Into the Wild Audience Reviews

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
debrabutler-78823 Into the Wild is a tragic movie based on the tragic real life story of Christopher Mccandless. Chris was different and surely his foolhardy ways were directly responsible for his death, and yet you somehow feel for the guy. A part of you wishes he made out alive from the Alaskan tundra, from that yellow bus. The book on which this film is based, Jon Krakeur, is also a must read in my opinion. The lead Emile Hirsh is more than adequate and the director Sean Penn must be commended for not just deftly directing the film but realizing the need to tell this young lad's story. This is a great nature vs man feature film all the more hard hitting because it is true.
info-34248 An extraordinary person who inspires us to think. This movie is a true gem. A young man had the vision and the guts to seek for freedom, for truth, for purity, for beauty. A very bright young man who wanted to undo himself from the lies around him. Wanting to be a balanced, independant person, selfless, not chained to a job or money. Happy with nothing. As he says himself: to kill the false bing within. This extraordinary young man lived a great adventure, since he left home. Sean Penn has made a fantastic movie / almost a documentury and Emile Hirsh probably played the greatest part in his life (I hope he will play bigger and better, but people remember him now, 10 years later, as the guy from into the Wild). This is a must see movie. It opened my eyes. It shows where the real friendship and beauty lie. I rated this movie a 10. This is my favorite, so I am biased.
Suzie Bogus *Spoilers*It's interesting to see how many reviews, both positive and negative, are basing their rating on what the author thought of the lead character. To me, that is a measure of how powerful the film and the subject matter are. No matter what you think of the protagonist, the film draws you in and provokes a strong emotional response. The film does a good, but not great, job of showing the events and the emotional impact of the events which drove McCandless away from home. The series of relationships he develops are well done, with well developed characters and real emotional attachments. In the end, as McCandless dies alone, we are reminded of all the times he pushed away those who tried bond with him. There are some elements which distract from the film. All of Emile Hirsch's little improv bits should have hit the cutting room floor with a heavy thud. He's just not very good at improv. The "apple of my eye" bit was embarrassingly cringe-worthy. In addition, Eddie Vedder's sophomoric lyrics make the soundtrack a disaster. I can understand why so many people are upset about the possibility of other people being led to follow in McCandless' footsteps by glorifying his quest. He was extremely irresponsible and lacking in resourcefulness. Seriously, it never occurred to him that the stream he crossed in the beginning would be impassable in the spring snowmelt? He didn't even bring a map? He could have easily hiked out if he had a map. And in the end, when he couldn't cross the stream, he didn't even try the most obvious next step, simply following the river downstream. If he had, he'd have found a cable crossing less than a mile away. Despite the flaws, this is a powerful story well told, with many fascinating characters. Hal Holbrook, Christine Keeler, and Vince Vaughn all give outstanding performances. It's well worth watching no matter what your views on the main character.
antocapemora Well, I've been reading the reviews and, honestly, I do not understand how can someone not like this film. Since the beginning it shows you both the effort and the meaning of the "trip" of this youngster who calls himself Alexander Supertramp. It is not boring at all despite it's 2 hours and almost a half. It is a real beauty... And we cannot forget that it is based on real events, which even makes you feel more empathic with the main character... Recommended a 100%
