i actually wish i could venture out alone and do something like this for a bit but unfortunately i am a woman
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.
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.
I tried, I really tried. It’s been on my watchlist for months and it looked so beautiful and interesting... but this might be the worst film I’ve ever seen.
I was immediately skeptical when the first title credits appeared as they looked like the type of font that is used on a 3rd grader’s google drive presentation, and that’s how this film feels: too unaware and lacking in terms of seriousness and focus. Aside from the exaggerated music, unnecessary narration, and typical characters arcs, Into the Wild is simply a bore. The poster and description gave me major Nomadland vibes, but the only reason as to why they’re similar is because the entire time I was watching this I…
Into the Wild makes almost a perfect pairing with Twilight as it is about everything "wrong" with young man perspective looked at completely uncritically and completely celebrated for it by the general public. This is a movie at which someone literally burns money, and we're supposed to be like "yeah! take that capitalism!" as if that money couldn't have helped someone who had less of a safety net than Chris McCandles. It's another film (like On the Road) that romanticizes the freedom of poverty while ignoring that that freedom McCandles experiences is almost entirely derived from his enormous privilege.
I'm not sure I can say anything worse about this film than it made me sympathetic to McCandles' awful suburban parents. What kind of person does this to their parents (barring situations of abuse)?
Honestly, watch Wendy and Lucy instead. This is probably the worst film I've watched this year.
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.
This movie has a body count. People have died because of it. Sean Penn directed this. He is such a bad director that he makes Alaskan mountains look like shit. This is the worst movie of all time.
"Where the fuck is Kristen Stewart?" - Me, for most of the movie.

People need more nature in their life I suppose... not this much though.
Generally speaking, I don't like watching privileged children slum it in order to find themselves... especially when they are obsessed with poetry and stuff. It's a flaw I have... I don't like watching young people recover from their flaws or histories during their early adulthood... I don't know why but it annoys me in movies. Maybe it's because I never feel like I dealt with mine or maybe I'm just too old and bitter to care or maybe…
