'Into the Wild' Trailer (2007)

To the few people claiming that mccandless committed suicide, I must strongly disagree. You have to keep in mind as he is slowly and painfully dying of starvation he has a rifle with him. He did everything to hold out as long as he could, dying in a horrible way. The fact that he didnt shoot himself when he realized he was going to die is a testament of his character and how much he cherished life. Ultimately thats what his whole journey was about, taking a risk to live life to the fullest.

You're a F**king idiot.

If we are all "born into the wild" as you asy, then why don't you go live in the middle of the wilderness with now supplies and see how long you last.

Humans have reached a point where they are no longer of the Earth. This is sad and pathetic and true.

Were we still "born into the wild" then we would also be raised there and have the necessary skills to exist there.

This selfish asshat thought he could skip that step and he ended up dead. One less idiot in the world.

Um, he didn't die because he didn't bring a map or compass. He died because of a mistaken plant identification. It poisoned him and part of the side effects was that he couldn't digest. I am pretty sure an alarm clock wouldn't be much in keeping him from starving ;)

A Poem For Chris:
Is it real this person who feels
I try to see him as I know I should
A man destined and cut from society
A wonderer seeking truth in search of needs
In nature a land of beauty he set himself free
Set with a goal to search the depths of his soul
Into the wild he flew beyond reason God only knew
Onto the mountains until he knew, his journey was now threw...

i totally agree with you....almost ALL of the people in the world are buying nice car, living in a nice place to feel better about themself when others are jealous of them. this story is just....not modern poeple could understand it....nowday people only care about how to become a "pimp", or becoming a gangster....how sad...

why do all you F**king people make frun of the one that is so free that he dident want one like hes family in the way so he wanted to be free why cant you understand that

i don't mean to cut in but HE died from HIS OWN stupidity... i have spent a lot of time out in the woods, why he would not take a map or compass, or why he would take an alarm clock is beyond me... he essentially committed suicide is a good way of saying it...he made too many mistakes to even beging mentioning them...

Ce film est tout simplement magnifique !!! sinon il est incompris...

Gilch, just because it's the internet doesn't mean you shouldn't show people respect. Don't let the little things hold you down like that. In the words of Bob Marley "free yourself from mental slavery, none but yourself can free your own mind."

Read Vladimir Megre, Anastasia, The Ringing Cedars. if you like this movie.

The book was amazing.

Did not think a person who spells before "b4" could read past a third grade level

How or why should one "learn" to live in the wild. We are all born into the wild as a species it is life it is natural. To say he committed suicide is to say that a polar bear that dies due to unsuccessful hunting or an elephant that dies because a water hole dried up is also committing suicide.

Alaskan Park Ranger Peter Christian wrote: "I am exposed continually to what I will call the 'McCandless Phenomenon.' ....When you consider McCandless from my perspective, you quickly see that what he did wasn't even particularly daring, just stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate. First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. ....If he [had] had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament ... Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide."[12

I was thinking the exact same thing... It was a canoe mentioned in the book...

Wow I just saw it, and I have to say it was trulely an amazing story. I have never read the book before but this movie brought tears to my eyes, and opened up many new ways i think about life. The ending is so sad

hell ya it is! i read it b4!

It's tragic how it all ended, but i bet Christopher McCandless saw more and experienced more during his travels than most people do in a lifetime.

I just added Into the Wild and Supertramp tees onto my page - Also there are other current Alaskan events like corrupt politicians, gold digging strippers and crabbers with crabs. Come on over to see them at echoforsberg's cafepress page

you guys should read the book its awesome by john krakeur

looks real good

Sean is one of the best north american directors since The Pledge

Hey Sean great questing movie! Your boy is on the ladder. I liked how you asked him if I go first(down the rapids)will you? You definitely have the right stuff-get in the zone right away. You could have hung at our playground-all it ever was, was fearless dares.

The beauty of the inner hero quest is that you don't have to go anywhere to find your self-you just have to go within. Find an activity that makes you feel good and peaceful at the same time. Examples: Sports-the zone. Actors-the place of divine play, where space is not divided by form. Fishing-when you can feel the fish take the offering at a distance. Then try meditation at once. Hone in on the same feeling of peace within the chaos of your mind and watch the chaos subside.
