One of the greatest movies ever about life

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2007)

Supertramp - are you Jesus? Into the Wild is based on Jon Krakauer's biography about Chris "Supertramp" McCandless - a well-educated young man who dropped-out of society to go on a voyage of self-discovery around America circa. 1990. The film plays like a road movie and Chris encounters a wonderful mix of characters on the way, while making observations of rare profundity about the meaning of life. Beautifully shot, and full of wonderful epiphanies. Go see this on the big screen as soon as possible. To everyone involved: BRAVO! Sean Penn - all is forgiven! post script - Jon Krakauer's previous book, Into Thin Air, is also brilliant.
