i caught Into the Wild on monday in one of my campus's largest lecture theatre. it is hosted by the Student's Union; a free movie for students and $2 for outsiders, and with a $1 free refill popcorn all night, it was the first time the girls and i did that. it will definitely not be our last.
starring Emile Hirsh who plays Christopher McCandles, better known as Alexander Supertramp, Into the Wild is inspired by a true story. First made into a book before being filmed, it is about a brilliant college graduate who wanted to experience everything life had to offer. He gave away all his possessions, cut up his identity cards, and burnt all his cash. He did it all so he could make his Great Alaskan Adventure, and maybe he did it too, so that he would never be found. Maybe he asked for too much, or maybe people just don't ask enough.
