  • I love that movie...

  • great and inspiring movie. so touching and moving! Bravo to Christopher MC Candless and Sean Penn and Jon Krakauer!

  • Sean Penn is a liberal faggot

  • @TheBuckpole says the conservative asshole.

  • @Swood44 Well, someone had to say it. Might as well be the conservative asshole right?

  • @TheBuckpole you can say that again...

  • For those who want to find more about the true story behind Chris McCandless, here's a link to the write-up of the documentary The Call of the Wild by its maker, which states all facts:

    tifilms[dot]com/wild/call_debu­nked.htm

    I consider The Call of the Wild to be even better than Into the Wild by the way, it's way more truthful to the story which allows it to have an even more powerful message.

  • Chris was certainly an inspirational person, his view on life ignites a desire that's inside all of us to experience life to the fullest before we die. It's too bad though that Into The Wild and the book, while still great, don't show some very important facts. For example, he didn't die of poisoning but simply of starvation, and he did have money on him as well as several ID's AND a MAP!

    It's all explained in the documentary called The Call of the Wild, made simultaneously with Into the Wild.

  • My advice is read the book before you see the movie. The image that Sean Penn gained of Chris was very positive, you may read the book and get a negative impression of Chris. I enjoyed the movie very very much, but its a shame that so many people fail to form there own opinion on Chris based on Sean Penn's view of Chris.

  • The distress note below was purposely not part of the movie.

    Attention possible visitors. "S.O.S. I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak too hike out of here. I am all alone, this is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless. August ?"

    He screwed up and in the end no longer though of himself as the free-spirit Alex Supertramp.

    Movie romantic, reality not.

  • I've only watched half of this last night on Film 4. I'm now going to buy the DVD so I can watch the full movie and read the book. An unforgettable film....Chris may have lived a short life but he died happy and fulfilled his dreams.

  • @chichay73  See distress note!

  • @demarch77

    How's life?

  • one of best movies EVER. U must see it.

    the ending is so hard to accept, is so brutal and the phrase is a real....

    "Happiness Only Real When Shared" ....2 days i saw the movie and i cant forget the story.

    God bless u Chris, RIP.

  • I saw the Movie Into the Wild I almos Cry

    when the Guy lesf the old Man the have not Family.Good job Sean Penn.

  • Is it me, or does Sean Penn seem retarded or possibly intoxicated here?

  • maybe a long night and just tired ;)

  • josh 24805... perfectly clear to me.... just intelligent... look it up in the dic.

  • I just looked up asshole. And saw your picture next to it.

  • Sean is a hard man to like his face has a cast of volitility which is offputting,however I admire his talent and agree with him politically.

  • Maybe tired!

    But he looks odd, you spotted well,

    cheerz

  • Sean Penn is an inspiration actor. He could be doing second grade films but he chooses to act in films that make the viewer feel good about the movie they've just seen. Sure, he's rich as hell but that doesn't make him a bad person. He's doing what he loves, making others feel good while making money off of it. He's not scheming. Try bashing some of the corporate fucks. They're more wealthy than Sean Penn will ever be. Take your head out of the sand, man.

  • demarch 77, judging from your comments your obviously a well traveled person who knows alot about the world. mccandless was obviously half the man you are for following his dreams. he probably accomplished more in the last two years of his life and actually "lived" more than you could ever imagine you arrogant skidmark. i cant understand how you could hate him so much. i wonder is it him or did sean penn just blank you on the street one day?

  • DEMARCH77......For someone who detests Chris McCandless you seem to know a lot about the man..... Mabe you have a secret facination with the great man. Mabe your in denial about your sexuality and fancy getting fucked up the arse in the wild.

    PLEASE.....ANYONE ON YOUTUBE LIKE DEMARCH77... STOP POINTING YOUR DWARF LIKE FINGERS AT OTHER PEOPLE AND JUDGING THEM WHEN YOU HAVENT GOT A CLUE YOU DAMAGED LITTLE BASTARDS..

  • At least Chris followed his dreams, he might have died because of it but that was a risk he was ready to take. The fact you call him an idiot makes you even worse then sean penn. Sean maybe living in luxery but atleast he respected what Chris did to follow his dream, you surely don't..

  • @over18XD thats not all right what you say .. he wasnt clever .. he would life if he prepaired himself.

    the true story : three miles away there were some houses .. and he would find helf .. but he hadnt a good map of alaska. so he was stupid .. because when somone want to life in the wildness he have to learn it. outherwise you have no chance to survive.

  • @LusiLu93 correction - he did have a map and he was still an idiot. it's been stated by officials that he was a danger to himself because of his inexperience - he could have walked out of his precicament at almost any time, and every single decision he made was incorrect leading to his own demise..., and for people to hero worship him is simply silly.  sean penn romances this moron and glosses over a great many facts. very few ppl would try something this stupid without a better plan.

  • Sean Penn might be choosing a different life then Christopher McCandless, but really made a very good and meaningfull film about a man who's not naive or an idiot, but who is finding his way to ultimate hapiness and freedome. Everyone has his on way of doing this, and so has sean..

    so fuck off demarch77

  • Easy Rider is the perfect comparison to this movie. Ultimately about soul searching and tragedy.

  • Our generation now has it's Easy Rider

  • My favorite part of this movie is when Chris is watching the caribou in the snow running around. He just looks so happy and content.

    It always makes me want to cry.

  • Sad movie/ reminds me of grizzley man/

    Adventureous and troubled youth/ sad sad sad.

  • where can i watch this movie online?

  • Buy it! Its worth it

  • sean penn is the shit!!!

  • God sean pean does his homework with this movie, i think the best actor/director because george cloony had to pay the oscurs get the oscur because sryna was not that great and cloony sucked, always sounds the same

  • MAybe everyone is grieving?Doth they protst too much?

  • come on people lets stop fighting an argument when your al making yourselves look petty !

    The book and the movie moved us all in some way and chris did something tangible no matter what your opinion...

    But using this place for a immature text argument ! come on I'm sure your better than this...

    I was moved by the simple 'core' story of Chris's travels and like everyone have questioned his motives but he lived in the 'land of the free and the home of the brave'

    Thank you Sean and John

  • your a true american loser

  • yes you are shacklefordsystems

  • It is spelled "you're" rather than "your." I figured you'd like to know.

  • one of the best inspirational movies i ever seen

  • hmm i think you are missing the point, the story is great and noble a modern day philospher on a queste because he can yes true enough but isn't that alway's the case ... sure lots of people will make tons of of chris's legacy but hell without them i never would have been inspired by his tale.

  • rich boy denies his riches that real free and homeless would give for to seek out nature and freedom his rich mommy and daddy writes a book he was college educated sean penn ed vedder how bullshit can all this be i dont believe none of it media fukwhores milking the abstract media lovers for the royal penny you all persue gofuk yourselves yourall fake lieng media whore zombie robots this CM and his family withelvis&tupac are sittinsomewherecountingdollars howmany homelessdidyoupassBYtothetheat­re

  • Somebody please take the meth away from this man.

  • Thank you, Sean Penn, for making this magnificent film;

    Thank you, John Krakauer, for writing the story of this incredible quest;

    Thank you, ArtisanNewsService, for posting this clip.

  • and Thank you, christopher mc candless for teaching us something REAL

  • Thank you, David Hassellhoff, for showing us what a real man's chest hairs should look like.

  • ahahaahah how funny you are!!! you must be incredibly smart aren't you?? mmm no, maybe you are not, after all, you are only a dirtbag

  • What kind of response is that? It's not even remotely funny. My God, this is what happens when people try to speak English. It's like listening to Borat. And "dirtbag?" Who says that? Are you from Cuba? Will somebody please send me a real insult rather than this garbage? Oh, and by the way, USA rules!

  • no, i'm from italy, i'm sorry if my english is not perfect stupid motherfucker, shut up and die

  • Shut up and die? That's the best insult you can come up with? No wonder we had to spank you during World War 2!

  • oh my god, oh my god!! you are so smart.. SO SMART... i'm cumming everywhere because of your hyper-intelligence.. please stop writing so smart things pleeeeaseee ahhhhh ohhhhh yeeaaaaahh

  • Once again, you have failed to respond to my superior insult with anything of minor intelligence. I have proven who the superior victor truly is. You have been beaten, defeated, bested, bettered and conquered. Kneel before Zod, Son of Jorel!

  • You can have my mom...as long as I get your Dad! He's such a manly man with his thick shlong and his pillow-talk! The way he moves his tongue makes my toes curl!

  • lucky you...

  • lol. you guys are so stupid.

  • Thank you, Colonel Sanders, for your secret blend of herbs and spices.

  • best movie i have seen in a long time

  • I agree. I haven't been this inspired since "Police Academy 4."

  • me encanta sean penn waw!!!!!!!

  • Best film in years.

  • "Into The Wild" IS an exceptional film.

    But there is another film I would add to the "best film in years" category :

    David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises" is a knock-out & deals with very real issues, too.

  • an amazing film

  • sexy
