| Boilerpipe Text | Into the Wild (2007)
In director/writer Sean Penn's documentary-styled,
ill-fated odyssey and biopic drama, based upon Jon Krakauer's 1996
non-fiction book, it told about a quest for self-discovery by an
adventurous individual who hiked across North America and into the
Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s.
With a budget of $15 million, it grossed revenues
of $18.4 million (domestic) and $56.7 million (worldwide).
in the opening scene (actually a concluding sequence)
titled "Final Chapter: Getting of Wisdom," free-spirited,
idealistic, arrogant college-grad adventurer Christopher McCandless
(Emile Hirsch) (who had renamed himself
"Alexander Supertramp") arrived at a remote portion
of Alaska (known as Healy, north of Denali National Park) in 1992
he had
forsaken his estranged
family and many friends along his wanderlust journey; he set up
a camp inside an abandoned city bus ("The
Magic Bus");
there, he began to live a life of isolation, diary-writing, and hunting
for sustenance
a flashback returned to two years earlier, when
he graduated from Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia); he was quickly
disillusioned by modern and "corrupt" civilization (after he learned
he had been born out-of-wedlock); he began a cross-country drive
that ended near Las Vegas where he abandoned his car and began
hitchhiking; he wandered to N. California, then back to South Dakota,
down to Mexico, and west to Los Angeles,
taking odd jobs and having various misadventures
on the S. California border
with Mexico in the Sonoran Desert, he had a
brief encounter at an RV park with teenaged Tracy Tatro (Kristen Stewart),
a guitar player who was introduced to him as "little
Joni Mitchell" - and he spent an enjoyable but brief time with
her
he also met up, a month later at the Salton Sea
(California) with kindly, elderly widower and leather worker Ron
Franz (Oscar-nominated Hal Holbrook); they had a discussion on
a rocky hilltop - where they both climbed up - to talk about where
to find human happiness:
"From
the bits and pieces I've put together, you know, from what you told
me about your family, your mother and your dad, and I know you've
got your problems with the church too, but there's some kind of bigger
thing we can all appreciate, and it sounds like you don't mind calling
it God. But when you forgive, you love, and when you love, God's
light shines on you"
two months later, during their tearful and heartfelt
parting scene just before Ron dropped off hitchhiking 'Alex' at the
start of his Alaskan adventure, he proposed paternalistically to
adopt 'Alex' as his grandchild:
"You
know, my, uh, my mother was an only child and so was my father,
and, uh, I was their only child, so, uh, when I'm gone, I'm
the end of the line. My family will be finished. What do you
say you let me adopt you? I can be, say, your grandfather."
unfortunately,
'Alex' demurred:
"Ron, could we talk about this when I get back from Alaska? Would
that be okay?"
but they would never have another opportunity
to speak
the final scene flashed-forward about four months
in Alaska to find Chris' prolonged, lonely, and painful death due
to starvation and poisoning after eating inedible Wild Sweet Peas
(mistaken for Wild Potato Alaska Carrot) - his final words were scrawled
in block letters into his journal:
"HAPPINESS
ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED"
two weeks
later, his body was found by moose-hunters
there was incredible pull-back shot from his face
(as a single tear dropped from the corner of his right eye and
then his left eye) as he gazed up at the light in the back of his
abandoned 'magic bus' home (an IH 1946 abandoned bus) and expired
the last image of the film was an actual
self-portrait photograph of Chris sitting next to his bus
Tracy (Kristen Stewart) with Christopher McCandless (Emile
Hirsch)
Christopher's (or Alex's) Encounter with Ron Franz
(Hal Halbrook)
