JON KRAKAUER REVEALS INSPIRATION FOR INTO THE WILD

... I found, what I've been searchin' for within' this movie - that's why I love the story and its soul so much!!! ...

Jon will be appearing on Good Morning, America this coming Monday.

he was amazed by nature and was a very brilliant mind....He saw the true wealth in life and not the materalistic wealth that clouds the world today...inspirational really i feel this guy captured it honestly or the family would of said something about it

Danpaco you couldn't have said it better. I've watched movie 5 times and read the book. Something they don't touch on but I feel might have been true, is that he might have been Bipolar. Some very intelligent people do suffer from forms of mental illness. His were not rational acts.

the BUS was kind of also running from the fake society where everyone has to compete with everyone. and so Chris was. he was looking for the true way of living. i dont know if he had found it or not. anyways, he tried and that's exaclty what's important. not anyone dares.

The BUS was "running from the fake society" too, huh? That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever been refuted with. What he found false about modern living wasn't the spirit of competition, that exists outdoors too it's called the food chain and natural selection. He was very outspoken against materialism, lethargy and conformity. Yes, he had the guts to try, but no patience to do it right;a hypocrite for using guns, failing to learn how to improvise shelter, and wasting animal life.

such a good book. alot of inspiration in it.:)

i find it quit interesting cause years ago i read about a king in india who left his kingdom and all the luxuries of life and went into the wild and died of starvation i wonder what connection him and that kind had

Eh ... I think you mean the Lord Buddha, bluejeanss.

I think that he was pretty damn wise and intelligent, and a rare bird.
