Into the Wild is both touching and inspiring. I guess one of the things I remembered most was that it was based on a true story. That makes me feel a bit sorry for the parents, as I have five wonderful children of my own. I can understand how heart braking it would be if this would have been my own son, who is also named Chris.
I say it is inspiring because I have often thought of doing such radical things as selling everything and moving to Alaska myself. Although I have to admit the kid in the movie was a bit more extreme in the manner of which he did it, than I would have. Nevertheless it is still appealing to me.
I watched intently as the events unfolded in this movie.
