Into the Wild
Director and screenplay writer Sean Penn takes us on a marvelous journey across America spanning 2 years seeing it through the eyes of Christopher McCandless (wonderfully played by Emile Hirsch). As an idealistic college graduate in 1990 disillusioned at the world and materialism, Chris heads west and finally north to Alaska seeking truth and happiness with only what he could carry on his back, hitchhiking, kayaking, train hopping, and living off the land. On the road, he becomes Alexander Supertramp and meets many interesting characters whose lives he deeply effects. Hirsch really carries the film as the naive youthful adventurer. The scenery is magnificent and breathtaking. At 2 ½ hours, it is a long film, but well worth the trip. It is a true story based a popular book (not read by Alien). This movie will touch your heart.
Alien gives it 3 “Slab City and Magic Bus” stars out of 4.
