Into the Wild-2007 ‧ Drama film/Biography
Director: Sean Penn
Into the Wild, brings in a new line of thinking with the story of a 20- year-old college graduate who cashes in his law school fund, helps needy and sets out on his very own adventure. He drives west until he can drive no farther, and then north into the Alaskan wilderness. He has a handful of books about survival and edible wild plants which he uses as his motivation and as a bible for survival.
We meet Christopher (Emile Hirsch) as a dreamer ,as a person who just wants the truth and is in search for it, in reaction against his proud parents (William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden) and his caring and loving sister (Jena Malone). He had good grades; his future of entering into Harvard law was right within his reach.Then why and where to did he vanish ? Was one question that intrigued everyone .
He has journal more like notepad where he highlights any incident that takes place during the day. He sees himself become like one his models through this act of going and embracing nature and leaving all the pleasures and luxuries of life behind him.
Now Christopher has renamed himself Alexander Supertramp. He meets two amazing people such people as Rainey and Jan (Brian Dieker and Catherine Keener), leftover hippies still happily rejecting society, and Wayne (Vince Vaughn), a hard-drinking, friendly farmer. The most emotional and moving friend he makes is with Ron (Hal Holbrook), an older man who sees Christopher clearly as a man who is wasting his talents, as time passes and as they share a lot of memories together Ron starts to view his as his grandson. Christopher shares his view with Ron, who has seen it all, on what he is missing and asks him to follow him up a steep hillside to see the next horizon. Ron tries, before he admits he is no longer in condition.
And then Christopher disappears from the maps into the unforgiving Alaska. It looked breath taking. It is all he wanted from life. He tumbles upon an abandoned bus where no man would be and makes it his home. He hunts, not very successfully. From his journals and other evidence, Christopher constructs his final weeks.
This is a reflective, regretful, serious film about a young man swept away by his uncompromising choices. The movie is so good partly because it means so much, every person who has ever dreamt , every person who just gave up and did not do justice to his dream and by that I mean it connected to everyone who watched it cause there is always a part of you where wanted to do something like Christopher, figuratively may be not literally . It is a testament like the words that Christopher carved into planks in the wilderness. And yes at end it only matters whether or not you lived a happy life . Thats what Christopher wrote on that plank .
