We saw "Into the Wild" last night and thought it was really good. It is based on a true story about Christopher McCandles (Emile Hirsch), who right after graduating from Emory College in 1990, left all of his worldly possessions and embarked on a journey of self discovery. His aim was to eventually go to Alaska and along the way he met an assortment of characters who shaped his life. Despite having survived the winter in Alaska, his plan hit a snag when the river he crossed during winter is now a torrent rapid in the spring, thus trapping him. The movie is really awesome!!! Watch it!!Tuesday, August 19, 2008

I thought the movie was inspiring and sad at the same time. I was kinda angry at him for being so confident of being prepared for a solitary life in Alaska when it was obvious that he was not. Such a waste of a good soul.
I wanna read the book though. I think I'd have more insight on what was going on in his head.
p/s Eddie Vedder did the soundtrack!! His voice was so haunting.
