I didn't know much about this film or the story behind it when my girlfriend passed it over to me in blockbusters. The film starts well enough but I was already checking the box to see at what time it would finish. Then as it went on I found my self drawn in. If music could tell a story then the soundtrack from Eddie Vedder tells it perfectly. The story follows Chris Mcandless who in my opinion dies tragically by his own mistakes, but died only after living the way he wanted to live. The film is filmed perfectly in my opinion, and had me by the end not wanting the film to end. Never before has a film affected me so much that weeks after seeing it I cant stop thinking about it. If you haven't seen it then see it. I have nothing but admiration and respect for Alexander Supertramp for having the balls to do what he wanted to do the way he wanted to do it.
