I cannot possibly BEGIN to describe my feelings towards this story, or perhaps the whole concept of what McCandless did. After watching the movie, I could not think of anything but a strange longing to do what he did, and it just kept going. I still feel that way, even now, as I think of it. Later, I read the book twice, and did a lot of research about McCandless, and I became more and more inspired. This is not just a movie - it is a wonder of creation. I have so much more to say, but I'll just stop here - watch the movie even if you are not inspired by what McCandless did - it is a beautiful movie in many ways.
Dirk van Eck is a geography student who does not like, probably hates, to travel. But he loves Into the Wild! With an abstract that has ‘doomed to fail’ written all over it, the movie, and its leading actor Emile Hirsch, the movie surprises beyond imagination by actually emotionally engaging its viewer. Two and a half hours long, and thus deliberately aiming to ‘be’ epic, Into the Wild leads one through a series of bittersweet, nervous, whimsical, curious, risky, banal and passionate moments between different people, sometimes mere strangers, or just between the protagonist and his surroundings. It is a film that feels much more genuine than any comparable alternative, mainly because of director Sean Penn’s - who truly outdoes…
My God. The concept, the look at life, the songs, the lines in the songs,the soothing music , the dialogues, the edifying quotes, the characters and the picturesque nature shown in this film make it more than a film. It makes this, the ULTIMATE PHILOSOPHICAL EXPERIENCE. Everything is so beautiful and when Emile Hirsch sheds tears in the last scene, you cannot control breaking down.
Into the Wild is a wondrous and breathtaking journey, taking the viewer on a spiritual quest that feels just as life-affirming and joyous as any film that I have seen. Emile Hirsch just kills it in the lead role, cementing my opinion that he's one of the most underrated actors working today.
I don't have much more to say about it. Into the Wild is a personal experience, one that will work much better when viewed alone.
A poignant true life story of a young man trying to find his true self! The journey is beautiful but like life it is filled with obstacles, challenges and tragedy!
I can't think of a time I haven't wanted to leave society behind, ditch the grid and fly under the radar as I traipse through the woods or beaches barefoot feeling the sand between my toes!
Then I realized I'd have to hunt prey, kill it, clean it, cook it and on top of that I'd have to fetch and haul wood, start a fire, haul water from a lake or river, boil it before I could drink it! Just thinking about that wears me out! Thank god for frozen…
A movie with a terribly unlikable main character that feels remarkably over-directed. I can see why many would connect with it, but it just isn't a story I found myself caring about, mostly because of the misguided narration and a sub-par lead performance.

رأيي :
قصة حلوه و فلم ممتع بس فيه سلبيات شوي خربت علي، اول شي من اول كم دقيقه حبيت الجو و تحمست كثير للفلم الساوندتراك و التصوير كان جدا ممتاز، اكبر مشكله بالفلم هي مدته الطويله! فلم بقصه زي كذا مره كثير عليه ساعتين و نص،
ثاني شي الاخراج ما عجبني
لفلم كان مقسم بالماضي و الحاضر و غالبا لما يكون بالماضي يكون مع شخصيات جانبيه رهيبه و هنا يشدني بس لما يرجع للحاضر و الشخصيه تكون لحاله هنا اهتمامي يقل شوي، عموما فلم جيد لولا طول الوقت كان ممكن يكون افضل بكثير.

Into the Wild is a movie that is highly regarded by rich kids that have the chance to leave everything behind and travel the fuck around the country. I dunno, I thought the character’s journey was sort of dumb and too on the nose. Hal Holbrook was great tho and I enjoyed the pacing of the editing. It’s a love letter to mediocre males taking on self-discover journeys. Good for you, random white guy.
Into The Wild is a fine piece of art. The story is hard hitting and heart penetrating. It makes you reconsider your life in a positive way.
Teenage dreams never fleet. Well this is mine. Weird to watch it again when the first time I watched it I dreamed so much. Now I’m close to doing it. It’s not only his journey that gives me feelings with this movie, it’s mine as well
A film that neither judges nor idealizes Christopher McCandless' decision to withdraw from society entirely. Sure, some of his adventures before Alaska are so beautiful and uplifting that they could feel like encouragement to do the same. His naivety and mistakes in the end don't, though. "Happiness is only real when shared" is the equally wonderful and bitter conclusion. The story, the outstanding acting and especially the beautiful cinematography and great soundtrack by Eddie Vedder make this an instant classic.
