One of my favorite movies of all time is ''Into the wild'' directed by Sean Penn , adobted from Jon Krakwer's book based on the true story of Christopher Mccandless who, after graduating from Emory university in 1992 , abandoned his possessions , and gave his 24000 $saving account to charity and hichhacked to Alaska to live in the wildereness .
What I didn't like about this movie is :
1) the long duration :''Into the wild'' is 2h30 long, it was a bit slow in the beginning ,but not boring at all , It could be better if the director cut off some of the small stories of each character Chtistopher meets through his journey , sometimes it was definitly worth it , and sometimes it has no influence on the main character , so there was no need to mention them , but I guess that the director wanted to respect the structure of the initial story .
2) The unexpected ending :
I didn't like how the movie ends because I was expecting Chris to find happiness in the wilderness and meet people like him , share great moments with them and learn new things ... but life is much harder , since ate a poisened plant , falling sick as a result and slowly dying ; he continues to document his process of self-realization and imagines his family for one last time. Two weeks later his body was found by hunters... and the movie ends .
Apart of that , the movies was deep and instructive , it shows us that real happiness can only be found when shared with others .
