Held my interest despite hypocrisy

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2018)

The story of a college graduate who "rebels against society" and becomes a drifter/adventurer. One of the things I felt the movie was trying to choke down my throat was the wastefulness and uselessness of society. I did not read the book. But the fact that this was produced by Sean Penn is typical and at the same time comical. There's a song in the film which talks about how much money do we need, and how much space do we need before it becomes too much. That we take and use too much. And yet a quick search shows Mr Penn to be worth $150 million. And I might be wrong but I bet he has a pretty big house. This is where I find the hypocrisy. I don't like to be preached at. As much as he is rebelling against society, he is also rebelling against his parents and his upbringing. The movie is visually interesting with diverse scenery. The acting is very good. The script is good. Worth a watch.
