Based on a true story. The plot helps us understand, without prejudice and with our eyes wide open, why a young man with a bright future decided to withdraw from society and seek himself amidst nature. A thoroughly engrossing odyssey, though the ending leaves a sour taste in the mouth, as if weâve lost a friend.

I got into this movie without knowing anything and felt the start was boring, but when it gets going u start connecting to the main lead who acted his heart out and wow I started feeling his pain his happiness, i still feel that the movie was a little too long but the ending was a shock, I did not expect that and was completely blown away and when I got to know that the story was real , it hurt more, a few scenes do make you shed some tears and overall a very good movie 7.8/10

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e eu até recomendo esse filme.

Into the Wild is an endurance test for both its protagonist and its audience. Part travel diary, part moral study. Kit calls it "a film that reminds you to question every âshould.â" Cade describes it as "arthouse survival... hard to rewatch, impossible to forget." Both rate it 3.5: essential once, maybe never again, but it stays with you.

Ok, it's a well made and well acted movie that had a decent amount of acclaim when it came out- My problem is it overdramatizes the lead who is a real person and you wonder how he could be such an idiot. You can't cross a river? Try walking a few miles down to where it might be fordable= they all are somewhere? I'm sorry the dude died but he was a moron.

With his sturdy cast and confident direction, Sean Penn has turned a complex work of non-fiction like *Into the Wild* into an accessible and poignant character study.

Anyone whoâs read Jon Krakauerâs best-selling nonfiction account knows the details, but actually seeing McCandlessâs travels is still thrilling. Yet... are we Âsupposed to salute this foray into the wild or shake our heads at the sheer Âidiocy?

Even Penn's more indulgent flourishes seem to enhance the film's keen feeling.

Alejandro E @Alex970 Mar 14 Based on a true story. The plot helps us understand, without prejudice and with our eyes wide open, why a young man with a bright future decided to withdraw from society and seek himself amidst nature. A thoroughly engrossing odyssey, though the ending leaves a sour taste in the mouth, as if weâve lost a friend.
