Into The Wild



Coincidentally I started reading this book written by John Kraukauer on Monday which also happens to be the release date in Canada for Sean Penn's movie. Based on the true story of Christopher McCandless who in 1990 graduated from Emory University. Shortly after graduating abandons all of his possesions as well as life savings to hitchike to Alaska. Obsessed with Leo Tolstoy and the possibilities of complete freedom, McCandless avoids complete contact with his past life and relationships with family and friends. In short(without ruining the plot) make sure you either read this book or see this movie in theaters on September 21st. Movie starring Emile Hirsch who was the main character in Girl Next door and Vince Vaughn.
