Silly, Foolish, and Absolutely Exasperating

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2020)

Watched this film without any expectations; realised halfway through that it was based on a true story of a man who tried to set out "into the wild" to get away from society etc etc... and trying to "live off the land".
Not sure how this film got to have half a million ratings that lands it with an average of 8.1 stars - this film certain did not work out all that good for me.
While there is no doubt some form of sympathy evoked for McCandless - the things he did after leaving college were sorely stupid, silly, foolish and downright exasperating to watch on film.
Emile Hirsch's performance was OK in this film - can't say he had a lot of room for development as an actor for such a guy who did such foolish things in real life.
The only thing I felt good after watching this film, was when the end credits rolled.
Yes, this is a harsh review, but the 148 mins watching this film was time taken away from my life on witnessing the shenanigans of a foolish person doing stupid things in real-life, which eventually led to his own demise.
