After the release of the book and the success of the film in 2007, many explorers have ventured into the rugged nature of Alaska in search of the bus where Chris McCandless really lived for 114 days 1. Dreams are meant to be followed
Christopher was an intelligent young man who had everything at his disposal. He had just graduated successfully and had a long life ahead of him. Yet he decided to do something totally unexpected. He abandoned everything and everyone to pursue his dream of being free in nature. He had a difficult childhood and was not very attached to his parents. He was close to his sister who knew he would soon do something extraordinary. I mean, he trusted her.
Christopher and is an adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s 1996 non-fiction book of the same name. The latter is based on the travels of Christopher McCandless and has done what many of us don’t. Christopher chose his dreams above all else. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I was sorry not to be able to travel both of them.” Robert Frost said. A standard life was not for him. He loved nature and chose to experience it at 360 degrees. 2. Believe in magic
The whole universe around us is full of magic, we just have to believe it. Into the Wild shows us how Christopher finds a magical bus and how this bus adds something special to his journey. We all have a Christopher hidden within us. We all have a magical bus waiting for us. We just need to get out of our comfort zone and let him find us. This magic is not the magic taught at Hogwarts. And the magic that the universe holds. 3. The beauty of nature to see life in a new light
The splendid photography of this film makes us live the experience of lying down under the sky and looking at thousands of stars in silence. The green and lush forest, the gushing water and the beautiful flowers captured in the film will make you notice your surroundings, they will make you see nature in a new light. Quite a few scenes will blow your mind. 4.It’s never too late to learn a new skill
It is human error to remain confined to one’s comfort zone. It’s too easy to start living inside a box and stop challenging ourselves. While living in nature, Christopher realizes how important it is to learn new skills in order to survive. He understands the importance of adventure, of courage. Living with an old man named Franz, Christopher also learns to work with leather. He does it with the utmost dedication and later uses this skill to do some truly fascinating things. After all, life always brings us fascinating challenges. 5. Freedom is the greatest value
Christopher, the protagonist, distances himself from his own life, from the rules, from the oppressive limits that others imposed on him, to seek his own freedom. This can only be done by going through and living in everything and for all of him: with his difficulties, his obstacles, his difficult times, his inhuman challenges. Nature is freedom. And above all it teaches you a freedom linked to respect for one’s ‘I’. Nature teaches you to be yourself. Into the Wild is truly an ode to all of this.
