Into the Wild (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) 230 reviews Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden
Paramount, 2008
Excellent
+ Moving and Inspiring + Theories and conjecture
If you watch the first 5 or so minutes, you might expect this movie to be lame, but it most certainly is not. Inspired by an amazing true story, it's a very powerful film about a guy you really want to learn about. Fine writing, fine acting, and amazing scenery. I'm impressed.
