  • Sean Penn looks like drunk, and talks like a red face drunk.

  • SEAN IS AWESOME!

  • thank you sean penn for bringing this beautiful story onto film x

  • it's pretty simple.

    don't like sean penn?

    don't watch his interviews.

  • Sean Penn is such a fucking douche

  • does he make alot of money??? nd how much

    money do you thnk he has??

  • poor little sean how would he know about vengeance towards anyone but the paparazzi... he would know nothing about the plight of a soldier giving his time and life for his country...

  • poor little sean how would he know about vengeance towards anyone but the paparazzi... he would know nothing about the plight of a soldier giving his time and life for his country...

  • A STORY about a delusional young person wandering around and ends up getting himself killed.

    Sean Penn relates to it because he is Delusional!

    Other than that it reminds me of how far mankind has fallen into the abyss of self aggrandizing ignorance.

    I talked to Mr Knight at Salvation Mountain and he said it never happened.

    So like everything Sean Penn represents. It's a LIE!

  • @dorksayswhat

    I agree. Its like at first their was something sort of noble about the way he rejected it all & didnt want to conform thought everyone was so fake & there is too much superficialness these days but then hes all judgmental of every1 & pretends to be superior like uhh wait what the hell is so great about living on your own in the wild, if everyone did that we'd be a lousy society, besides u only proved you had no clue what u were doing & ur lack of preparation killed u

  • Drugged up filth!!

  • my dad loved him. lol.

  • fuck this loser asshole, dumps robin wright

    for the she male scarlet j.

    i mean he already has been married to

    a man, i.e. mandonna,

    yeah, harvey milk loves cock

    sean penn is an asshole

  • I started to read this book last week.....and I'm a 17 year old kid that hates reading....and I've never been so attracted to a story before in my life...it's an amazing book!

  • If you want to talk about an actor with something to say, an actor with incredible courage, an actor so brave he uses his celebrity to raise awareness about a disease that he can personally relate to, then that would have to be Michael J. Fox. He has, through his public persona as an actor and his strength of character as a man done more for informing the public about the disease which is Parkinsons than Sean Penn could ever hope to do about anything. Sean Penn is not cool, M.J.FOX is!

  • America is a beautiful country with beautiful people but with the occasionally bitter and ugly minded person like you instead of commending good things that other people are doing your attacking them go out of your rut and help people maybe it will make you feel better about your self and you can start thinking good and positive and happy for once i sense bitterness so much in you!!!!!!!!!!! Penn is one of the least person you should hate !!!!!! He has a good heart

  • i feel bad for you that you lived in the communist place and never learned anything but to be mean spirited and bitter while i know for the fact that communist or not communist if they lived a life of hardship they became more humble , i dont curse but to you i think your a shitty person @KCommiss !!!! what Penn is doing is a good thing as best as he can for us for every body somebody has to do this kindda job to stand for people and help a little bit of what he can and what do you do? nothing

  • fucking Sean Penn is a Legend

  • You freaks, altogether with Sean Penn - you spit on America. One day big chinese foot will stomp over all of you and just enjoy its time there, while you are doing their laundry and washing. Yes, go on and spit on America, civilization, free market - mind my words while you collect your yuan pension in some next 30 years or so.

  • @leihoa you're delusional!!! free market?! what free market...do your fucking research and let's get real here...what are you, a little fox news troll or something? scouring youtube leaving garbage comments on videos to lead the population to feel that there are actually people like you out there?! that there are actually people "in favour" of our current socio/economic "system", which undoubtedly is a complete and utter failure anyway you slice it. you're a minority now. better wake up

  • @KCommiss lol, American blindness. I have lived under communist leftist scum regime over 14 years! Do you understand what it means? No, you dont. You cant even imagine waiting in a queue 3 hrs to buy a loaf of bread. Be endlessly grateful that you were born and raised in capitalism, be gratful. Or emigrate to North Korea or Cuba and witness what is it like to live in system much different to the "failure" you describe. Now beat it.

  • Lots of young people run and hide from their dysfunctional families. Many have use drugs and alcohol as an escape / adventure, sometimes with deadly consequences.

    This guy used cross country travel and societal abandonment as his drug. He basically overdosed on some delusional notion that he could live a poetic solitary life in the wild unprepared. Sad but true.

  • 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.

  • You and the movie are absolutely......there isn't even a word to describe it....WOW

  • Into The Wild is a magnificent achievement. A rare modern day epic.

  • Say what you want about the man but you have to admit that Into the Wild was amazingly directed.

  • Why does it always seem he is always coked out his mind??

  • penn is the biggest fuck stick in hollywood,, he knows politics about as good as the homeless crack head on the street. Absolute libtard moron,,he and his kind are the reason this country is in the crapper now. And just look at all the mindless dumbass libtards jumping on board with him,, pathetic! Katie has turned into a complete ass too.

  • @h20fwler1 I'm sorry, is your country in the crap because of libtard's like Penn? I didn't know the 'libtards' were running the country! You had Bush in for 8 years, started 2 wars, one of which is unjustified. So are you classing Bush as a liberal? I see your country in the crapper because of fuckwits with your mindset, pushing the blame on liberals to offset the fact that your in the crapper because of people like you! If it's liberals running the country you better get back to Nazi germany!!!

  • @orbazel

    I'm sorry,, I couldn't read what you wrote because I was watching the news about all these dipshit libtards in England burning cars and getting beat down by cops (bobby's).

    You try and lamely criticize any other country? Who's country is in the crapper? Bawahahahahaha,,, nice epic fail dumbass!

    Your typing this in English and not German because of our "fuckwitts" you moron.

  • this dude used to be so cool back in the day. now the older you get the more of a dick you become

  • A true global citizen

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent movie I recently wrote I disliked his movies and loved his political view's but this movie was bad ass and I have been helicoptered into the middle gods country many times for work and have lived alone in a tent Prospecting for gold and I tell you this something happens out there and it gets very spirtual and you find (god) Mother Earth. The closest I could put it to would be the pagan religen before the Christian demonized it's ideals

  • Sean Penn should learn to lighten up in interviews a bit.

  • He went to ground zero post Katrina, he went with a riffle, and water. I loved it. He sent a message. DO SOMETHING MORE THAN LIP SERVICE.

    He wanted to help people.Black White Hispanic.....he wanted to help

  • No matter what side you are on, very few people think for themselves an longer.

  • what a wise man!

  • he allways looks drunk lol

  • He really face a wonderful face...but knows how to disguise himself by hiding that hair...and shaving. He can really disappear. I'm sorry he isn't going tom play larry of the Stooges...I think he would have been brilliant..plus he's got a healthy snozz to match larry's.

    Brilliant guy...all real.

  • that was the best movie he maid

  • Sean Penn should have retired after Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

  • @dahoss2x

    Check out Terance Malick's The Thin Red Line.

  • @dahoss2x why?

  • @MultiBert87 Because after his stoner role, he can only play retards with any success. Additionally, he is a Commie bastard who should have overdosed like his fat-ass brother did. Fuck Penn!

  • @dahoss2x he has only played a mentally challenged character once in his career. why do you think he is a communist? just becuase he speaks out against what he feels is wrong? Because in a communist state you wouldn't be able to to do that. You sound very ill informed.

  • @MultiBert87 Lets see... He visited Venezuela, is buddies with Hugo Chavez. He idolizes Che Guevara, loves Cuba. You are the "ill informed" one.

  • @dahoss2x He went to venezuela to interview and write an article about chavez.. i dont think che is his idol, but whats wrong with Cuba?

  • @MultiBert87 He bashes Bush, yet cuddles up to Communist dictators? Whats wrong with Cuba? Fidel, Communism. The Nuge rocks! You obviously dont recognize top notch guitar talent. DUMBASS!

  • @dahoss2x Venezuela isn't a communist state; if it wernt for chavez that country would be in absolute shambles. He bashes Bush in relation to Iraq (remember when he lied about everything)?. He' has never talked in support of Fidel Castro, or communism. Im sure he can play gutair well, but writing a decent song is far from that.

  • @MultiBert87 You dont think that Hugo Chavez or Fidel is a Communist Dictator? Get your head examined. Both of these murderers stole the businesses from American corporations that had built them. They have sham elections that keep them permanently in power for life. Pull your head out of your ASS for just a minute.

  • @dahoss2x

    Boy are you clueless. Venezuela is no "communist state", moron. Hugo Chavez is not and has never been any sort of Marxist. The smears you hear about him are Imperialist propaganda with little or no basis in reality. You have terrible taste in music and no mind of your own.

  • why the hell is one comment removed & all these other bull sh!t comments not -BRAINWASH-

  • @2ammy

    Maybe the comment used language fit for a dumpster.

  • ted would tear this crybaby up.

  • I wanna see Penn lip off in front of Ted Nugent sometime...

  • @STPdemon ted nugent's music is terrible

  • dude he is so blazzed right there lol

    HEY WHATS YOUR DEAL BUD!

    YOU DICK!

  • Anyone who is making off comments about sean is clearly insecure and jealous becuase there little egos at stake. He is a very telented man and a human beiing who makes mistakes like everyone else including you.

  • ...and i've always kinda', celebrated my own intrest in, judging a book by it's cover... Sean Penn is a self absorbed, pontificating, narcissist. He is bored with his life and desperately want's to escape being nothing more than a celebrity. Sean Penn represents everything wrong with humanity. From his failed marrige to a whore and his stupid pseudo political babble; nothing can escape the gravity of his ego.

  • Everybody hates the USA, even those who live in it. We would be better off without those fuckin states.

  • @Kroxeldiphibic lets take count of how many people kill themselves just to get to the US and how many to canada.

  • Sean Penn is a very PROUD American who happens to be mindful, intelligent and observant enough to think for himself. He gives a damn. Which is more than I can say for those idiots trashing him.

  • @Softbird27 YOU DICK!

  • @Softbird27 He hangs out with and praises dictators, such as Hugo Chavez, who brutalizes the very people that elected him. There is nothing intelligent about him. Liberalism is indicative of mental illness, not intelligence.

  • @astrolifter I disagree with you.

  • @Softbird27 If you run it through a search engine, you'll find articles talking about his meetings with chavez and other dictators. Penn is typical of the hollywood royality, running his mouth about things he doesn't have a clue about. They don't live in the real world, but rather a sheltered one.

  • @astrolifter Generally speaking of "Hollywood Royalty" I agree with you. Sean Penn is a different creature. He genuinely cares which is why he spends time in places such as Haiti or goes and meets dictators, etc. You're not going to get me to dislike Sean or his politics. I think he's great.

  • @Softbird27 A lot of sagitarius women would I suppose...

  • @astrolifter LOL I'm a Scorpio. So you know a Scorpio will argue until a new world has been built.

  • Comment removed

  • I just came to this sight to read comments from the 12 people that watch this loser hack on the news every night. It's funny that Couric is one of the left's best and brightest, right behind Janeane Garafolo and Rachel "I teabagged Anderson Cooper" Maddow!

  • Anything for ratings.Katie,You are a WHORE.

  • Two socialists.I soon hope you join Ted The Liberal Liar Kennedy.

  • jesus, do you guys leave a comment every time you see Penn?? leave your comments on glen beck or something. No one wants to read your conservative shit.

  • You evidently only want those who agree with whatever this second-generation fifth-columnist spews, based on your contempt for any views that do not fall in to lockstep with the radical liberal-leftist agenda.

  • You commie socialist!

    You pay almost a 3rd of everything you earn to taxes and you expect something back for it?

    Don't you know your tax dollars should only be spent to blow up brown people in foreign countries and make a few rich guys richer?

    Sieg Bush!

    Fascism is the only path for true patriots!!!!!

    You only deserve the freedom to have your rights taken away!!! That's TRUE freedom!!!

    !

  • ummm, yeah... sure man. I recommend you get back on your meds.

  • Yeah I probably should...

  • what's wrong with sociaism? I don't understand the fear for it.... socialism s not comunism... and even, what have you read about comunism??

  • If you think socialism is so great, go move to Europe . . . and if you think Communism is so great, move to Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea or China.

  • Obviously nothing, Neo Cons and Repubs never research anything they speak of.....

  • Born into wealth. A rich kid that never really had to get an education because he had hollywood connections. He was indoctrinate by his communist father. and never bothered to learn the truth for himself. Yeah he really "feels" for the poor from inside his big mansion! Meanwhile his idol Chavez spends the country's wealth on fighter planes and tanks that they don't need while the people don't have milk, sugar, eggs or electricity now! Penn is an idiot.

  • Penn gives legitimacy to dictators. The people of these countries want freedom and we never hear from those people.

  • how much do you americans spend in military.... 2 billion and counting now... for the irak war... don give that bs... Chavez is going to be throughout history one of the best men that ever exited

  • Wow...you people are incredible...yes, he was great in "Sam" but what an awful movie, no he is not on coke in this interview, he is completely lucid and sober...finally, "Into the Wild" was a great artistic achievement and one of the most amazing films made in the last decade...enough said.

  • lol.....he is not wrong on everything...

  • ...and you can blow his cock while he blows the coke.

  • All i need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and i'll be fine!

  • hey SAM

  • Emile Hirsch can act. He is an Actor.

  • why do look up videos to find find some how there is always a fight about something in the comments stop bitching about shit already

  • Sean Penn is the man of truth :)

  • @ilovepanslabyrinth<------MORO­N ALERT!

  • @ilovepanslabyrinth Sean Penn is a man of the DOUCHE!

  • Comment removed

  • shut up dumb. that was awesome lords of dogtown was awesome girl next door was awesome and alpha dog was awesome. dumb.

  • Really? And HOW many movies of his have you seen?

    And it's Hirsch not Hearsh.

  • Who ever casted him should be fired.

  • the way penn hypes up all of the things emile did, such as "monk like existence", and "leaving our crew behind", does not make me any more impressed about his performance. i think those comments a bigger than the movie itself.

  • Sean Penn is cool!

  • Where was Sean after hurrican Ike in Houston..... I kept looking him but no Sean. LOL

  • what a great movie -- and emile hirsh was amazing,hope to see more of that guy -- as for sean penn,do yourself a favour and see the indian runner if you wanna see some great direction,and as far as penn the actor,i just saw the assasination of richard nixon which blew my mind

  • Cuba Libre!!!!!! Free Cuba!!!!! abajo fidel!!!!abajo con el communismo!!!!!

  • machapocalypse. penn is still laid back, he is an advocate for the issues that really matter now, your government wants to be laid back and completely at ease but what they actually want is you, the citizen, the voter, to be submissive, comforted by your television and you false sense of unity, penn is the fucking man !

  • Heh, is it just me or does Sean Penn always sound like he's fighting back tears?

  • Right, I totally agree! Seems like he is in constant pain. Maybe one of the reasons why he is such a great actor....?

  • You're probably right; I haven't seen a lot of his stuff, but thought he was great in 'Carlito's Way'

  • Theres Too Many Proximities and Untruthful complexitations that come into Timed distrase and morham that indistricts different constrictions and multitudes of International oppressions against Outer Nations and Penn's Point Of View Somewhat Suppresses the Actuality that comes into the military minds of International Terrorism

  • The first question was, how did you discover this movie; and he responded, i did so by seeing a book in a store, then by meeting the family over several meetings which ended up turning into ten years of nothing, then I was able to make the movie.

    The second question was, how surprised were you when you found out that it was going to work out, and what did they say to you?

  • 2. Answer: well, i got a call, i verfied, it was real, then I jumped around the room a bit, then we set up a meeting--they wanted to see where I was. More than surprise, I just put it all on paper. Next question, how did you find the main actor? Answer; I saw the character and just felt he was it. (then he elaborates on the requirements necessary for this character and says that the actor was perfect in those ways).

  • 3. Regarding your criticism on his "drawn-out", "grammatically disfunctional" sentences: U were wrong. He merely incorporated a few words between the lines. Though, if u had paid attention, u would have seen that this meant his wanting to include more abstract ideas, which make concision that much harder. Using unidentified clauses in one's explanations doesnt make u a bad speaker. And, it isnt always easy, and takes practice. So, what?--he was imperfect as a speaker? Welcome to life!

  • this conversation somehow veered off course...

    I thought I was going into the wild... not in the den of armchair political debates.

  • you were going into the wild and, if you had listened, that is exactly what he spoke about. He did not mention any political subject whatsoever.

  • oh, no I was commenting on the comments that seem pretty unrelated to the video...

  • "opposed going to war with Hitler, and was against giving England the tools to stand against the Nazi blitzkrieg in the Battle of Britain. Leo's tune changed once Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, then he was for the Allied side" Ask yourself this question;

    Who financed both sides?

    Then ask yourself what descendent of George Bush got popped for "Trading with the Enemy"?

    Google Averril Herriman, then Prescott Bush.

  • what is wrong with democratic socialism? you are all scared of what? Right now..all the banks are owned by the feds. are u blind or what.

  • gladiator1010, Are you Protestant or Catholic?

  • "we will NEVER have a socialist nation"

    just like scientists in 1890:

    "man will NEVER fly"

    or like this:

    NOT EVEN GOD could sink the titanic

    yes...let's rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic and pretend that we no longer have a gaping hole which is seeping enough water into our boat to sink us to the bottom in minutes..don't worry folks, your blind captain that ran into an iceberg is looking for the source of the hole...he'll fix it...we promise

  • If we go, you go to baby! Europe"s bail out dwarfs USA's..$2.3 trillion! We will never be a socialist nation. We are in a time of financial crises and to do nothing would be devastating to all of us, Europe included. Be thankful and remember who helped you guys out in the 1940's. I dont mind doing my part and paying my taxes. Man this world has truly become a nation of cry babies. My Dad was hungry during the depression and my uncle got shot up in WW2..They truely we're the greatest generation.

  • So your answer to why we have all these problems in society is to "not look at them or talk about them" and just accept that life is shit, you just need to keep doing the same "things" over and over and never expect life to get better ("things" like paying taxes, voting, killing yourself in some foreign country, etc.)....great advice...how many colleges did you go to to come up with that intelligent understanding of our current reality?

  • Regardless of Sean's paternal history. He speaks his mind. And his basis for his world view is the truth. Bush,cheney & their lot LIED TO THE WORLD..which brought us this NEW BIG LIE. IRAQ. I heard his views and cannot understand why people are so asleep that they buy into "THE BIG LIE". Bush,cheney and Co. are LIARS. And as Vincent Bugliosi so eloquently presents in his book. "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder", Bush & Co. should ALL BE IN PRISON. WAKE UP AMERICA!

  • Sadly there is socialism amongst jew's, still lurking in our world today.

  • So how exactly would you classify the wall street bail-out as being anything other than a socialist policy? Federal intervention in Bears & Stern? AIG? Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac?

    And who do you suppose will end up paying for it all?

    How did republican Kaptur put it... "privatising the gains to the few, whilst socialising the losses to the many"

    It seems to work well when it suits you, yes?

  • Sean Penn is a second-generation fifth-columnist, as his father Leo Penn was a Communist who, from 1939 to '41, opposed going to war with Hitler, and was against giving England the tools to stand against the Nazi blitzkrieg in the Battle of Britain. Leo's tune changed once Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, then he was for the Allied side. Because his Soviet puppetmasters told him to change his position.

    Next stop........... North Korea.

  • A January 2006 Editorial in the Washington Post, reads, "In Venezuela, poverty rose from 43 to 53 percent during Mr. Chavez's first six years in office."

  • My statistic of 23% is a little high but it depends on which social group & ethnicty you ask.For example American agriculture relies heavily on "illegal imigrants" these people contribute massivley to the US economy and in return are paid and treated very poorly, the US government knows this goes on and,i'm sure these individuals were not included in the latest round of figures. As for Chavez having been there myself it is noticeable on the ground many good transformations are being implemented.

  • 23% of north americans living in poverty under a self proclaimed "war pres". So much energy on nuturing global hatred and, descending further into financial chaos while the U.S government bails out the millionaires at U.S taxpayers expense.KNOW your enemy.

    Now is the time to defend Venezuela and Chavez against U.S aggresion. Dont trust your big business sympathetic "leaders" You have the power, wake up and live. Kudos to

    Penn it would be a lot easier to do nothing.The world needs a better U

  • First of all I live in Canada, We never used WMD'S on anybody! and the poverty rate in Canada has fallen dramatically to about 6.6 percent, more than a six-fold decrease in the last few decades! In the USA 12% to 16% are living below the federal poverty line.

    So get your facts right!

    I wonder what the Great Chavez is doing about the poverty rate is in Venezuela?

  • Sean Penn; hollywood actor/moviestar turned liberal /activist windbag. Sean penn is becoming the "Hanoi jane" of his generation!

    He seems okay with domestic violence though, but not violence against the terrorists that attack the U.S. No wonder he can't hold on to his women! Sean, go live with your anti-American friends if you love socialism so much! Any supporter of Hugo Chavez is an outright Communist, no exceptions.

  • You should leave the house once in a while, the only country to use WMDS on humankind, your living in it. Lose the Nationalism it clouds your development and judgement. You are one of billions.

  • seans cool

  • AsJunior,

    Your sub-human...

  • suk my BALLS bitch.

  • LOL, bitch u'r acct. is suspended. WAT UP?

  • English is my second language and i speak & right it better than you assholejunior. Did you actually attend any school?

    Alcohol & cocaine are American past-times...

    I can't believe someone can be as retarded as you my friend, I can't believe your writing...lol...nobody can be as foolish as you are and still be alive, I can't believe you can even operate a computer-i'm truly amazed right now. I'm not surprised your a Sean Penn fan though, that fits.

  • Your beyond retarded...

  • ahahhah n u say u spek it beter dan me. GO FK URSELF HOMO. sean penn is awsom n u cnt chang that BITCH.

  • You talk about being liberal thinking, being "left" as being this awful thing.....what's your problem, guys? I'd rather a compassionate, logical, thoughtful attitude than the dangers that the right wing excudes....they're the true "nut jobs" as you say, in my humble opinion

  • Sean Penn goes to places to find out what is happening rather than reading the newspapers full of propaganda. He is a truth seeker. He also knows he is famous so he speaks out about what he sees to help the world. Anyone who puts him down is ignorant.

  • nummer 1 sean penn wie love you man

  • Not a fan of Penn but this story and movie is amazing
