“Into the wild” is an outstanding American biographical drama directed by Sean Penn. Fact worth of mentioning is the movie was based on true events. For difference of other happy ending stories we are being served from Hollywood nowadays, this movie exceeds expectations and even takes a step further.

Movie follows life story of young American teenager, a recent graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) is sick and tired of consumer society we live in and the absurd life goals we are led by. After he achieves, not his own, but his parents’ expectations, he decides to put a stop to life within society that’s corrupting him and decides to go away from home.

Plot takes place in United States starting in the spring of 1992. Upon his graduation, Christopher leaves his parents and his younger sister, not willing to tell them where he was going. He donates his $24,000 of savings to Oxfam, destroys his driving license, ID and credit cards along with any other document that could relate him to existing society. By taking a new name of Alexander Super-tramp, Christopher McCandless sets off at his adventurous journey into the wild. When he had just thought that he have found the meaning of life within the abandoned bus, where he had set up his camp – circumstances are about to drastically change. Exhausted and ran over by his own ideals, he didn’t want to give up on; Alexander Super-tramp ends his life in national park of Alaska. Whole movie soundtrack was done by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam which gives a distinctive touch of grunge to movie’s adventurous spirit.
