Hi everyone. I just recently discovered this fantastic story. I came across the DVD quite by chance - it was a buy 5, pay for 3 offer, and I just randomly picked the ones that appealed to me the most. Now, get this: when I watched the movie, I did not know the story was real!! 
I found it incredibly touching, and the ending was so sad - but when it went on to showing a picture of the real Christopher McCandless, I was shocked!
Since then I have not been able to get this story of my mind. It being real brought a whole new level to the story. Questions such as what were his motivations for making the choices he did? How did it feel to be alone in the wilderness? And what was it really like for him near the end?
I've watched the movie three times so far, read the book and bought the soundtrack. I feel quite the geek about it.
But seriously, it's an amazing story. He touched so many lives when he was alive, and continues to do so well after he's gone!
