It's sad that a simple error in judgment could cost a young man everything. I cried through most of this film. It was so sad for his parents, who have to carry on without ever seeing their son again. I was hoping for a brighter outcome all through the film, but unfortunately it didn't. The actors were well played. And really made me feel their pain and anguish. I'm glad I bought this DVD.

Based on a true story. After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life. This movie is beautiful, deep, true, adventurous, sad, occasionally funny, real, at times very touching. Chris McCandless lived a whole, remarkable, life. And Sean Penn has captured those two years for all to see in this movie.
A journey of one man's heart, that I believe is in all of our hearts. To escape, meet new people and to experience a life of freedom, and knowing the beauty of life. This movie embraces all emotions of the human spirit. Let go for a few hours and experience that thought.
