Into the Wild

We watched an interesting movie over the weekend called Into the Wild. I had never heard of it, but it's based on a real-life journey taken by Christopher Johnson McCandless (pictured below). I think the movie works better if you don't know the story ahead of time, so I won't say much here but I'd definitely recommend watching it.

Chris and I had very different reactions to the movie. He admired the guy for following his dream and I thought the guy was a selfish idiot. There are lots of online articles about him, which talk about the cult following of young men who now idolize this guy and think he's a hero. If anyone has seen the movie, or knows the story, I'd be very curious to hear your reaction.
