INTO THE WILD
(2007)
“Into the wild”
was directed by Sean Penn and it is an adaptation of a popular book written by
John Krakauer, a non-fiction account of the travels made by a young Virginia
man called Christopher McCandless who disowns his family and possessions.
The star who
plays the part of Christopher is Emile Hirsch but in the cast there are also so
many famous actors like Kristen Stewart and Vince Vaughn.The film is set
in North America and in particular Alaska in the early 1990s.
Into the wild is
about the youth of Christopher McCandless that, upon his graduation from Emory
University in Atlanta, goes away from his dysfunctional family in search of
inspiring knowledge and a complete harmony with nature. The protagonist renames
himself “Alexander Supertramp” and starts a very long journey with no material
goods to arrive at his promise land, Alaska. During his trip, Chris meets
different kinds of people that help him with his spiritual growth and, at the
end, thanks to them he realizes that
“Happiness only real when shared”.
I highly
recommend this film for the sense of freedom and beauty that it instils in the
heart. Finally the movie
has an amazing soundtrack entirely composed by Eddie Vedder, leader of Pearl
Jam, with songs made on purpose to every scene.
