It never seemed to me that Chris died happy. I felt to me that he died because of an accident, and because of a stupid act.

I thought the movie, and the book, tried to attach more greatness, to the character, than he actually deserves. IMO, one need not got to Alaska to find out that the happiness of life is in sharing.
leader [lee-der] -noun : A person who can publicize himself in the media, and is very successful at it.

I completely concur with Guttonkay. The leader character is not an epitome of anything that is worth emulation. He is a wanderlust and his disenchantment had reason of any sorts.

I wonder people who make statements like, "he is after real happiness ...the real deal" and then call him "Selfless" even understand the shortsightedness of such an argument...

When he wants no attachements...what is this craving for real deal and happiness??

Yes he was selfish and misguided. But I think most people say it's a story about going out there and grabbing for your dreams, going after the things you want in life. Instead of sitting around letting experiences and dreams pass you by (which sadly is what most people do). Chris had the courage to make his dreams happen. Regardless of whether he died in the end, he gave it his best shot. Would he have been truly happy staying at home, withstanding the torture of a dysfunctional family? No. It was his destiny to go to Alaska and it was probably his destiny to die there. But he died a happy man. I would say that's preferable to dying old and miserable.

Rebel, the author and the movie idolizes him. Remember all they have is some 3rd party people's views of this guy. They could've made the guy a loser for his choices. They didn't. It's all about perception. Obviously, I have different one.

he is a real person...not just a characer
-----------------------------------------------

elca bro, that's my whole problem. If he was a character in a book or a movie, I would've worshipped him. The idealist in me would've loved his free spirit and doing what he wanted to yada yada.

Instead he is a real person, one who was well educated, one who was obvious capable of empathy, one who cared about the world enough to donate all his savings. Whatever may be his chosen path to do what he was doing and whatever are the reasons behind it, I just think he didn't have to die if he did it the right way.

Why did he burn cash and then go find a job at burger king? When he was in Alakan wilderness, why didn't he get a compass, why didn't he not know that the nearest town is only 20 miles away? Why didn't he not know there is a bridge to cross the creek couple of miles up or down stream? Why did he go to Alasakan wilderness so unprepared? He obviously wanted to come back wherever at whatever time. He didn't have to die.

I don't know if he is special or not. I just see that a waste of life and one that couldn't find forgiveness for his parents in all the empathy he had for the rest of the world.

You and I can agree to disagree.

I said smart one will do their whatever shit with planning. It's not enough to be inspired and want to act on it, you also need to know how to.

I don't give a hoot about humanity. My whole point is that the guy Chris mccandles is idolized for no reason.

If you read anything else in my post it's not my goal.

parthu bhai, for someone who did not watch the movie, you have some big comments :-))




That makes my job easy j/k



Guttonkay:

I will tell you that I read the book, watched the movie, read a lot about him else where. So, I have a different view from anyone who tends to make this guy some kind of hero.

He didn't have a plan. All he knew was to go away, somewhere, anywhere. Did he learn how to live off the land - no. Why did he burn his cash and then go find a job at Burger king? Is that even called planing? Who burns cash btw? Did you know he was 30 miles from the nearest town when he died in that bus? He didn't know b'coz he didn't have damn compass.

did he want to die - No. Did he have to die - not if he planned properly with a compass and proper food and talked to the locals about the conditions of the creek.

He was a wanderer and nothing more. Any tom, dick and harry can read Jack London's books and run away with no purpose. The smart ones learn from the book and use it for the greater good of themselves and humanity.




This is reason why I had to post in this thread. If someone derives some inspiration from this movie and go on search for truth, will that be a bad thing happened to this guy. Why are you being so judgemental about this. Some one might come up with a better plan and succeed in his quest. If you say you dont like the guy's attitude personally about leaving home on quest, I dont have a problem with. As you said, you are opposing this movie because he can be treated as here by some people and you are not OK with that. Are you a guardean of this humanity. Do you know what is good and what is bad for humanity.

I reiterate I do not oppose your likes and dislikes about this movie. I am only against your idea of opposing because you think someone might take him as hero and go on quest. You are assuming lot of things here. You are putting so much burden on your shoulders. This is just a movie.

when he died he did wrote a note that happiness is about sharing...
I agree..by doing that he left something for certain section of people to use that against him to show everyone n say "look at him...dat will wat happen if u do like dat"..
But look at his condition...he is starved...he is sick...he is weak..and he is alone...he is unlucky to feed on those poisonous leaves...and the ugly side of life showed up and it pushed him to the extreme and put him in the most compromising situation any human can be put under...
and so in that time of extreme despair he wrote that piece..."Happiness comes with sharing"
so u can do two things here...feel sorry for his end but celebrate his life which had so many wonderful moments that mean so much than any other mundane life u see around urself ...
Or u just go after him sayin he is just a wanderer a waste an irresponsible an escapist or watever....

but u cannot ignore that guy...he is special

yeah, The movie seems to be more sympathetic to him than the book, movie exalts his character imo, He didn't deserve to die but on the other hand, he obviously wasn't fit to live in this civilization !!

Guttonkay:

I said what he did to his family is wrong. I said his view towards life wasn't realistic. He was more than anything an escapist. Everytime he got bored he ran away from that place. May be towrds the end just before he ran out of food he was willing to move back to MN or CA, but it was too late.


well u perceive him as an escapist but i see him as someone trying to seek what he is after....conquering each of his desires one by one...in that process he succumbed to the needs once or twice...and he is not running away places cause he is bored...but he is running away cause of the fear of gettin attached...its his defense mechanism....stop using the examples where he had to crave in for food to make him look low to dis respect him...he is a real person...not just a characer

Guttonkay:

Why is it Karan Joharishque if one says u don't communicate with your parents for years on end? What depth in personality I lack that you have to understand someone getting wasted and dying alone and stinking for months?
And tell me what truth he found? I am sure he realized the truth he was looking for was not to be found in that bus and it's too late to realize that.



u cannot ask for results for every action....wat he found??? why he wasted his life??? wats the point??? ur talkin rhetoric things like parents n good n bad stuff when he is venturing for something to conquer everything....and yes he died..even if u n i drive somewhere n stuck in a snow storm n lose the path then we can die too...then how would u feel if someone comments on us saying "wat a losers they went to drive without havin any food..hahaha"...u see wat i mean ..u dont have to disrespect him saying fcking shame n stuff like that....
and yeah that depth in personality thing is like a generic term...if u dont have depth u wouldn't even be in this thread talkin about him to me...u understood him but in a diff manner....sorry if u took it in wrong way...

Isn't that a damn shame. Dude finally realize life is about sharing your jobs and happiness. Or, at the least your happiness doubles when you share it. By that time it's f*cking too late b'coz he was stupid enough to walk into the Alaskan wilderness with a sack of rice only




What is shame in it.. He believed something and he went for it. The result is he found the answers he is searching for. I call him a winner.

Do not put your head on his neck. Accept him as he is and watch the movie. If you do not do that, you failing as an audience.

PS: I did not see the movie.

U don't know jack about me. So, let's not get personal. In every post I only talked about the guy, so, I rather stick to talking about the guy.

Why is it Karan Joharishque if one says u don't communicate with your parents for years on end? What depth in personality I lack that you have to understand someone getting wasted and dying alone and stinking for months?

And tell me what truth he found? I am sure he realized the truth he was looking for was not to be found in that bus and it's too late to realize that.

he is an idiot because only in the end he realizes happines is only felt when shared.
------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't that a damn shame. Dude finally realize life is about sharing your jobs and happiness. Or, at the least your happiness doubles when you share it. By that time it's f*cking too late b'coz he was stupid enough to walk into the Alaskan wilderness with a sack of rice only.

he is too smart....he is very very well read...well informed.
------------------------------------------------------------ -----
so what if he is well educated? Education doesn't teach you anything about being street smart and sensible. The dude in this movie is the biggest example.

Which part of what I said did you read as life is about suburban house with a wife and kids?????

I said what he did to his family is wrong. I said his view towards life wasn't realistic. He was more than anything an escapist. Everytime he got bored he ran away from that place. May be towrds the end just before he ran out of food he was willing to move back to MN or CA, but it was too late.

The movie is well made, the guy is no hero by any means. Most people who liked the movie (I liked it too) wouldn't give 2 effs about that guy if we run into that kind in real life. You would all be here posting one of your boothu words.

guttonkay brother....he gives away all his savings to charity....he burned only the few cash he had with him...he didn't venture into woods to die...so his parents finding him dead alone starved was not part of his plan....
he is getting rid of relations n moving away from it liberating himself in search of the truth....the real deal....and ur talking the rhetoric karan johars worship parents philosophy.....u need to have some depth n intensity in ur personality to understand wat he is after...u want him to be like u....and iam intrigued n in awe of him for being like himself....if he did more homework on how to survive in woods n how to preserve meat n stuff he would have lived....and learned...he was unlucky

he is a idiot thats what they presented him like, the sympathy only comes at the end when he realises his mistake..the director never projected him to be a ideal man searching for his pursuit

I am not talking about his pursuit for happiness and all that. For him to not inform his parents about his where about and for his parents to search for him forever, only to find him dead due to starvation in an abandoned bus is bizzare.

You can have n number of issues with your parents, but you don't burn cash and run away for years.

Personally I want to slap anyone who wants to burn cash. Go donate it somewhere for pete'ssakes.

He was stupid more than anything. Ignorant to the feelings of his family or may be blinded by whatever anger he had & selfish. He was willing to be so nice to everyone else but for hsi family. He wanted to be without attachments and troubles - not a realistic view of the world.

But for Jon Kraukauer's romanticizing this kid in his book and Sean Penn making a pretty film, you guys would be saying what an idiot this guy is.

Guttonkay:

Movie okay gani, guy was incredibly selfish with what he did.


did u see the movie??? we are told about his child hood certain things that develops those pessimistic views he shares for relationships.....
in the search of the truth n in the pursuit of real happiness he realizes most important aspect of happiness...that u can only savor it when its shared....which again brings back the importance of a family a partner a fren..but the beauty of it is when he realizes it he is dead..but its the journey for that truth that is so compelling to watch...
he is not selfish....he didnt have anyone back home who is relying on him for livelihood...his parents should be proud of him....i would if my son leaves everything i earned for him n ventures in search of truth at such an young age when kids of his age only think about sex n life n money....

http://passionforcinema.com/into-the-wild-an-unbelonged-life -2/

Some movies can be felt and written about. Then, there are some movies which can be felt but difficult to write about. They seep into us, slowly get inside the veins and touches the heart. Watching the movie then becomes an experience, like meditation or hypnotism

Is happiness ought to be a macaristic outcome of human relationships? Or is it the pristine waterfall, wandering green meadows and snow capped mountains, which can provide a solace, so solemn and satisfying that an unholy past can burn to ashes ?

Money isn’t happiness. Relationships are not essential to live. People met in the journey of life, are like colorful milestones, to stop and cross by.


The movie should be watched with the mind set free, for a moment , from plastic cards, ATM machines and the internet, to think about the choice which life gives us, either to succumb to a life of responsibilities and mundane chores, bonhomie and social bondage or simply to a habromanic surrender ………………into the wild.

awesomeee rasadu kurrodu.....
