Into the Wild


Into the Wild (1 viewing)



Plot : Chris McCandless (Emile Hirsch) has just graduated from college , but does not go on to pursue his career - instead he burns the money he had and abandons his car to go live his life on the road - from scratch.

Story : As Chris voyages toward his goal of living in Alaska , he meets many other people along the way. Though he will live with them for small periods of time he always leaves in the end to go somewhere new. The more he travels the more you learn about his past , but as it seems to be revealing more : it just stops and the true motive of the main character is never revealed. This is my problem with the whole movie - all the characters have very hidden agendas , and I can't ever connect with any of them.

Visuals : Looks great for the most part , this is defintly one of the stronger points of the movie : throughout there are many attempts to capture the beauty of the landscapes and nature , which works out some times and not others.

Synopsis : I'm emotionally disconnected with the characters at all times throughout this movie - but it does keep me watching untill the end and guessing about what could make the events in the movie happen.
