Saw INTO THE WILD last night: a sad, intriguing film about a young man who resents his parents' lie (and their wealth of comfort) and as a result leaves all behind to disappear into the world and eventually into the wild. There he discovers the truths of happiness and tragedy almost simultaneously.
This is a very good movie by Sean Penn, starring Emile Hirsch. Hirsch delivers an extraordinary performance, making us feel what Christopher McCandless felt, making us believe that this young man was truly an adventurer.
Hal Holbrook's performance is also grand. Vince Vaughn as Wayne and William Hurt as the boy's father are also top-notch.
