Into the Wild reminds myself alot of my older brother, who has hiked half of the Appalachian Trail. I wasn't real certain what my brother would go through and this movie/book helped me understand his feelings and his passion for going out into the wilderness and finding what he loves. Hiking. Chris McCandless has changed my life just by reading a book. It makes me want to go out and discover new parts of the world. I do also suggest everyone to watch it on the biggest screen possible! All time favorite movie, lots of beautiful photogrophy of nature and wild animals.
