One man; one mission: Freedom

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2008)

From actor/director Sean Penn comes the tantalizing, inspirational story based on the oxymoronic fate of Christopher McCandless but to those whom encountered him through out his journey; Alexander Supertramp.
Based on a the true account, as interpreted by Jon Krakauer through his novel, bearing the same title. It encompasses a new kind of coming of age, a new awakening. An existentialist view, as perceived by Alex, leaving behind the constructions of society based around him short after his graduation, leaving behind a trail of his former life. From money, family, his successful and fruitful future to finally his own name.
This story is a truly inspirational visual adaptation of Krakauer's novel and perception of McCandless' short yet "fulfilling" life. It is undoubtedly a must see. A movie that will be with you till the rest of your life. It may to cause the Alexander Supertramp in you to arise.
