Synopsis: Freshly graduated from college with a promising future, 22 year-old Christopher McCandless instead walked out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Was Christopher McCandless a heroic adventurer or a naive idealist, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau or another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestled with the precarious balance between man and nature? McCandless' quest took him from the wheat fields of South Dakota to a renegade trip down the Colorado River to the non-conformists' refuge of Slab City, California, and beyond. Along the way, he encountered a series of colorful characters at the very edges of American society who shaped his understanding of life and whose lives he, in turn, changed. In the end, he tested himself by heading alone into the wilds of the great North, where everything he had seen and learned and felt came to a head in ways he never could have expected.

Directed by: Sean Penn
U.S. Rating: R
Directed by Sean Pen, Into the Wild is a great piece of drama and adventure. With such a great acting performance, Emile Hirsch reflects the story of Christopher McCandless a young adventurous boy who has decided to leave everything behind right after his highschool graduation and start a journey trying to find himself. Living and experiencing some deep and thoughtful adventures, Christopher will face the best of being selfless and not depending on money, properties or anything else... just surviving and living the adventure.
The film offers different situations and emotions that will help its viewers to feel identified in some way for the lead role.
One of the best things in this film is the amazing photography. The nature and images displayed in this film are simply amazing.
This is the first film directed by Penn that I've watched (it is not his first or only one). I think he did a pretty good job! Great film, I'd recommend it if you want to watch a good drama/adventure film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Great photography
2. It was funny to see Vince Vaughn on this film! It gave it a comedy moment to the film
3. Good plot, acting performance and direction
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Nothing
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
