Christopher McCandless

Yeah that's the way the movie and to some extent the book would have us believe, sadly we'll never know his true state at the time he tried to cross the river, i think we'd all agree that it's a Damn shame he didn't make it!!

I totally agree! always keep what you truly want in focus, live your life as fully as possible but don't forget the people who are most important! i think the secret is to balance both sides,

I think if he'd made it back to civilisation in a weakened physical and mental state i feel or would like to think he would have returned to his parents and family even if only a short time, i think they'd all suffered enough. If only he'd made it.

Some very wise words and sound advice, well put man.

Hey man how's it going i'd be joining your plan but sadly i'm from england! i dig your enthusiasm though! spirited! hopefully i'll get to the u.s sooner rather than later

All went better than well dude they loved it! from start to finish you could see its powerful message and story being absorbed! alot of emotion flowing too! it felt great to give them all this gift! what an amazing movie!

Hitchwiki On the web check it out for all your hitching needs!

Well said! Truly inspirational and courageous.

I think with this story being so emotionally raw and also its time period makes it such a great book for so many people to connect with! a truly one of a kind in many respects! a gift to us all.

I'm having a movie night with this great movie for 10 of my favourite friends! i can't wait to show them this amazing movie! and yes i've got them to all read the book to! it's great to spread the word!
