These three kids have a blast, if only for a few minuteswith Hirsch being chased by the police for rafting with no licenseand it makes one wonder if maybe we all should take a journey into nature and feel the freedom and full warmth of heart that a lack of stress to succeed in the business world can give. One scene, where he meets up with a couple of people from Europe, proves how contagious a clear outlook on life without the troubles of societal restraints can be. Never coming off condescendingly to those he crosses paths with, Hirsch always holds a smile on his face. The people he meets help him to fully grasp the decision of life in the wild and be able to survive it. However, his character is so likable that they find him and latch on, not to change his mind, but to experience his level of being and hopefully learn something from him and help enlarge his vocabulary on life. His character believes that human contact is not necessary for happiness and never seeks out relationships. Emile Hirsch is absolutely brilliant with his good-natured attitude and affable charm. Only being completely self-sufficient can he grasp a meaning for his life and one day perhaps go back with that knowledge fully learned.

There is no debate to be had here, our protagonist has no alternative but to get out and live off the land. Penn never falls into the trap of showing too much heartbreak on the side of McCandless's parents, because he doesn't want the audience to second-guess the decision he made. A victim of excess in wealth and a shortage of love, Christopher McCandless hid inside his mind behind knowledge and philosophy, building up his intellectual strength, as well as the physical, in order to complete his trek, ultimately leading him to Alaska.

This film is a wonderful glimpse into the life of a kid, wise beyond his years, and the bonds that he creates with people along the way.
