  • to be free as a bird that's the dream and someday i will be too

  • Saint Francis of Assisi left all the things and become saint

    this kid left the world and turn into a mith (and the world want to eat him with merchandising) keep your eyes open if you can

  • @wovokanarchy Hillbilly redneck music?? If you are referring to "Southern Rock", then I believe the words of the song pertained to his free-spirit.. not how much money he came from. 

  • @buffycharmedangel102 btw this is one of the greastest rock n roll hits ever. not "hillbilly redneck music" stupid people these days.

  • @wovokanarchy He wasnt romanticising about being poor in my honest opinion.

    He 'rebelled' against the thought of society deeming a poor man as a lesser person, where the only people with success in life are the people who have a lot of money.

    And besides that, values and artistic credibility are often shoved aside for money, to sell out.

    If anything, he showed the world that there is nothing wrong with being poor, that you dont need money to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

  • @SiCDisaster One problem with your insight. He's dead. And why is that?

  • @wovokanarchy Hey, i'm not saying he was without faults. If he had just brought a map with him he could have found an exit to his situation rather quickly and he wouldnt have starved to death. His mistake wasnt even eating the wrong plants as suggested in the movie, he ate the right ones but the wrong parts in the wrong season of it because his food was running out.

    Still, even that i can somewhat respect. He was an explorer in a world with nothing left to explore, so he got rid of the map...

  • @wovokanarchy It has nothing to do with him 'romanticising' being poor though. If that still is what you think than you just dont understand the man.

  • @SiCDisaster How could I understand the man? He's dead from being overly sentimenal about ''nature'' and ''zoo animals''.

  • @wovokanarchy Everyone is different. Everyone has a different outlook on life. I embrace the differences in us... it makes us all unique. You just don't get Chris... but some of us do.

  • @wovokanarchy So what if he had lived and walked out of the wild and returned to civilisation? Would you understand him then?

    Yes he is dead, but he did something most of us rarely ever do: he chased his dream and made it reality. He lived his life the way he wanted to, so he could have peace at the end.

    I say its better to be dead having followed your dream than live in a false sense of security and never do anything. He went to extremes to make dreams happen, and its inspirational to many.

  • @SiCDisaster What's so hard about going out into nature anyway? That's a dream? He didn't understand the reality of nature to begin with, he only had an "idea'' of nature in his mind, that's what got him killed.

  • @wovokanarchy He lived and wandered around for two years prior to coming to Alaska, i'd say he knows what the reality of nature was. The possibility of dying is one he did accept and acknowledge.

    There is much more than just his trip to Alaska, though Alaska was to be the culmination of his efforts.

    He wanted to see if he had what it takes to survive in the wild, to prove that he could take care of himself, like primitive man did. To be able to do what truely is required to live.

  • @wovokanarchy you are sick sir...I am a muslim arab and I find this fantastic,,,,,ever heard of tolerance!

  • @wovokanarchy You're an idiot. You shouldn't open ur mouth and confirm your stupidity,

  • @saulhudson420 Remember this is the cyberworld, and not the vocal world. Wanker.

  • GTA!

  • if you dont know or understand chris mccandless, sorry but you are nothing u.u

    just a slave of this system :P

  • Free as a bird......its the next best thing to be....

  • who was that guy?

  • @paroutdiok Chris?? Just a free-spirit/drifter who didn't want to attend college, instead he hit the open road... wanting adventure. He found an abandoned bus up in Alaska I believe, he used it as shelter, writing, etc... and didn't live through the winter though. He died at 23. great novel, highly recommend it.

  • @buffycharmedangel102 He did attend college he graduated from Emory University in 1990, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life. He didn't want to attend graduate school. He found that ultimately life was about sharing it with someone- he died free but lonely.

  • @buffycharmedangel102 there is no novel on chris mccandless.

  • @paroutdiok He did attend uni and finished his degree. he then gave away $20k to charity before leaving without saying anything.

  • good Job!
