Tell the story of a young man who is absolutely spiritually alive.

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2010)

A college graduate (Emile Hirsch) turned rootless drifter embarks on a peripatetic journey across America that ultimately finds him alone in Alaska.
Into The Wild is a poignant, episodic portrait of real-life drop-out that is perhaps too taken with its subject; for the film to work one has to find him fascinating, rather than merely foolish and narcissistic. The film appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007. The songs on the soundtrack were performed by Eddie Vedder, guitarist and lead singer of Pearl Jam, and Jerry Hannan. Vedder won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for the song "Guaranteed".
