Into the Wild: очень хорошо

Tonight, I went to see Into The Wild. It was really very good indeed. I have not yet read the book, of the same name, but I think I will. It really blew me away. If you are not familiar with the story, a brief summary from Wikipedia:

Into the Wild tells the adventures of Christopher McCandless, a top student at Emory University and an athlete. After graduating, McCandless decides to give his entire $24,000 savings account to OXFAM and burn all the money in his wallet. As he hitchhikes all the way to Alaska to live in the wild, bringing only a .22 caliber rifle, a camera, several boxes of rifle rounds, some camping gear, and a small selection of literature—including a field guide to the region's edible plants, Tana'ina Plantlore. During his adventure, he encounters several unique people that change his life before he faces the dangers of wilderness.


I think I recommend it to you all. So you should all all go out and watch it. It spoke a lot of sense to me and was fantastically shot. Emile Hirsch, who plays the lead was also fantastic.
