No thank you!

I think this is purely a dramatic (and affective) invention of Sean Penn when Chris says that in the movie. I think it more less means that the fictionalized character of Chris McCandless has now come to see the beauty and value in close relationships with those he loves and those that love him. In ...

I personally am not planning on making a sojourn out to the bus Chris lived and died in - but has anyone ever thought of bringing some kind of inflatable raft out there just in case the river is too swollen for a crossing? (Excuse me if this idea has been set forth before.) I had read there is (or h...

Speaking of photographs not published in Back to the Wild, I also wanted to mention a series of three pictures that were given to me following a screening of my film up in Alaska a few years ago. They were taken inside the bus, probably in August, and show Chris sitting on his mattress in long unde...

A man from Tennessee had to be airlifted by helicopter on Wednesday when he got stuck on the far side of the Teklanika River just like Chris McCandless.

They're calling it a 'Ken Burns' style video, meaning it's just stills that move. Ken Burns does a lot of stuff with creating parallax and depth of field artificially though. It's really more like a narrated slideshow (of the photos that are in the book.) The first thing I thought of when you menti...

The best way to describe the DVD, is as a read-along for the book. It's the exact same content as the book. It doesn't really expand or ellaborate on it, it has the same photos but they are put to music and the captions/text is narrated. If you're more auditory than visual, you might like the dvd b...

All's quiet on the new Back To The Wild DVD. Any thoughts on it from anyone who has watched it? Did you like it? Get anything out of watching it? Am sort of curious as to why there hasn't been more discussion about it on this message board.
