One word: Incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2010)

While it may perhaps have it's inaccuracies as some have pointed out, it is really no wonder to me why Into the Wild had picked up some wins and nominations. I found Into the Wild to be an absolutely beautiful movie in every way, in acting, writing and cinematography alike. They even managed to make a shot with a tarantula in the desert to be beautiful.
The characters that Christopher meets on his journey to his destination are also colourful and engaging. Perhaps my favourite of them was Ron, played by the terrific Hal Holbrook. My heart broke for him when he wanted to adopt Chris as his grandson, as being familiar with the story, that he would never come back to talk to him about it.
