Into the Wild

2007. Written and directed by Sean Penn, based on the book by Jon Krakauer. Starring Emile Hirsch, Hal Holbrook, Catherine Keener, Brian Dierker, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Jena Malone, Kristen Stewart, and Vince Vaughn.

Chris McCandless (played by Emile Hirsch) is a college graduate who is finished playing by the rules. He discards his wealth (from his very wealthy parents) and leaves everything and everyone behind on a journey into nature and the wilderness. The character is convincingly played by Hirsch and an interesting enough creation to keep you involved. The movie itself seemed to go on too long and the flexible timeline structure was a distraction to me.

My grade: B
