If he had made it across the river he would have most likly survived. he got their and survived. So why not on the way back.
Of coarse his desire for freedom has probably launced alot of people to go on their own journey of self discovery, or the ones who dont understand life.

In life i can really relate my self to Chris McCandless, now i dont have any plans of running from home and my family, as i do love my family, but everyone in my family cant live without money or spending money, or having the most hightech gadgets, they care alot about material possetions. we live near 3 major cities, the farthest a 2 hour drive, and we seem to go to them all the time. I hate the city, i love living in my town of 500 people, because its not hectic, and no grumpy buissness type people.
for graduation my parents offered to by me a new vehicle and i turned it down, instead im taking a trip across north america. i did buy a vehicle but its really old, and im going to use it to drive across the continent. i have had the plan for years to do it.
my siblings think im an idiot, and so does the rest of my family, but it is going to be a 2 year trip and m gonna love it. no spending time in a hotel either, i got my cars back seat and a tent.

I’ve been looking forward to watching it for a long time, and you made it sound even better than I expected (in a soul-searching kind of way).

That’s fantastic. I always love it when films get families talking about new (and important!) topics. Thanks so much for your comment.

To Joe:
Glad to help, dude. Hope you (and your wife!) like it.

To Dan:
Hey, how about that!? Isn’t it just one of the most beautiful places on earth? Thanks so much for your kind words.

Thank you so much for giving me food for thought.

I, too, have been to Cinque Terre but I was able to enjoy it as one stop on my honeymoon. The “Italian Riviera” was my favorite place!

Thank you!

Dan

I am glad I read this, I remember watching previews when the film came out and wanting to watch it, but have forgotten about it since then. Take it easy!

We had a great discussion about life and amazingly, they were all ears and interested…they also have a lot of opinions about the film and shared what they thought about his journey in life. I was just taken aback and surprised, thought this film will bore them to death. I enjoyed this post a lot. Thank you.
