Breathtakingly beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2008)

I saw this movie twice in theater and the second time I found it even more beautiful than the first time. As foolish as some people may call Christopher McCandless, I think it is beautiful that he did exactly what he believed in. Of course we all know that Crhistopher McCandless made mistakes, but ask yourself; why do I keep thinking about this story? Because it reminds us of what we could be capable of. We could do more with our lives than we do now, exploit the possibilities the human body gives us.
There are some amazing lines in the script such as:
"the sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally, the chance to feel strong. now, i don't know much about the sea, but i do know that that's the way it is here, and i also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong. to measure yourself at least once. to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone, nothing to help you but your hands and your own head." -- Beautiful!!
Into the wild tells a story of a stubborn, but moreover idealistic young man who wants to get out of our 'sick society' and eventually go on his 'great Alaskan adventure'; to get lost in the wild. He meets a lot of interesting people on the road and goes places not many people go.
Beautiful music, excellent acting and breathtaking shots of nature.
This story will stay with you.
