Into the Wild - Heads Up

[Pandabean]

Just saw that Into the Wild is starting on Film 4 shortly if anyone is interested.

Its the story of Chris McCandless who wanted to abandon modern life and travelled across the US, eventually ending up living in Alaska.

Sean Penn's fact-based drama, based on the true story of Chris McCandless, who decided to abandon the trappings of modern life in favour of living in the wilderness. Giving away all his money and possessions, he embarked on a journey across America, intending to settle in the wilds of Alaska. However, he proved ill-prepared for the challenges he would have to face. Starring Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden and William Hurt

Not a bad film but as always the book is better

About a totally unprepared, un-informed "dreamer"

Resident Evil Extinction on channel 5 has about as much, if not more, useful survival advice in it.

Yeah - and Mila Jojovich is a lot more pleasing to the eye LOL

[ex-member Raikey]

hahaha,.....yeah,. he had mental issues as i understand,....and his pride and stoicism was his downfall in the end ,..but saying that,...

its still a well directed and provocative film i reckon,....

it opened up a good few hours conversation round mine one night,....

although a bottle of Jose Cuervo helped a bit too i think,....

[kINGPIN]

Turns out im watching resident evil instead bit more action plus I got outvoted 2 to 1. got into the wild on dvd.
Still a good film and something to think about. But yeh he w as quite unprepared. Wasnt he a mile or so from help in the end?

 

[Pandabean]

Hmmm just noticed both films want to go to alaska.

I think this is one of the best made films I have ever seen. Sean Penn is an outstanding director.

Mila was better in Fifth Element, in the wraps. BIG bada boom.

This was the first game to be made into a film, instead of films being made into games.

Dougster hit the nail on the head,one of the best films ive ever seen.

I can't find the link now but I once read a very interesting article on McCandless. It's a myth that he died of poisoning after misidentifying his wild foods. There is absolutely no evidence to support that. He died because he ran out of food after becoming trapped. Poisoning makes a better story, it's as simple as that. Try to not be too hard on him.

i realy enjoyed the book, and the film. the film infact was how i learned to carve leather.

I was told a story from a `local` guy in fairbanks (alaska)-that he ate the wrong type of mushrooms that look very similar to each other , one good ,one bad !!!


hey ho !!! at least he died trying to live the dream !!!
