Why a different ending? *SPOILERS*


I absolutely loved this movie and was so compelled... Then they got to the ending and I couldn't BELIEVE they told Arons story but didn't show him dying. When I read the book obviously I wish he'd lived, but putting that ending in the movie is like slapping his corpse in the face. Is the actual true ending on The blue-Ray?

Um. The real guy didn't die. He's alive and well.

You read the book? Who do you think wrote the book? He didn't die. He's been on tv, done interviews, visited the canyon since, he's a motivational speaker, etc.

Are you Thinking of Into The Wild?
