Into the Wild: Review By Hargre

Into the Wild's screenplay takes us through the process of thinking of the main character. From its emotional confusion disguised as a breathtaking attempt to achieve freedom to the realization that one cannot live totally alone in the world. A journey that ends with finding that love has a place afterall beyond social conventions.

Sean Penn directed Hirsch magnificently and made a really beautiful, sensible road movie. I specially cherish the sequence with Hal Halbrook.

The only thing I should say against it is that I easily discovered what the character's fate would be (no, I didn't know the real story). Maybe was it a little bit shorter there would be less indications and I would give a full sounding 5 stars.
