Into the Wild

*MOVIE REVIEW*
So, the other day I saw Into the Wild, and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it.

It is about this kid, right out of college, who decides the society is totally sick and the want for so many material things is just wrong. So, he takes only a few provisions, burns his money, and sets off on a cross-country trip on foot and with the help of people along the way, to Alaska.
It is a true story about Chris McCandless aka Alexander SuperTramp, who really did go into the wild to find himself and become more one with nature and the universe.
The movie makes you want to just go out into the wild like Chris McCandless and find your own cross-country adventure. It makes you want to get up and do something. The movie will probably make you cry, but it's worth the watch.
Into the Wild was based on the novel, Into the Wild, which I am now absolutely determined to read this summer!
BONUS! The music for the movie is all done by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, and it completely fantastic! If you email me, I will send you the entire album. The album is like 30 minutes long and sounds just perfect. You should definitely take a listen, as well as see the movie.
I Give it: 4.7 STARS!
