A very interesting movie

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2008)

Sean Penn is having a good career as a director.His previous movies were not great or memorable but they were solid.But I think that,in Into the Wild,Penn made a step forward and he made the best movie of his career as a director so far.Into the Wild is not an excellent movie but I found it very interesting.The movie exposes very good messages and the structure of the movie is credible and natural.The performances are extraordinary.Emile Hirsch brings an excellent performance.He is very natural and credible on his role.Hal Holbrook also makes a great performance.Another good aspect from this movie is that,in spite of being long,it always kept me entertained.But,I found some fails on this movie.On some moments,Into the Wild is a little bit pretentious and self-indulgent and I think that takes out some credibility to the movie. Into the Wild is not a great movie but it's a very interesting one with important messages and excellent performances.I recommend it because I liked it pretty much.
