Good Movie well Directed, though we should know more....

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2007)

we need to know more... about our lead Christopher McCandless played by (Emile Hirsch) we know he is troubled we just get bits a pieces of what the trouble is through the journey. I felt we needed to know more of his motivation from the start. I might be a little bias as I did a 3000-mile walk across country in 4-months. I like how they show the humanistic side of everyone, from the sister to the people who helped him along the way. The people along the journey make it so very real. Though his self-discovery goes bad from being unprepared for the simplest of things, very sad. I like that I could relate to so many of the situations the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California was even part of my route across the country. I remember a sheriff pulling up to me and asking what I was doing out here, (he never even got out of the car) when I told him I walking across the country he said "you do know this is a desert". Over all a very good movie about a young man's adventure that is sad and tragic.
