The adventure of a lifetime

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2008)

In my view,one of the best films of the year,Into the Wild is so good and dramatic that it should get a couple of Academy Award nominations.Emile Hirsch stars as Christopher McCandless who is a recent graduate at Emory University but decides to give up his possible future career for exploring Alaska without money.Because Emile Hirsch put a lot into this film such as losing more than twenty pounds and all,I think that he should be nominated at least for an Academy Award for Best Actor as he put in just as much,if not more work than most other potential candidates.Academy Award winners Marcia Gay Harden and William Hurt provide good supporting roles as well as Academy Award nominee Catherine Keener and in a way,Vince Vaughn.Besides an Oscar nomination for Emile Hirsch,Into the Wild should also be nominated for Best Picture,Best Director-Sean Penn and Best Writing.Bravo!
