Awesome! In the full sense of the word...

I saw this movie on a whim. Read about it here on IMDb and thought it looked OK. I went into the viewing with hardly any expectation. Man, was I in for a treat.
This is actually one of the best movies I have ever seen. It touched something deep inside me. I don't know if it is the mood of the film, the fantastic imagery, the beautiful music by Eddie Vedder (which I by the way have bought and been listening to over and over again for three weeks now) or what. It might have been that I am myself a "man of nature" and spend most of the summer and autumn out in the wilderness fishing and hunting. He kinda does what I have always wanted to do, just leave everything to go and stay in the wild.
The acting is great, the music is great, the visual is just amazing, the story is real and heartfelt. This movie is a real masterpiece and I would recommend this to anyone!
