Into The Wild (2007)

My Rotten Tomatoes rating: 70%

I enjoyed this movie for the general part. i know most of the story from when we read the book in English during my junior year in high school and it was nice.

to be honest, i'm pretty sure most of what i think is just based on how most of the experience of the movie was based on just watching things i to remember or know from the book, things that were from the book but i forgot, and things that were not in the book at all.

the acting was pretty good. Hal Holbrook did a ... nice job playing Ron Franz. i don't know much about the nominee's from the best supporting actor award at the oscar's aside from the guy from No Country for Old Men who won along with Holbrook, and granted i thought there should have been more to show for Holbrook to shine (i mean we wasn't going to win anyway but still.) but he did good.

i liked the editing when it came to how they told the experience McCandless had especially when he reached Alaska and afterwords.

all around, it was well done to at least make a nice movie about a moving, true story.
