[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 845619, member: 3953"] [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/?ref_=sr_1]Into the Wild (2007) - IMDb[/url] Based on the true story of a young man who decides to go on his own personal journey of discovery, after becoming disillusioned with the trappings of modern life, and feeling bitterness towards his parents after living through them go through an at times violent divorce. The seeds seem to be sewn for his forthcoming journey the day of graduating college, while during dinner that night, he shuns the offer of a brand new car and all the funding he needs to get through Harvard University from his proud parents, as it isn't what he wants, it's what he thinks they want from him and this leads to some confusion as his parents seem to be guilty of wanting to help him by giving him whatever he needs to make a success of his life. He mentioned that his grades should be good enough to get him into Harvard, but it isn't really what he wants. The next scene we see him give up his life savings (all $24000) to charity, so he can start afresh, with no safety net to fall back on. He has ideals of making his way to Alaska, spurned on by some of the great travel writers and the chance of a great adventure. He sets off in his car with a few dollars in his pocket, writes off his car then burns his remaining money and his adventure is well under way. He meets plenty of positive people looking out for him on his journey, good friends, fun people, a lover, a father figure etc. but he's still lost, maybe driven on by an impossible dream. He seems to think he has all the answers to his life, but the sad ending suggests that maybe he was just driven on by his own selfish streak. He let his distraught parents and sister worry about him for 2 years, without so much as a phone call or a letter just to let them know he was alive and well. There's plenty of highs and lows in the film (such is life) and some great outdoorsy scenery for the adventurous types, which is what led me onto the film in the first place, so worth watching if you love the outdoors and have 2.5hrs to kill, but it's disappointing that some of the scenes don't explain how he got some of his kit.
