Into the Wild


I heard about this book and subsequently this movie by chance. I was researching Twilight's new movie when I heard Kristin Stewart played a part in the movie so I went looking. I was immediately transfixed by the story and went to the video store to pick it up (this was the movie I spoke about yesterday).

Last night we watched it (I'm purchasing the book this weekend) and it was truly lovely. Emile Hirsch became Christopher McCandless and it was amazing to watch. The movie was long (3 hours) but the time just flew by and I never found myself looking even once at the clock to see how much longer the film had.

If you get the chance, give this movie a go. But a warning, don't read too much about it online or you'll know everything about the movie. I didn't tell Jimbo the premise (I knew from researching it online) and he was really struck with the movie. I wish I could have seen it from that perspective.

I'll let you know about the book after I've read it.
