You have to be dumb to commit suicide like this

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2008)

The movie itself deserves no less than a 7 but the theme and the portrayal of Chris bothered me...this movie is making a coward into a hero...just because Chris has a bad childhood doesn't mean that everyone who has a bad childhood goes into the wild or commits suicide...he was not even dimwitted, he was an A student, and it enrages me to see someone spoiling their life like this..
and Sean Penn is giving the wrong message to his viewers...youth all around the world are getting a bad example in the form of Chris...if you cant face your problems like a man then go kill yourself..this is an utterly pathetic approach to life.....
