Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2016)

Based on an affecting true story 'Into the Wild' introduces us to the live of the shining academically young man Chris McCandless (Emile Hirsch) who gives all his savings (24,000$) for charity, abandons everything, even his beloved sister, and embarks on an adventure that will change every aspect of his live. An adventure for the soul, during which he would find who he truly is.
Sean Penn's 4th movie as a director (and his best one) starts with unfolding the live of Chris McCandless, who had just graduated from college and would go to a prestigious university to finish his studies. Alas he does not want that. All he wants is to be free, away from everyone, alone with himself, out into the wild nature. He wants to run away from the memories of his painful childhood, in which he had not have many good moments, caused by his parents' constant quarrels and fights. All he had by his side was his sister Carine McCandless, played by Jena Malone who is also the Aditional Narrator of the movie.
By going out into the wilderness, Chris would experience some heart-stirring moments that would leave us in tears. Chris' will and courage to abandon all his possessions, even his money is worthy to be revered. His opinion is that relationships are not a necessity and that people could be happier even without them. His big dream is to go to Alaska, a land, which he dreams of every day and in which he would find what live and love really are.
