Enlightening

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2009)

I read the book quickly and with gusto in fact I've read it 3 or 4 times now. Yet when I heard there was to be a movie I was a bit skeptical. I was afraid that parts of Chris's life would be altered from the story or over all skipped. Yet when I saw the movie when it came out I was shocked in more way than one. Nothing seemed to be left out about Chris or the people he touched. The acting was amazing and I felt like the story was being told only to me. Also Eddie Vedders music was perfect. I heard the music he wrote for the movie and I instantly rushed to buy the CD afterward. Normally when I buy a DVD it will rot on the shelf for months before I watch it again. Yet Into The Wild is one that I take off the shelf often and watch. My copy of the book has gone on trips with me where ever I go. Every time I read the book or watch the movie I learn some new lesson or see something else in a new light. It has enlightened me.
