Well told story. Great soundtrack. Powerful acting.,
By J. Stiller "Jim, the teacher-- Been Around" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Into the Wild (DVD)
Penn does a lovingly beautiful job in retelling Chris' story. The research by both author and film maker must have been difficult. Superb casting. But don't misunderstand our 'hero'. Hubris has spoiled many. Chris was certainly an angry, self-centered fellow, and hurt, but what good did his journey do? (Perhaps as another reminder for us.) It is only when he is facing death that his vision is clear. Is this what Tolstoy and other writers who Chris admired meant? He was a rebel, but what was his cause? Still, we certainly feel for him, and those lives he touched.

Great movie about the meaning of life,

This review is from: Into the Wild (Special Edition) (DVD)
Into the Wild follows the real-life story of an early-20's recent grad who gives up his middle-class life, his car and all his money and sets off on a hitchiker journey through America, finally settling in Alaska.This movie really struck a chord with me on an emotional level, I've also often thought of eschewing all material things before, realizing it can never be the true source of happiness. But as the main character tragically realizes, neither is loneliness and isolation. Great movie with a powerful, haunting music score by Eddie Vedder.

Can't Wait to See this on Blu Ray,
By
This review is from: Into the Wild [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
We saw this movie when it was first released on DVD, and were completely impressed. The story of self-discovery, and the shrugging-off of the material world is wonderful. The soundtrack is incredible as well, but that's another review !More important to the Blu Ray release is the astounding outdoor panaramas throughout this film. Whether it's kayaking the Colorado river (my personal favourite segment) or discovering Caribou in Alaska, this film is a real treat for those who adventure in the outdoors (or are armchair adventurers!) This film was released at the height of the Blu Ray vs HD-DVD "war" and was one of the movies originally released on HD-DVD. It has taken a year or so for the Blu Ray version to hit the market, but I wasted no time ordering it as soon as it was available. This is one of those films that we will watch and re-watch, and recommend to everyone.
