Into the Wild
    #7438112 - 09/21/07 08:10 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Is anyone else excited to see this movie? I hadn't ever heard of this story until I saw sean penn and emile hersch on oprah the other day. The book seems like itd be great also. Im going to read it and then see the movie.

see the movie, then read the book. this way you won't be disappointed!

*EDIT, well, this way you'll form your impression of the characters around the actors who play them which can sometimes be a bad thing.

NPR had a special about this story the other day.... and they can make anything sound interesting, IMO.... but after thinking about it... I dont really get what the great thing is here?

sure, the guy stuck to his convictions... but in the end he screwed up and died like your average african child.

I just read the book. I found it fascinating.

Jon Krakauer is a great storyteller too. I also recommend Into Thin Air; it's the story of the disastrous Everest expedition in 1996, of which Krakauer was a part.

I almost read "Into The Wild" just because it was a Krakauer book. Then I realized the only reason I liked Krakauer was because "Into Thin Air" was such a great read. And that was just because I was so interested in mountaineering at the time it came out. I was doing a lot of hiking/climbing in those days and had followed the reports of the disastrous Everest expedition closely when it was happening. And when the book came out I was captivated. "Into Thin Air" is still a fantastic book, but I never got around to "Into The Wild". I'm sure he did a good job on it, it just didn't intrigue me as much.

I'd bet money you would like it.

In any case, if you are into mountaineering, read "Eiger Dreams". It's a collection of Krakauer essays and accounts of mountain expeditions.

Will do.

One of my favorite books is The Crystal Horizon by Reinhold Messner. Its an account of the first solo expedition on Everest. Amazing story, and gives you a great appreciation of what an amazing person Messner was. By far the most accomplished mountaineer ever.

I've read both books several times and honestly think that Into The Wild is much better(and there is a mountain climbing story in it too). Into Thin Air was really good, but I've read better mountain disaster books(such as Touching the Void), Into the Wild is very unpredictable and I think just about everyone of us can relate to it's main character, Christopher McCandless.

Krakauer is one hell of a writer.

Just saw it.

I enjoyed it but as usual the book was superior. Penn seems to have missed some of the messages in the book. He made McCandless a bit too black and white, as if there was no hypocrisy or naivete in him at all. He also made his parents out to be abusive and mean.

It's quite an intense film, and by far the most interesting parts of it were the people McCandless ran into before he went to Alaska. Some of the performances were really top notch. I recommend it, but if you liked the book a lot you'll probably have to like the movie in a different kind of way.

I have not read the book, but saw the movie earlier today. I thought it was good, interesting story... that dude was pretty crazy. The movie is inspiring and sad. Probably worth the watch sometime if you think at all like he did. Reinforces that I need to get out to the mountains/travel this coming summer.

Pretty much sums it up. I have not read the book, but after seeing the movie I'm inspired to do so.

I especially agree with your assessment that some of the supporting actors gave top notch performances. Hal Holbrook, who played the old man Ronald Franz, was amazing. He was so moving to me that I really forgot it was a movie in those parts. He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in that role (and the oldest nominee ever) but lost to Javier Bardem (the really mean killing machine from No Country for Old Men).

Sorry for the bump of an old topic, but maybe it will serve as a reminder to some who haven't seen yet. Definitely see it - one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Good movie, but in reality, his magic bus was 5 miles from a solid river crossing, and he was less than 20 miles away from a ranger station.

That's the heart of the wilderness there!

It really is the heart of the wilderness. It's actually quite difficult for someone in the developed world to get that far from civilization. When you are even two or three miles from the nearest road or building, you are absolutely in the middle of nowhere. He had to hitch-hike to the the point where the last dirt road terminated, then he hiked for miles. And if you haven't got a map, the ranger station might as well be on the moon.

If the nearest building is in ear-shot of your rifle, you're not even close to nowhere.

Maps are moot if you learn some terrain association and listen to the locals.

I didn't realize that Into The Wild was by the same author! I really liked Into Thin Air a lot. Probably one of my top 20 reads ever. I recently saw the movie Into The Wild and enjoyed it, I think I'll probably pick up the book next.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

Good movie, but in reality, his magic bus was 5 miles from a solid river crossing, and he was less than 20 miles away from a ranger station.

That's the heart of the wilderness there!




He was injured, and was in very weak condition. thats why he stayed in the magic bus and scavenged for roots and berries which eventually killed him. its rumored that he had a arm injry, but its still unclear of what realy happened.
