Into the Wild

Finally, I watched this movie! It’s been on my list for such a long time and wow, what a masterpiece. Sure, it’s about a spoiled boy who doesn’t appreciate what he has and thinks he’s different from everyone else… but look at the other side! The film’s content, its ideas, its beauty , I lived through a spiritual, artistic, and even philosophical experience watching it. I started writing down so many quotes. This movie deeply moved me , its thoughts, its emotions. I think I really needed it. And that final scene… it truly touched me. Maybe one day I’ll see this movie as pretentious, silly, or not as amazing as I think it is now, but for me, it holds so many beautiful lessons. I have so much to say, but I’ll just share a few of the quotes that really spoke to me. I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth. The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once  I don't understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other so fucking often. It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole spectrum. **[written into book] Christopher McCandless: Happiness only real when shared.**
