Amazing film - best film I've seen in years. Sean Penn is
an incredible writer director.

Your thoughts on the film?

I also saw it recently. It certainly spoke to me, and I
think it has a lot to say to all of us.

seen it

Same - did you cry when it showed his note at the end, and
he signed it with his real name? Overall, several moments
which pound tears out of the eyes.

i loved it

and actually liked the soundtrack too

sad, sad story and i had no clue how this was going to end

but it comes this part in the move where you think exactly
how this is going to end

This topic coaxed me to get around to seeing it, I loved it.
That McCandless fella left me feeling fascinated and
frustrated, then kind of sad.

And Eddie Vedder actually did a really good job with the
music.

To think he went all that way to find truth, when all along
that truth was on his doorstep.

Its true. To find happiness is one step, but it pays little
service when it is possessed. For wisdom to grow, it must
change hands.

can't say i really enjoyed this, granted i haven't read the
book.

to be frank, i don't like the actor. not for any
particular reason, it's just one of those things that you
just dislike for no-damn-reason-whatsoever.

looking past that, i was really expecting more solitude of
him in the wilderness, struggling to live and cope. i was
instead bombarded with time spent on showing his trip *to*
the wilderness ... not much of him actually in it.

i was really hoping for a bit more of that "tom hanks /
desert island movie" where he's just alone and surviving. i
really didn't care much about his "story" as i was hoping
for a wilderness movie.

guess i'll have to read the book. all in all, good movie
made no doubts there, i was just walking in with different
expectations of what it would be entailed.

the self-portrait shot at the end hit home hard. great
moment

not at all exceptional, way over-hyped, the soundtrack was
alright in parts, apart from that it was very forgettable.

4/10

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to rank it as the biggest
pile of steaming poo I've layed my eyes on in recent years,
and is right up there on the list of biggest wastes of time
in at least 5 years of my life, and that's saying something.

i've just watched this after months of it sitting next to my
dvd player, since my brother leant it to me.

both heart warming and heart breaking.

a more than worthy tale to be told, and was well told at
that.

emile hirsch was brilliant.

It's a very good film so far.... (i'm watching it right
now). I got to the part where there's a Kaki King song, and
if you don't know who she is, check her out, she's an
incredible guitarist.
