A Spiritual Journey

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2019)

This film takes you on a journey of McCandless. A smart youngman from a well off family who becomes disillusioned by the mess that hides under the covers of their priveleged life. He sheds himself of his trust fund, his car, Ivy league college and all the things nepotism offers as he goes searching for his own identity.
He was hailed as a leader and an above intelligent student. But when he peels the layers of the "priveleged" perspectives, just how much of that is true? Just what are the boundaries of his "priveleges" and would he make it without it? Just who is McCandless?
This film is a spiritual ride as he travels the heartlands of America coming accross people of all background. He begins to challenge his old self and come face to face with nature. The only thing better than the film may be the soundtrack by Eddie Vedder. The only thing better than that is the novel by Krakauer.
