this line touched my heart .. some people think they are happy when they are alone .... but that happiness is just an illusion .... take an example .. suppose you travel the world and see different places .... experience nature and all .... you will feel that you are happy at that moment .... but when you come back home to tell your friends and loved once what you experienced and when you show them the photos etc. and when you look back into the past to see what you had done and remember those moments , you feel happiest ...... that happiness is more than what you felt when you actually experienced things .... And if you die during the tour and never get a chance to share it with people, would you still feel happy? ...... will you be able to say in your dyeing moments "I was happy when i died "? ..... I don't think so .... At that time you will realize how stupid you were to leave everyone and stay alone ...... CHRISTOPHER REALIZED THIS WHEN HE WAS DYEING ..... HE REALIZED THAT THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS IN HIS LIFE WERE THE ONES HE SPENT WITH THOSE PEOPLE HE MET DURING HIS JOURNEY ....
3) why do we choose a career ..... to get a good job and hence good money .. Why we want money ... so that we can buy happiness .... whatever we do in our life is for buying happiness out of money .. for us and for our children .... The story tells you that money is not the only way to get happy ... there are numerous ways which don't require money .... different people have their own ideas of happiness .... you just have to decide which way to choose and reach out and grab it ... e.g : the character felt that he will be happy by living in the wild ALONE, not getting into relationships and bonds ... but his lifestyle didn't permit it ...... so he left everything ... changed his lifestyle and went out to do what he wanted to ... he did what his heart told him ...... I think this is the point of view which the director saw ...... its positive and certainly you will enjoy the movie more if you analyze it this way ......
a 9/10 for the movie cause i felt happy when i saw it .....
