I don't know if it was the best, but it was very, very good. I may have a bias here however, because I have a dream of doing something similar to him in a few years. I want to hike the Appalachian Trail, then teach English in Thailand until I'm 60 (I'm almost 50 now), and then come back and travel the U.S. for a year living out of my car and living off my 401k and savings.
sharei think your dream is doable ..
you have the motive, your health, and a good plan, and you have extra thing, money.
hope you will achieve your dream soon.
I've counted Into the Wild as my 2nd favorite movie of all time for years, my 1st favorite being the Lord of the Rings trilogy (Which I count as one film, because... It basically is).
Check out my action-packed short film, Liberation:

LOTR trilogy is my favorite trilogy, and yeah, i think you can say it's one movie, like Kill Bill Duology, one script but two movies because the script was too long.

I like this movie a lot, but i don't like the way it diminished the character of the real Chris in order to.....I'm not sure what the purpose was. To make him more romantic or something? The film makes him out to be a lot more stupid and naive, and inexperienced, than he really was.
I realize they have to make changes to the historical facts when making films, but the changes should be for narrative coherence, or simplifying the sequence of events or compressing them for reasons of time, etc. When they introduce changes that actually are false and derogatory to their "hero" (as also happened in The imitation Game), which changes don't expedite the plot in any way, I don't like that.
Otherwise, the film is beautifully shot and well-acted. The score is excellent too.
It is not my favorite movie of all time. We are all touched or feel a connection to a movie or book in different ways. How we perceive a movie may change over the course of our lives depending on the changes within ourselves.
I thought I had read the book, but I normally keep books of the genre so I guess I have not. I like John Krakauer's writing so I'm surprised I don't recall reading this book. I mention this as I'm not sure how closely the movie follows the book. I am watching the movie on TV and saw it when it was first released. My reaction now is to question how much of the movie is based on conjecture, after all Chris could not serve as a consultant for it.
In spite of these misgivings I thought the movie was well produced, had superior acting and was obviously well directed. Sean Penn is talented in spite of how he can annoy many people and at times anger many of those.
The best book and movie of this "outdoor survival" and "spiritual discovery via nature" genre, in my opinion, is "Between a Rock and a Hardplace." I met the author of the book, Eric Ralston and had a brief conversation with him. He is highly intelligent and a talented inspirational speaker. For me my favorite movie of all time in this genre is this one. I recommend that people read the book and see the movie.
