Into The Wild

Even though Christopher Johnson McCandless was well educated, entrepreneur and seemed like a great guy, his stubborn actions left his family with full of grief and pain. After Christopher graduated from Emory University with honors, he decided to start his life from a scratch in the wild. He got rid of most of his possessions which included money, clothing, and even his car. Through out his trip he slept on the streets most of the time. Chris donated twenty-four thousand dollars to charity, and then burned rest of his money. Those kinds of senseless actions left him with nothing to support his long journey to the Alaskan wild and harsh environment. Chris McCandless decision to disappear from his families’ sight and unpredictable death left his whole family in a lot of agony and sorrow.

I enjoyed movie way better then the book. The reason I liked movied better then the book, because the structure of the book is all over the place. Movie jumped places from time to time, but at least it connected to the point of the movie. The book talks about some random stuff and some people are just randomly added in there, I guess because of their similarities. Alex McCandless seemed like x-treme dude, who would try everything and finish whatever he was set to do, but him leaving people who cared about him and especially family clueless; was messed up and cruel.
