It’s a mistery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won’t be free

Into The Wild

The short life of 24-year-old self-styled adventurer Chris McCandless, chronicled in a best-selling book by Jon Krakauer, became an inspiration for young people seeking to reconnect with nature and face the world on their own terms. The true story is now a feature film adapted from the book and directed by Sean Penn. Alan Silverman has a look at Into The Wild.

Editor Says:
“This is a movie of real beauty. It made me cry. I felt moved in a way that happens very rarely. It was an inspiration. The feelings it evoked were all based on the power of the acting and the writing. The words were real and human. The relationships seemed real and human. This may not seem like a great feat - but I consider it a true rarity. It didn’t feel calculated and artificial, like so many movies (read: Crash - but I’m not here to bash that…). It was very organic, natural and (I can’t say it enough) just beautiful. Cripes, it’s making me sound like a hippie, for heaven’s sake. This for me was Penn’s best work since Indian Runner.“
