With Self-Righteousness into the Grave

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2017)

The movie is well shot, got some nice nature in it, and well, some claim this guy to be a hero, but for me he (or better, the character in the movie) is just a self-righteous prick, one of those guys who know everything better, have the right intentions and if one does not comply and such a guy is in power he will burn you as a witch.
Anyway, this guy died a silly death, because, well, he was even too "intelligent" to learn something basic about nature - what kind of plants you may eat and what kind you better leave alone. Na, if you got the right intention you may eat everything. But let's face it, nature got one basic rule: survival of the fittest. The guy didn't stand the test - I am not claiming that I would be ready for living out in the wild, but at least I know my limits and if I would dare such an experiment/experience I would do some (lots of) preparation. A hero!? No. Imho more a candidate in need of professional mental health care - living in the wild is harsh, unforgiving and laborious, not the romantic bulls++t this guy got somehow in his mind (maybe too much Jack London is to blame).
The movie is not bad and well shot and got good actors, but I got one main trouble and mixed feelings with Into the Wild, the movie is imo trying to make a hero of someone who was everything but a hero and with professional help, he would maybe be still alive. But in the end, who cares!?
