i don't recommend, nothing interesting happens, he's just an idiot. i wanted to like it because im usually into these kinds of movies

>>83264860
yes, it's worth watching

>>83264860
Makes people really mad for some reason. Like posting about this guy hits every one of their triggers at the same time.

>>83264860
its a good film okay story that makes you feel for the character and family

but its kinda propped up as an example of why people cant survive without modern society and that self sufficiency is pipe-dream which is a kind of shitty self defeating message that's not really true

>>83264860
It's one of those movies people misunderstand. Normies think it's romanticizing living fast and dying young.

If you watch it keeping in mind the protagonist is just as flawed as the world he's trying to escape, it's pure kino.

why so people ask if a movie is worth watching instead of just watching it? its 2 fucking hours man just sit down and watch it

2007 was a stacked year so there were better films but it's definitely good and worth watching. He was selfish and left behind tons of people that cared about him.

Yes.

He was an ungrateful richfag from a privileged background who wanted to LARP as a homeless man until he realized that living in the Alaskan wilderness isn't like an episode of Bear Grylls.

I heard the local government in Fairbanks had to remove the bus because it was becoming a pilgrimage site for easily influenced hipster fag who ended up getting stranded like their dead hero.

Read the book.

Like >>83265890 says it's a story with some easily missed nuance that the movie doesn't convey as well as the book does.

>>83264860
The main character is infuriating and you have no respect for him doing what he does and by the end you'll just feel angry at the stupid pleb. Worth watching though.

>be spoiled faggot with no survival knowledge
>decide to go Into the Wild™
>bring only a .22, a flint, and a bag of beans or whatever
>die because you're a fucking retard
Wow what a breathtaking story.

Couldn't get over the fact that the man was homeless and had perfect hair in like every scene

The movie is quite great tbqh. Of course, as you can see, most of the Redditors here can't see past the main character's motivation as it if had anything to do with the cinematographic qualities of the film.

Why does Chris McCandless trigger people so much? He was very principled, a bit naive, but a very intense person that died possibly through poisoning resulting from mistaken identification of roots. He wanted to test himself in the most difficult way and failed; but I can't help but respect him immensely for trying, it's more than I'll ever do.

Jon Krakauer is a complete insecure douche though

People it's afraid of what they wouldn't do themselves.
