Into the Wild

 Into the Wild is a biographical drama film directed by Sean Penn This film was an adaption from the non-fiction book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. Both the book and the film were based on the travels of Christiopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) across North America and the time he spent in the Alaskan wilderness. 

After Christoper McCandless graduates college he decides he wants to go on a trip to Alaska. But not just take a plane there. He destroyed all of his credit cards, identification records  and donated all of his savings, 24,000 dollars to Oxfam. Since he doesn't have any record of who he is he names himself Alexander Supertramp. He drives off in his car without telling his family nor his friends. But his car doesn't last him long so he ends up having to hitch hick through out his entire trip to Alaska. Through out this trip Alexander Supertramp meets a numerous amount of amazing people and gets to try new things. In Northern California he meets a hippie couple which he stays with for a while. In South Dakota he works for a contract harvesting company, and becomes very good friend with the owner of the company. Alexander then arrives at the Colorado River and then kayaks down the river until he arrives in Mexico. In Salton City, California he meets an old man who served in the US Army. The man is an amateur leather worker. He teaches Alexander the craft of leather work and so Alexander made a belt with details of his adventure. Alexander then leaves the old mans home and finds an abandon bus Alaska in which he spends most of his time with trying to survive by hunting animals, and anything he can get his hands on. Alexander had a book that stated which berries were good and which were bad. He didn't notice that one day he ate a berry that was slowly killing his insides, and a few days after he dies in his abandon bus staring at the sun in Alaska. 

This is by far one of my favorite films ever. I love how daring he is and how he burned everything he had so he was basically non existent to the world; It seemed like that's how he felt about himself. Like if he didn't know who he was so he had to go on this adventure to find out who he is. When ever i see this film I sort of want to pack my bags and just go on an adventure. That's what I want people to feel when they watch my film, like they want to go out there and do some graffiti art and show people that there is a difference between graffiti and graffiti art.
