Into the wild is easily one of the most moving movies i have ever seen. You have to see this in your lifetime. Its a long movie but the end is so rewarding, and it will make you cry. I know i might be a bit late as this movie is old, but i just wanted to see what facepunch thinks of this movie.
"Happiness only real when shared"
Such a great movie. It really makes you think. I thought it was cool that it was based on a true story.
I sometimes wish I could live that way, only not fail at it.
The more things I get and the more responsibility I take on, the more trapped and tied down I feel. Like now I'm married, I have a house, a dog, a car, and all the debt that goes with it all.
I would also recommend reading the book, as it includes a lot of background information about Chris that wasn't really explained in the movie.
Great movie.
Even though in the end I completely hated the kid.
I loved it, very powerful movie.
Oh, I abhorred that movie. It made me cry as well, but not out of empathy or because it was so great, but because I wanted to punch the guy through the screen. I couldn't connect with his character at any point in the movie. Even if it is based on a true story, it's unrealistic. What kinda kid goes through all of that work to get a wonderful education and then blows it all away? And what he did to the old man, who just wanted to help him... ergh.
I was glad his character died after he hurt people like that. :D
Great film, I have to read the book one of these days

Because the only purpose of education is to make money and buy things. Maybe he just wanted the education to better himself and not be ignorant. I worked with a guy who has a university education in history and music and he's working a 9 - 5 labor job, just because he enjoys history and music. Then again, he also plays constant gigs all week during the night as a drummer.
Saw the film with the class a time ago, it was really good.

Look how well that worked out for him.
watched the movie for school, to be honest it annoyed me, i dont care whether it was based on a real story, the main character was portrayed as a bloody saint in harmony with all gods green creatures, suddenly it dissolves any kind of empathy i would have for him.
My favourite movie, watched it so many times.

Well, he made a lot of mistakes, I agree, but I'm just saying that there's not a default path you have to take in life and I admire those who find their own.
I got 5 minutes into the movie and promptly turned it off, realizing how much of a fucking idiot this kid is.
He's trying to hunt moose with a .22
I love this movie and the fact that Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder did a lot of the music.
I wanted to cry when the old man asked to adopt him and he said "After I get back from Alaska" and the old man started crying. :'(
