Emile Hirsch and Sean Penn - Into The Wild interview

[2430kiss]

Is it just me or is Emile Hirsch really hot???

[Isac4real]

@2430kiss its just you

[bondssucks]

Read the book the movie is great but oh my god the book is amazing

[sparkyinbath]

He needs to lay off the weed.

[jwalt2010]

Truth is the s.o.s note gets left out alot in the re-telling of Chris' story..I think that somehow if they admit that he felt in over his head at any point then it ruins the romanticism of the story..even so I still find his life and ideals very compelling an inspirational R.I.P Chris McCandless aka Alex Supertramp.

[TC1358]

its a movie that you need to read the book first

[AvadaKedavra316]

he's so down to earth. dicraprio or pitt or any other actor would just be over the top, bragging about themselves. but emile is really smart and down to earth, like a friend! and plus, he's not afraid to pick at his ears. XD 1:10

[kverula]

@AvadaKedavra316 I think he has got some joint beforet the interview :-)

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Did he just do a "blow" before this int.???

[frostydude116]

I really found this film and book moving and at times fun enjoyable and at points sad.it takes a lot to make my cry but i did a Lot

[vijabhinav]

I think the drag of the movie is Escape or call it freedom, desire of which is deep rested in human soul. After all we are basically wild creatures. Movie focuses on one of the four things Man will always crave : MOKSHA ( in Hindi )

[MaartenTheBoss]

@YOUSUXS3 Christopher didn't suffer ... he did what he wanted with his life wich was a brave thing

[burnmehdown214]

I want to read the book!

[vijabhinav]

@burnmehdown214 i just did... had to read the novel of one movie which inspired so much.

[burnmehdown214]

@vijabhinav How many pages are there?

[vijabhinav]

@burnmehdown214 around 306 pages.... but movie is still better....

[lovegc55]

he reminds me of river phonex / johnny depp / heath ledger

[Mimsp]

I STILL don't understand how Emile wasn't even nominated for Oscar or anything like Golden Globe... I think the work he made was extraordinary! I consider his performence like one of the best of the decade!

It's so unfair not seeing Emile being recognized for his amazing work in Into the Wild! And so Sean Penn, the soundtrack, the photography, the writing adapted screenplay...

But that's ok! Emile will have the opportunity to surprise us countless times! He's definitely a great actor!

[LynnieLousMusic]

@Mimsp He WAS nominated for a Golden Globe!

[RydeMusic]

The book, the movie. His life story is amazing and changed my life

[kearress]

Why did Sean Penn ignore Chris' S.O.S.-note completely in his movie???

[BAM5636]

@kearress He didn't. It is shown.

[kearress]

@BAM5636 No, that was his farewell-not. The one i mean says:

Attention possible visitors

S.O.S.

I need your help.

I am injured, near death, and too weak to 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?

[DoozyJr]

@kearress Or maybe the parents didn't want it in.

[SugarKatie]

@kearress I think, as a director you have to focus on certain materials to present to the audience in order to tell a compelling and coherent story. Sean probably ignores that note because he thinks it's useless to his vision of the story. I respect Penn's artistic choice, but we can never take a movie as complete truth. Go watch a documentary if you want truth.

[wheelinthesky300]

I loved the movie.

In fact, I think it might be the best film ever made.

But I think there are a few things too fictionalized,

and for people familiar with the story, it detracts a bit.

Also, I think Emile, though he gave a fine performance, was miscast.

He bears no physical resemblace to Chris, lacks his intellectual depth,

and is not as prickly as Chris seemingly was.

Emile is too soft and lovable and huggable.

He's kind of like E.T. phone home.

[joshurking]

@wheelinthesky300 Yeah but if the main character of a film is 'prickly' then the audience won't like him as much.

I think Emile did a fantastic job of portraying a lovable & relatable character which is what this film needed him to be.

People get so anal about films sticking exactly to a book, it's an adaptation, not the book on screen.

[LemonOdette]

@wheelinthesky300 i don't think he lacks his intellectual depth.

[wheelinthesky300]

@LemonOdette He is no way on a level with the actual Chris McCandless.

[virtuue]

I love SEAN PENN!!

[hate420breed]

these guys don't give a fuck about his memory they wanted a really life story to make money off of.

[thehockeybomb]

@hate420breed you dont know that

[cotynita]

When I see evrytime the end of this film makes me cry...I don´t know why?...I need a film like this

[LilMissae]

I love everything about Emile.. Why can't more guys be like him?

[MeanMa0riMean]

@LilMissae haha

[zaprudermacphee]

River

[Hutchbeartrap]

Life its what you make for it... you car, cloth, wallet will never complete a life. Things are just that thing, they come and go. Remember the things you own, end up owning you.

[tbonehertz]

@Hutchbeartrap i cant say i disagree, but its pretty ironical to express this sentiment on youtube

[LemonOdette]

@Hutchbeartrap i guess there's something fight clubian about this movie. :P i always admired Tyler Durden.

[GoodLifeGoodLove]

im still convinced that emile with of course a different appearance set up, should play kurt cobain for the film, just watch a cobain interview, after watching this one, and u might see it the way i do.

[DCKar2nist]

yea he's late nineties dicaprio, to a t. especially the voice

[illuminatedface]

Emile is so damn fine!

[cacasarq]

congrats! bravo!

[hashcr]

he reminded me of Rivers Phoenix, or Dicaprio

[jiayunlim]

YES! Dicaprio. The voice and smile and eyebrows. Everything!

[optikCB]

@hashcr great comparison. Emile's gentle and 'organic' like manner definetly reminded me of River. Until I saw Into The Wild I never thought much of Emile, never saw any interviews with him or the like... now I have a new found respect for him, seems like he'd be an interesting and insightful person to chill with

[kfrolf09]

read the book million times better!!!

[HappyLarryX]

I agree, this movie completely changed the way I see life. And i've become way less materialistic.

Plus i've so many similiarities with Chris, as a person, that it's scary!

The best film ever made.

[JolleCleopatra]

I just watched this movie and it changed my life. Best film ever.

[jollycorner1]

I think Chris sensed, and perhaps knew from experience, that there was something evil about human love and relationships. Thus the only connection he could make was with a place, in this case the Alaskan wilderness.

[lu770]

i need to do this. leave my parents bullshit..ready to leave into the wild get my own apartment to know the unknown and stay comfortable numb..like sticks of flint..like paper dolls bang together at the hips..

[ercankoc77]

IN TO THE WILD is the best film. better than Forrest Gump. AMAZING. if you want to know what really means life you must watch this film.

[camimeyer]

Forrest Gump was my number one movie until I watched Into The Wild.

[jiayunlim]

Wow you really said it. LOL!

[monk202]

Man, I just watched the movie and yes, it is "AMAZING!!!" I've just been thinking about it and doing research on Christopher McCandless for the last hour and a half, and I found that he lived in Fairfax, VA and graduated from W.T. Woodson Highschool in 1986... I live in Fairfax, and this is the highschool I currently attend! Also, he died exactly one day AFTER my birthday, exactly one year before I was born. His last words written in his journal are dated EXACTLY one year before I was born.

[kickodude]

@monk202 Cool story bro

[ituber09]

just watched the movie. AMAZING!!! must watch.

[cbojohnson]

this film is one of the best i've seen. This only other film that moved me like this one is Georgia Rule. I suggest watching this film.

[honeypulse]

Thank you for posting this!

[KahlerHahn]

You know what... after watching this flick and just looking at it by the way it is done i really get kinda sick that such an amazing piece of cinimatic greatness not even got 1 nomination for the academy awards. Once again shows that the oscars are just show and most of the times mean shit!!!

[KingKKevinKev]

great words dude!

one of the best movies i've seen so far. and epic music....soundtrack of my life...thx to eddi vedder and sean penn and emile hirsch for his epic acting

[elmatto2006]

I partly agree. But i think the story is so damn inspuirational that it could have been done absolutely shitty and people would have still would have been in awe. Its chris. His story has changed my life. And the movie was done with respect, and done very well. If you didnt cry watching this, then you just dont understand the meaning.

[jollycorner1]

It won a lot of other awards, though, and it was nominated for two Academy Awards, best supporting actor for Hal Holbrook and best film editing. But you're right, though. The Oscars have become nothing more than a popularity contest.

[YOUSUXS3]

GREAT GREAT movie, great acting from Emile, I have NEVER cried so hard as when I saw the end, as a mom of grown sons myself, I can only think of how Christopher suffered. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends he made along his long journey.

[LoboMaulus]

yeah, a masterpiece by Sean Penn. The ending makes u suffer, makes u mad, makes u think about ur life, about being a better human being, and the purpose of our life. what is happiness? "Happiness Only Real When Shared" amzing phrase.

[helloaaron93]

@YOUSUXS3 Chris died happy and was happy his whole journey.

[dazombia]

@helloaaron93 He didn't die happy-he wrote that the true happiness is when it's shared, but he died alone. Though, he lived the way he wanted, escaping from all the lies of the society, and this was probably pleasing.

[jazzmanEE]

GREAT MOVIE. just watched it today

[MrScirus]

this is the only movie to ever get me to cry at the end. ever. i was just so moved and sad that chris had to die the way he did.

[Shoshin420]

What blew my mind is that its based on a true story........... the movie opened my mind alot but the true story alone is amazin.

[RoboDouche]

Thanks for the spoiler, shit for brains.

[DesperateTimes25]

I remember being 6 or 7 and hearing the story of Chris McCandless on Paul Harvey's Radio show. I must say that Emile Hirsch really helped put the face of chris to that story. great actor, one of my favorite actors on my generation.

[LindazEyes]

I love Emile, but hearing "kinda" about 6 times in one minute makes me grateful actors have specific lines to speak!

[moonflower0924]

sean did great!

[florizal69]

I watched this film for the first time not so long ago and can whole heartedly say that this movie made the number one spot for my highlist of films to date, everything about it i rate highly, the acting and the directing with its enticing and charming story-telling...its beautiful!

I've watched it many times since!

[reallyrox]

the book however is much more greatfuling to say the least i mean i refused the idea of makin amovie out of it but suprisingly it turned out really good

[urbanrootz]

hirst reminds me of kurt cobain.

[HaterHuntin]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[PeterBParker]

well they both are pisces. also i think its his tone of voice and his speakin pace....that is similar to how Kurts was.

[zaprudermacphee]

@urbanrootz who? damien hirst?  Hirsch

[urbanrootz]

@zaprudermacphee Oops, I meant Emile Hirsch

[DABEARS500]

@urbanrootz he does to me to

[thedtp123]

@urbanrootz agreed

[saulhudson420]

@urbanrootz yeah he does in this video. weird. lol

[LostHemingway]

@urbanrootz wow... nice observation. In this interview, I agree.

[modestmoose83]

@urbanrootz What is "hirst"?

[kverula]

@urbanrootz to me of Leonardo DiCaprio (I mean in the mvie - I think DiCaprio would play the role also brilliantly) 

[XboxliveMonkeyClan]

@urbanrootz Exactly what i was thinking

[heavenwithin81]

yeah hes just exausted. He reminds me of someone I know. Like i know em or somthing...weird lol

[slllii]

hahahahahaha he sleep!!

[menudoxscm]

Was Emile high or sleep deprived during this interview? Cause there is something dazed about him in this video.

[Y0utube2oo8]

watch into the wild and you will see why Emile is tired in the interview

[Erin52987]

Emile Hirsch has something very special about him that is indescribable with words. He made Chris McCandles come alive in this film and I am so happy he did him justice. Emile, if you ever read this I want you to know that I think you are one of the most talented and wholesome actors in Hollywood right now and I give you so many props for your how true you stay to yourself and how real you are overall. Keep making amazing films. Cant wait to see "Milk" and im looking for to "Living Woodstock."

[phantomlord1981]

one of the best movies in the world

[GimmeKitty]

Thank you so much for this, my Dear :)

Love ya!
