Movie 166: Into the Wild

Into the Wild (2007) by Sean Penn

starring Emile Hirsch

In a nutshell: A very long and tragic tale, but one filled with beautiful scenery and a riveting journey. Slow, at times, but a solid movie.

Quick synopsis: Christopher McCandless, a recent college grad who is dangerously ideological, takes an epic journey to separate himself from society but is ultimately undone by his boldness and disregard for preparation.
