OR Post #23 Movie: Into the Wild

I watched the movie "Into the Wild" for my blog. It is about a young man, Christopher McCandless, that after his graduation Emmerey just disappears into the wild. He retreats from civilization for almost 2 years. He is determined to finally make it to Alaska. Along the way, he meets several interesting people. A couple of "wonderers," an old man that all he wants to take care of Christopher for the rest of his life, and many others. Throughout the story, he discovers that life is not only about living you dream, but sharing it with other people. After traveling many miles across the USA, Christopher (aka Alex Supertramp) finally makes it to Alaska. He lives his dream for about 80 days. When he is finally ready to go home though, he finds it impossible to cross a certain river in which he must cross to eventually make it back home. He in then sent back to his camp. He becomes very hungrey. One night, he was so hungrey that he wasnt even thinking about what he was eating. He later found that he had eaten poisoness berries. Because he had fallen asleep, and the berries had digested, he was seriously poisionned. He eventually starved to death because the berries were a type that if eaten and not treated right away, they would cause ones digestive system to screw up.
Fortunately, Chris kept a diary about what he was doing every day. When someone finally found his body later on, they also found his notes. His story is well known still today.
