This is one of my most loved and respected films from the last decade. Sean Penn is awesome. I always respected him more as an actor and lesser as a filmmaker but that I guess was before I watched into the wild.
Into the Wild is the biopic on Christopher McCandless. Read more about him HERE.
This is not a review, I will write a review some other time. Instead, I will share some of the most thoughtful quotes that makes this inspiring film even more inspirational.
Here goes 7 gems from Christopher McCandless himself.
1. Christopher McCandless: Happiness only real when shared.
2. Christopher McCandless: I read somewhere how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.
3. Christopher McCandless: I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.
4. Christopher McCandless: Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.
5. Christopher McCandless: You don't need human relationships to be happy, God has placed it all around us.
6. Christopher McCandless: Mr. Franz, I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one.
7. Christopher McCandless: If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.
