Everyone has a bit of Chris McCandless in them...

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2012)

I usually don't write reviews of all films that i watch unless it really connects with me or moves me in some manner.This film is a very thought provoking,liberating and emotionally moving film.I am not going into the specifics and abilities of the cast and crew as more than enough has already been said about it.This is my version on the beauty of the film and why it is a must watch.
From the start itself one can connect easily with the lead character and the happenings in his life.But the bold step that Chris takes can hardly be foreseen.It is from that moment onwards that the film really wraps around the audience.I guess everybody who watches this film can connect with it in their own personal way and that to me is the greatest success of this movie.
The actors and the director did an awesome job to make this movie truly wonderful and great.The director has achieved to bring in Nature itself as one of the most important characters in this film.That in itself makes this movie a treat to watch.
Chris has left behind a legacy of thoughts that just does not seem to go away even long after one has finished watching the movie.I read somewhere that all some guy could think off, after climbing a mountain and looking into the horizon was that what i am feeling right now would have been the same feeling that Chris would have felt when he was alone in the Alaskan wilderness.This alone sums up the beauty of the film.
This is a film which after watching will remain with you for a long time because everyone has a bit of Chris McCandless in them...
