You have got to be kidding me! A friend of mine asked me to return some movies for him, I told him I would do so after work. Well, I thought, I might as well watch one of them, it would help pass time at work. So my choices were Delta Farce, American Gangster and Into the Wild. I picked Into the Wild. Bad bad bad choice. What a F&^*ing waist of time that was. Not knowing anything about the movie, I fell right for it. I spent two hours watching a movie about a spoiled rich kid with an anxiety disorder who decides to run off to Alaska!
Give me a break here people! Why on Earth would you ever make a movie about an idiot who starves to death in a bus in Alaska? He is no hero, he is a victim of his own stupidity! He had a gun, fishing pole and knives. HE STARVED TO DEATH IN ALASKA. There is more wildlife in Alaska than in New York's night clubs and he starved!
He lived in a bus on the back side of a national park, no map but wasn't smart enough to wonder how the bus got there? What an idiot! This guy almost deserved what he got for being a moron, I hate to see someone pay that high a price for being stupid but it happens.
Chris Mccandless is no hero or pioneer to me, just another reason stupid people shouldn't breed! He was a college educated moron trying to make it in a cowboy world. I don't feel sorry for him at all.
Here is a YouTube video of the real bus and below is the movie trailer.
The book is really good though. Sure he was a moron but it's a good story. I mean he was certifiably crazy after all.
