‘Into the Wild’ McCandless Pilgrims Descending on Remote Bus (World Hum)

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:24:19 GMT

Last October we noted that locals in Healy, Alaska were considering removing the old bus where Christopher McCandless died. They feared that people moved by John Krakauer’s book “Into the Wild” and Sean Penn’s movie adaptation would tramp 22 miles into the wilderness to see the bus, only to wind up in the same kind of trouble McCandless did. Well, the bus is...

Into the Wild - death in a bus (Sue's Place)

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:54:02 GMT

The saga of the loner who died in the bus is the stuff of Alaskan wilderness heroics. A young man who wanted a solitary existence lived off the land died tragically, perhaps of poisonous berries or something else (no one is sure) in a bus in Healy, Alaska (where we did a backland Jeep tour). [...]

Into The Wild [Andrew Parsons] (Ecademy: user blogs)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:01:21 GMT

Film recommendation for you all. I am a big Pearl Jam fan and the lead singer Eddie Vedder was given the task of writing the soundtrack for a Sean Penn film, the soundtrack is stunning and I couldn't wait to see the film. It is based on a true story of a young lad who had everything in the US and was about to start university life when he decided to give everything away and walk to Alaska...

From Page to Screen: 'Into the Wild' (Cinematical)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:11:52 GMT

Filed under: Drama , From Page to Screen The conventional wisdom regarding Sean Penn's justly acclaimed rendering of Into the Wild is that the film is "faithful" to the Jon Krakauer book. This is utterly cracked, and the misconception is illustrative of my staunch "books are not movies" philosophy. Not only is Into the Wild not "faithful" to the book, but it couldn't possibly...

"Into the Wild" reflections: glorifying selfishness and death? (Biblical Christianity)

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:09:00 GMT

I just saw the depressing movie " Into the Wild " (2007), scribed and directed by Sean Penn. Yikes. These thoughts will be spoilery... but not too. Unless you think a film on the last days of Lincoln would be spoiled by a reviewer who mentions the assassination. The film is based on a book about the last, lamentable days of Chris McCandless, a young man who ran away after college...

I’m watching Into the Wild right now, and just referred to Emile Hirsch as “the kid from Speed Racer.” Apparently, I’m referring to 23 year old men as “kids” now. So, yeah, get off my lawn.

Into the Wild: Depicting the Life of Christopher McCandless (Nermeena)

Tue, 13 May 2008 13:05:47 GMT

From an adventurous to a sheer idiot, opinions varied about Christopher McCandless. In January 1993 Author Jon Krakauer published an article in Outside Magazine titled “Death of an Innocent”, in which he depicted the life of Christopher McCandless. “The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life [...]

Into the Wild and Vintage 1968 (Learning Curve on the Ecliptic)

Tue, 06 May 2008 14:00:00 GMT

We heard mixed reports about the movie "Into the Wild". An on-line Flickr friend of my husband recommended the movie to him, presumably for its photography, but also because of a photograph of my husband's showing an abandoned 'bus - echoing part of the movie's storyline. My husband's daughter told us that she didn't enjoy the movie at all and advised giving it a wide berth, though her husband...

... profound and sad and fascinating. And while not all of it may have been true (see A Call to the Wild for that info and Into The Wild: The False Being Within for an even more interesting take on McCandless), enough of it was true to make it a tragic story. I don't see Chris McCandless as a hero. I see him as a romantic idiot who thought Jack London and Henry Thoreau had it right. I...

One of them that left an impression was the 2007 film Into The Wild It is the true story of Christopher McCandless - a twenty two year old man, who decided to leave everything and everyone behind to travel across the United States to live in the Alaskan wilderness. What struck me was that this was NOT a story of an idealistic visionary...
