Into the Wild

Definitely one of the best movies I've seen lately! And I'm not talking about the technical aspects (though they are really good), but about what it meant to me.

A young guy, searching for truth, leaves behind the theories from school, all the hypocritical relationships, his old car and all the money. He opens up himself completely, meets simple and diverse people along the way, builds a deep and trusting relationship with nature, keeps being free and grows fantastically in wisdom.

"So now, after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure.
The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution.
No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost... in the wild."


The soundtrack, written and sung by Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam leader), also freaked me out with parts such as:

"It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me"

i saw this movie with Karan a couple of months ago, also liked it a lot. It is based on a true story, and as I didn't know the end before watching the movie, it left me in awe - just sitting there for several minutes watching credits, with that music filling my ears... great, great movie
