This movie and book, touched me greatly! I felt it when he found his meaning of life "Happiness is only real when shared" I felt it when he poisoned himself accidentally. I just wish I could be like him and to live uncommitted and to live deliberately!
In my opinion it's not itchy feet. It's that you want to live what you feel, you want to live what you believe in and you stand by, represent and actually do what you say, feel or belive.
He choose to do it in Alaska but everyone can do it not by going into the wild but in the everyday life.
Maybe that's just me, but I think that was his message.
he didnt survive,yes, but he didin't fail. He wanted pure liberty and he got it . But your liberty stops where someone or something else's starts. and nature took control over him . we can't go over nature's liberty thats why he died.
he wanted to eat, he was hungry, it wasn't a choice, he was so hungry that he had to eat those plants, he was praying for animals to come cuz he was starving!
If it wasn't for a small mistake McCandles would not have died when he did. He lasted four months on his own in the Alaskan wilderness, that's three months and 29 days more than most of us would.
@alexmigda he didnt just starve. he died due to the mold that was in the plants he ate, causing indegestion. even professional plant people wouldve had a hard time finding this
Where's the evidence? Krakaur's imagination doesn't count. The evidence of Chris's food diary demonstrates that he wasn't eating enough and the only likely cause of death was starvation.
@alexmigda Do you really think that not eating was a choice made by McCandless? I think surviving as long as he did out there with as little as he had is pretty amazing. It's not like there was food all around and he chose not to eat. He probably spent most of his time and energy foraging and hunting, fighting to provide even a little bit of food.

@alexmigda This discussion will go nowhere if all you do is repeatedly state your position without providing any evidence. How come it was a choice not to eat? I stated why it wasn't a choice. Now provide me with something suggesting it was.
You are the one without evidence. He CHOSE to go out there, he CHOSE not to bring enough food, and he CHOSE not to leave as he slowly starved to death. Nobody forced him to do it. It was a choice. It's a pretty simple concept. Show me some evidence that he was forced to go out and starve himself to death in Bumfuck Alaska.
@alexmigda Evidence he tried to eat: the pictures of him with the porcupine and other animals he hunted, the journal entries about eating berries and trying to eat the moose. The argument is not about his choice to go to Alaska, or the choices he made about what to bring with him. It was about whether he chose to eat or not. Also, he did try to leave, and COULDN'T because of the river.
He may have eaten all that was available in that area, but he could have walked out. He chose to be there and do that. He had a road map, and there was a road that he could get to without crossing the river. He knew this. He wasn't very far from civilization. Big surprise...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@alexmigda I haven't seen images of the actual journal entries but according to the quotes I've read from them he truly believed that he was trapped. There was also a ranger's station nearby that he didn't know about. I don't believe it was his choice to die out there.
He didn't want to die, but he died because of his own actions and not by some freak accident. That was the story that Hollywood and Jon Krakauer didn't want to tell.
You retard, what is he anorexic now? Did he "not want" to eat because he was self conscious about his weight? (Yes, i'm being sarcastic) It's not like food was put in front of him and he refused! And why would he take a lot of food with him when he wanted to live off the land?!
My point is that he failed. He wasn't some great survivor. He just didn't realize that he was slowly starving until the point where he was too weak to do anything about it. The river was not what prevented him from reaching civilization. He could have done that in just a day or two of walking. He's also the prime suspect in the vandalism of some cabins in that area.
The river was too dangerous to cross, and he didnt have a map to pinpoint where he could cross (the point was to walk into the wild). He provided food for months during the most difficult seasons. It was mould on the seeds he ate that poisoned him.
He had a road map. There was a road that he could have gotten to without crossing the river.
There is no real evidence that he was poisoned. The story of the mould was made up by Krakauer when people pointed out that lab tests refuted his original claim about a poisonous plant. There is also no evidence of the mould that Krakauer speaks of ever being in that area or growing on that species of plant. I thought I had made this clear.
Alright chikadee, poisoned or not poisoned, dead or alive- I respect and admire this man... and the fact that he wasnt around to tell his tale shouldnt diminish what he achieved. I just think the word failure could be revised. "How high can you fly before the sun melts the wax in your wings" ?
The poison interferes with your metabolism and its extremely difficult to keep on weight after they have been consumed- especially if you are as thin as he was. Before he was poisoned he was perfectly fit- I think after two years of going hungry he'd know if he was starving. I dont think he failed, he inspired me and perhaps many more. His last words written were " I have had a happy life and thank the lord. Goodbye and may god bless all. "
@honeypulse He also wrote (according to the movie) "Happiness only real when shared". Which I read as he was unhappy while he was out there, since he was alone.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that was his major weakness as a person. What I got from the 'Happiness is only real when shared' bit, is that he was happy out there, but knowing that he would die alone, he felt that he should've shared that happiness with someone.
Which brings to point, my opinion of his weakness. He was happy, and he was alone. Happiness is real, regardless of whose company you're in.
@theer1ca I see your point, but to feel a connection with other people is just human. Sure, what he did was amazing, but does anybody want to die all alone and not have shared there happiness with someone?
My point is that he didn't realize he was slowly starving until he was too weak to do anything about it. If he did realize it, then he chose to die. If he didn't realize it, then he's just an idiot. He wasn't some great survivor. The river was not what was keeping him from civilization. It would have only taken him a day or two to walk out. He was also the prime suspect in the vandalism of some cabins in the area.
if you need a movie of great survivors, choose, I dont know, maybe tarzan, indiana jones, resident evil or smth. I think the point of this movie was not the quality or consistency of the adventures, but the philosophy and uniqueness of the character, in this place - the real person.
The lab tests showed that the seeds themselves were not poisonous. The author of "into the wild' does not dispute this. His claim is that McCandless kept the seeds in a bag which became moldy with a type of mold that can inhibit the absorption of nutrients.
i did not understand what vince vaugn's charecter did wrong, in relation to the law, why he was put in prison? some reference to little black boxes. tax evasion?
havent read the book in awhile but im sure the little black boxes were something to do with being able to watch TV for free without havent to pay tax, not sure though...
Agreed Swordfish356.. He did a damn good job, and if he got poisoned, he made one mistake. Think of how many an average dude would make within those four months in Alaska. Or the other one and a half year he was road-tripping..
Well Alexmidga i don't agree. He did after all survive for 4 months or so in the wild on hes own with out much or any experience. And after all no one actually knows, Weather he died from starvation or Poisoning.
well... he had a lot of experience. did u read the book?
this wasnt his first "adventure"
it was a tragedy because alaska is sooo sparce. they say many have died doing this specifically in alaska. i dont know, i read the book haha and they say the autopsy showed he died of starvation. where did u get ur info from? read the book. its a great book.
You shouldn't believe everything you read. Krakauer pulled that out of his ass. Lab tests didn't actually show that any of those plants were poisonous. The actual evidence shows that he slowly starved to death over the entire 4 month period.
That wasn't confirmed though, the author just said that is one way he could have died as he had a journal entry about bad seeds. Autopsy said he dided of starvation
I have new respect for Sean Penn and even greater respect for Emil Hirsch after seeing this movie. I first saw Emil in Lords of Dogtown. Great performance Great movie and a great Jon Krakauer book. I hope Emil does more movies like "Into the Wild' and please no more Speed Racer. It is just such an exreme waste of talent.
i refused to watch this movie for so long cuz i didnt want anyone to ruin it for me or twisted in someway but the people who acted in this film were very much how they suposed to be in the book and this guy right here really did justice to chris's character and did a good job
I know they meant for this film to be an uplifting, follow your dream movie. BUT, for me this movie was very depressing & sad. I had a hard time watching the whole thing & I didn't get any feel good vibes from it at all.
I thought the acting was great, though. Emile Hirsch & Kristen Stewart did an awesome acting job. Jenna Malone did an awesome acting job too plus she did the best narrating of a movie than anyone I've heard. Her voice had all & every emotion done so well. Lots of depth!
hahahah i sort of told you that the sort of interviewer says "sort of" like sort of a lot...
But I agree- love the soundtrack, love the movie, love the book. Because of Into the Wild, I've become a major Jon Krakauer fan. His writing is unique in that it focuses on the story moreso than the style in which it's told. In other words- we get his subject, rather than a bunch of literary tricks
that movie made me cry when he died and when he was crying and when he got beat up . :( , but now i dont cry because hes not the real chris mccandless .
Into the Wild is an unelievably beautiful movie and if you havent read the Jon Krakauer book you really should because it's amazing and so sad I cried the whole way through! But I cry in everything.
I think that Chris was sort've trying to escape his rocky relatioships with people in a way,trying to come to terms with it and he found solace in nature.The old man he met found happiness only in people and chris sort've was only able to find happiness mostly in nature.I think the lesson's suppose to be that happiness is all around us,found in all people and things
Don't you guys understand? It's not supposed to make you feel happy! You're not supposed to love it! Don't you understand that throughout the film Christopher held the belief that man was meant to be alone, out in the wild. He was meant to convince you of that truth. Once he did, he got sick and died, only after coming to a realization and leaving the final note "Happiness only real when shared," which overthrew his entire philosophy on life. It's not supposed to make you happy!
well considering he never wrote happiness is only real when shared that was just added in the movie i dont really think that depicts the real christopher.
I have one piece of advice for anybody who wants to try to rough it in Alaska: GET WITH A NATIVE ALASKAN or somebody who has been around that area and is an experienced outdoorsman/ outdoorswoman.
Because a native might have a bit of knowledge about the area and the experience to save your hide. If McCandless simply knew there was a crossing over the raging river a few miles away he would have survived.
will you guys quit talking bad about him sometimes ppls composure breaks and the river cas completely unexpected and he panicked it can happen to anyone in a certain situaton he lived how he anted and had the courage to follow his dreams that takes courage
Alaskan Park Ranger Peter Christian wrote: First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he [had] had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament [...] Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide."[16] Some may argue that this is what he wanted all along, given his troubled past.
How could Hirsch say that Chris Mccandless had the skills needed to survive?! He clearly had very limited survival skills, that's what got him killed FFS!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
emile hirsch has small penis! when he floats down river naked in film you see his little dinky lolollolloll. considering actors get semi for full frontal scenes his dinky is tiny. and i could live in a bus for longer than mccandless lol. fuck me he had a stove and a mattress and a massive bag of rice. he was sheltered from the elements and still managed to starve to death. just shows what happens when all you do is read fiction books and lose sense of reality
"Into the Wild" ? Fu%$ that sh%$ ! You want some "Into the Wild" ? Hitch hike across Rwanda you mofos!!! That`ll getcha some "Into the Wild" LOL!!! xD!!!
there is a pleasure in the pathless woods..there is a rapture on the lonely shore..there is society..where none intrudes..by the deep sea and music in its roar...i love not man the less..but nature more...
Uh no. He wen't to the arctic without a clue about what he was doing. He clearly didn't have the skills to survive... because he died. when they found his body they estimated his body weight to be ~64lbs.
I actually agree with that, it was pretty stupid what he did. But we all know that. It's more about what he did during his short life that we should be considering. That is practically why I respect him. His Views on life itself
No one knows for sure what happened. But i don't think he starved just because. i mean there was edible plants and fish. I think he starved because he ate some type of possinous berry. The cause that is most likely is about the same as in the film.
the book begins with the detectives investigating the scene and finding his frozen body, i think. He might have not frozen to death. As far as the book goes, I always felt that Krakeau left the interpretation to the reader, as he never really states how he dies exactly.
This movie and book, touched me greatly! I felt it when he found his meaning of life "Happiness is only real when shared" I felt it when he poisoned himself accidentally. I just wish I could be like him and to live uncommitted and to live deliberately!

My favorite movie.
The End.
thirdstorytoker 3 years ago 11
I think that Chris was sort've trying to escape his rocky relatioships with people in a way,trying to come to terms with it and he found solace in nature.The old man he met found happiness only in people and chris sort've was only able to find happiness mostly in nature.I think the lesson's suppose to be that happiness is all around us,found in all people and things
fallcrysilk 3 years ago 5
I agree, but it was also do what you want to do with your life - follow your dreams and share them with others - that is what truely brings happiness
razorsrocker991 3 years ago
Don't you guys understand? It's not supposed to make you feel happy! You're not supposed to love it! Don't you understand that throughout the film Christopher held the belief that man was meant to be alone, out in the wild. He was meant to convince you of that truth. Once he did, he got sick and died, only after coming to a realization and leaving the final note "Happiness only real when shared," which overthrew his entire philosophy on life. It's not supposed to make you happy!

well considering he never wrote happiness is only real when shared that was just added in the movie i dont really think that depicts the real christopher.

I have one piece of advice for anybody who wants to try to rough it in Alaska: GET WITH A NATIVE ALASKAN or somebody who has been around that area and is an experienced outdoorsman/ outdoorswoman.

Member9999 3 years ago
so you don't eat something that is going to cause you to starve
ivoryline13 3 years ago
Because a native might have a bit of knowledge about the area and the experience to save your hide. If McCandless simply knew there was a crossing over the raging river a few miles away he would have survived.

From Wikipedia:
Alaskan Park Ranger Peter Christian wrote: First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he [had] had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament [...] Essentially, Chris McCandless committed suicide."[16] Some may argue that this is what he wanted all along, given his troubled past.

How could Hirsch say that Chris Mccandless had the skills needed to survive?! He clearly had very limited survival skills, that's what got him killed FFS!

emile hirsch has small penis! when he floats down river naked in film you see his little dinky lolollolloll. considering actors get semi for full frontal scenes his dinky is tiny. and i could live in a bus for longer than mccandless lol. fuck me he had a stove and a mattress and a massive bag of rice. he was sheltered from the elements and still managed to starve to death. just shows what happens when all you do is read fiction books and lose sense of reality

Uh no. He wen't to the arctic without a clue about what he was doing. He clearly didn't have the skills to survive... because he died. when they found his body they estimated his body weight to be ~64lbs.

"He had the mental stamina." You've gotta admit he had some drive. Some serious determination, and it takes guts to do what he did.
000majorwinters000 3 years ago 2
I actually agree with that, it was pretty stupid what he did. But we all know that. It's more about what he did during his short life that we should be considering. That is practically why I respect him. His Views on life itself

The fungus thing is the author of the book's idea. Like i said no one really knows, many scenarios are possible.
RandomVideos09 3 years ago
I read that he ate some seeds that were edible but that had a type of fungus on them that prevented the digestion of food and that's how he starved.
cowgirlkiki 3 years ago
No one knows for sure what happened. But i don't think he starved just because. i mean there was edible plants and fish. I think he starved because he ate some type of possinous berry. The cause that is most likely is about the same as in the film.
RandomVideos09 3 years ago
I know in the movie he ate a poisonous plant...but I read in the book he froze.
rhcpguitarar 3 years ago
the book begins with the detectives investigating the scene and finding his frozen body, i think. He might have not frozen to death. As far as the book goes, I always felt that Krakeau left the interpretation to the reader, as he never really states how he dies exactly.
