After seeing this movie, in 2011, I looked my boyfriend in the eyes and said: "Why don't we go to India by bicycle? He answered Yes, and then we did it: from Italy, one year road trip. The picture in my account is from that travel. The best adventure in my life, thanks to this movie.
My wife and I had a similar moment. We moved to San Diego. Always nice to encounter people that this movie had a similar impact. I grew up in the south and never left she was from the Midwest. We never would have dreamed of doing such a thing but this song gave us both strength. Amazing
"On bended knee is no way to be free". Peter R de Vries, the crimefighter who was shot (6-7-2021) has this lyric as a tattoo. He pays a high price for freedom. All the best for him.
i agree, i burst into tears anytime i let my mind think about life like this, the saddest part truthfully is that we all still live this way, when we know in our heart that this is not our best life and we are not really free

@Happydog keep your "truth" for yourself and your "god" to. He gives you everithing but not the respect for others cultures, for people who live in different way and for nature and animals. We have no use for the faith of fanatics.

'On bended knee is no way to be free' , the first line of this song, was the life motto of dutch crimefighter Peter R de Vries, who was shot while walking in an Amsterdam street July 6 2021and died on July 15 2021. He stood up for injustice and paid for it with his life. What a hero. RIP Peter....
I saw this movie when I was a programmer. This movie was a shock to me, as I was busy with my work every day in Tokyo. Before I knew it, I was off on a trip around America. I left my job, I left my relationships. I have no regrets. Thank you so much to all the people who were kind to me in the U.S. when I couldn't speak English. I want to return the favor.
You know, the moral of the story is that running and escaping from other people/problems/yourself/friends doesn't make you free,what makes you truly free is living your life,being yourself, sharing happiness with others, experiencing, surrounding yourself with good people ,learning, finding love,being curious,exploring...Because at the end these are the things that really matter
I think the best thing about reading comments on music videos is that the song is playing in the background while you are reading them. it makes it so much more meaningful and special
I was going through the comments and i didn't even realise im hitting up that like button on every comment.. Sometimes i really feel there are such good people hidden in the rules of society ♥ I love you
I personally agree, but i thought it was more about not going to far into oneselfs goal to be totally independant from society and how society still can be handy, even though it is not perfect at all, and that no matter where you are, you will long for something anyhow.
Yes you are right and also I think, there is no final or absolute truth in this life, loss and bitterness will be there wherever you may lead your steps. There is no perfect answer to the questions of life, nor inside us neither outside of us.
the message is just the contrary, as the protagonist says, connect with yourself first and the, if s the case, with people given that people are not the only source of joy.
+Desanka Mladenovic Only thing true about the story is the character Chris McCandless. The film and novel are both fictionally created by the author Jon Krakauer.
+DJC1x42 Um...no. There were painstaking amounts of fact-checking to put the story together. Though we can't be for sure, this story is based off what evidence we have of what happened.
+Drake Johnson I meant that the author had to add in some information that he didn't specifically know about McCandless. The author added information into the book which isn't confirmed that actually happened, such as when McCandless was alone.
this is the best movie ever. It gives you a different perspective in life, and it's just true and inspiring. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even better. Wish I had the guts to be free some day, and be truly happy...
Lilian Rusu wowow i know exactlyy i couldnt stop thinking about it for months after watching it and it has seriously changed my life and views it even made me consider doing the same
grace matherne It's just so beautiful.You know, some of us live our lives thinking that the true happiness is in money, or clothes or material stuff, cars etc...but happiness is just everything around us.The nature, the sun, the beautiful landscapes and the beauty of new experiences, travelling... God made a perfect place for us, and we're just too bad to see it, too greedy. I love how there's a section in the movie called family, and it's not about his parents, but about the people that really care for him, that really see something special in him. This movie gave me a million ideas, and i just can't stop thinking about it
Rest In Peace Chris. They moved the Magic Bus today and has me revisiting your journey today. I hope you gained the knowledge you were searching for in your short life. I admire your ideals that materialism, money and greed are not the things that matter in our lives.
@@horrorland11 i don't think the government would destroy it, probably will be in a museum, i'm not sure if chris would have liked that but at least we will be able to visit it more safely, many people died in the last years trying to get to it, i think that having to risk yourself was part of the journey and magic of the bus, but the story remains in chris words :,)

Alexander supertramp is hidden in every man deep inside. But we are not courageous to leave all the luxurious and live life with two hands and one head.
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” ― Christopher McCandless
thank you Matka. I had forgotten this Chris McCandless quote. You use it correctly, and he wrote it wisely. I am 37, married. We live a life of security, monthly income and we both yearn for adventure.....My English teacher once described my energy as a caged Tiger.... he was right, my energy is still boundless and my taste for extra freedom never seems to end, yet, I have settled for a monthly income as a software programmer... It is right, but so wrong and somedays I wonder what happened to that caged tiger, maybe it died in captivity. x
@@Nautilus1972 in one sense, I agree, but dumb isn't quite the word I would use. Chris' yearning for total freedom and to be tested by life and come out on top are things we all feel from time to time. I personally admire his adventurous spirit, and his willingness to take a few risks... however... had he been better prepared for survivalist living, had he listened to good advice on his trek, he would have written his own best seller about his experiences. The movie would have been based on his own autobiography, and would not have been a loving eulogy to him, written by others. His spiritual seeking was great, but his death was senseless. The extreme risks he took were kind of poorly thought out and impetuous, in some pretty significant ways. I agree with his sister Carinne, in that I too believe that he had no death wish. He was bright, a college graduate who liked to think outside the box. Chris still had much to give and experience. He was actually ready to rejoin the world in some way, with new perspective. It was some of the foolish and obviously deadly decisions he made that doomed him. So while his story is tremendously compelling, it is also needlessly tragic.
Dedicated to my son...Trevor. I love you❤ Please be safe, loyal, honest and humble. Life gives you what you give. I miss you😥 I know your finding your peace.🌸Namaste
My oldest brother lived by this movie. I remember he left college drove home and told us he was driving to California from West Virginia and he did just that. He always was searching for answers, was very good at freeing everyone from their struggles but never found peace himself. RIP to my brother and my best friend. I cherish this soundtrack and movie. 2/6/1988-9/26/2017
For me, this movie is the best. It teachs me not to over isolate myself in the wild and instead, stay close to my beloved one, because yes... " Happiness is onyl real when shared" It also reminds me, to stay close to narure, to my inner child, to my wilderness and never try to fit into society at a point of losing myself. Even thought I always found it crazy, messy, I can find some beauty into it. So I nourrish this comtemplative side not to get angry and bitter about this world. Everything as it's reasons to be. After years, this movie and especially the songs, with those lyrics that are so true and deep , hits me even more. It keeps showing me I'm staying on my path of freedoom and respect for life itself. To accept the process of life that can seems so uncertain when you live by following your heart. I'm leaving really soon for a long travel in South America and my soul cannot wait any longer. Everyday find your joy, choose your path, and no matter what, keep love and faith alive in you. And you'll live and die, in peace. Take care xx
Whenever I feel down I come back to this movie and soundtrack. It reminds me about what’s real in life and what actually matters, I look at my life as the whole picture and figure out what parts of me that need to be worked on. I get the wonderful curiosity of life you experienced as a child when I watch this. It’s a reminder that this life is not over and I can make it into what ever I set my mind to. Carve your existence in Life just like Chris carved his in the piece of wood ❤️
this movie inspired me a lot .im now 21.i traveled some country , because of same feelings.im actually japanese.but, i realize nationality, country is doesn't matter.my emotion was same of him.so i was passionate of philosophy stuff.everyone is feeling something stuff.
the man who loved freedom more then anything, no matter what people would say bad about superstramp, he will forever be a legend of our hearts, Into the wild is the best book I ever read.
I don't see it like that. Chris wanted to escape the abusive world he had inherited and romanticised the idea of living in the wild without really thinking about what he really needed.
@@Laiser I must agree with you on this, he was clearly childish in his heart and mind, and cost him a life, for that kind of living you have to be prepared well, unfortunately his stubbornness led him to death.
I was 15 when I read this book, watched the movie, and learnt of Eddie's music. 10 years passed, and I still look back on how it made me feel at that time. The call of the wild.
My dear friend is currently in a coma from a terrible accident & won't wake up 💔 This was our favourite song together. Please send healing vibes to this beautiful soul, this world needs him still 🌎 ✨️ 🙏
How is it underrated? Every Tom Dick and Harry is a wanna be traveller having watched this movie. They even have it as their social media DP or use it as their username. It's one of the most popular movies ever.
Ik hoop dat je rust kan vinden na deze daad vol onrecht, iets waar jij je hele leven tegen hebt gestreden. Maar weinig mensen die zo het verschil konden maken. Mensen heeft hij de bak in geluld en hij kreeg ze ook uit als ze daar niet hoorde. Man, wat ga ik je missen. 😢 Laten we ook voor hem Tanja thuis brengen ❤️
This movie left a very big hole in my heart. I felt grateful from his wisdom yet cold from loneliness he faced and the way he decided to leave people who valued him for his greatest journey. I feel like he found the answer for him for the question why he left his society, which is bitter sweet that 'happiness is real when shared', but he couldn't have any chances to share anymore.
I concur wholeheartedly. In my 25 years there are three times I can recall having bawled my eyes out - my uncle's death (who I never really knew), the movie 'milk', and this one. interesting to think now that Sean Penn's films have this influence on me (another being the Secret Life of Walter Mitty)
He accidentally poisoned himself and starved... It is a really good book. If you read the book though you realize he had a lot of problems and he broke his family's heart. If it would have been a case of I am going to do this and come back it would been a great. The fact that he decided he went there to never come back is sad. If he just had trained himself before he made the decision to be a survival hermit I would have believed in my heart he didn't have at least a vague death wish. I am grateful his family found him though. That they had closer.
On July 15, 2021, Dutch crime reporter Peter R de Vries died after being shot 9 days earlier. The first sentence of this song was his view and guidance in life. He was a national hero. we miss you Peter. ❤️
This was one of my stepdads favorite songs. He died young, exactly 2 weeks ago due to lung cancer that spread all over his body. I listen to this whenever I want to feel his presence in some odd way. He would sing it a lot and his favorite line was "I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me....guaranteed"
I fell in love with a traveller like him once. He was the same type. Travelled alone for two years with the bear necessities. It broke my heart when he left me to continue his journey. A beautiful, yet short love story nonetheless.
Senn Penn created a real piece of art with this film. How he captured that dreamy feel and wandering vibe is just brilliant. It's also a moving tribute to that young man and his family.
The story of Christopher McCandless is fantastic and inspiring. It is indeed a cliche to say that a story can change someone's life, but this one really can.
Hate to say it man but Chris was a modern day brat that got himself in over his head. I do respect a lot about him and wish I had his courage, but truth be told he was simply reckless with his life and would not adhere to common sense.
Common sense would mean attaining the proper survival training before venturing out like an idiot into one of the most inhospitable terrains on our planet. How would you feel, Brenda Whitson, if your loved one deemed our society unjust and corrupt and disappeared off the face of the Earth without so much as a goodbye. McCandless was selfish... I think at some point in all of our lives we've felt the need to run away from it all. People with common sense deal with their problems like normal people and stay connected to family and friends. Guy was a jerk.
I'm brainwashed am I? No, I think not, instead I possess common sense and the maturity to understand that I have obligations to loved ones. Pity that he didn't understand how much the people he affected on his journey would miss him. Therefore, he's a moron. Have you read the book? Or did you pop in the dvd and now find yourself an expert? Or do you live in a tree somewhere with no "materialistic pleasures?" Amazing considering you're online posting comments? Society has sure done a number on you... Stupid smartphone and laptop and PC. I hate it all. Maybe you should embark on your own little mission. I've read that the bus is still there.
when he leaves the old guy - and the guy knows he will die - he knows it... he will never see him again. not just the best acting ever but it tears me to bits every time - oh and thank you Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder
This song represents, a dying society,. Praise be, to the wanders, artists, and song writter's,, who still keep us free, if only in our minds. Thank you! ☮️
We ALL tell ourselves a story...amd that story will come true, if we belive that story. Does not mean its true for everyone. Takes strong people to get up and do the mundane and take care of their life and face life. . . Facing Life and keeping society takes a heroes....not reclusive people. Artists are artists who are great expressionist of their pain they live in. ... they are not in control of freedom except their own.
Music is not made to be relevant for one spesific year wtf. The lyrics and the instruments can be listened, felt and enjoyed anytime. Human can invent new things but not new feelings. Thats music
In 2007, only 2 days before I was to walk across the USA alone, this movie came out, and my best friend took me to see it. (He had read the book ) and we all know how it ends, so he told me, pleeez dont go,u see Steffen, u would prob die. But I did go, and it was some of the best 6 months of my life, meet some manny good humans, had such a good time, ofc some days was hard, and I was tierd, but most days was just awesome, and peopel from west to east, all was just soo nice to this smal guy from Norway, walking across contry. So thank you, fore the suport, fore you love, fore your contry, your musik enspierd me more, and I had this song out of 83 on my mp3 player 😂❤️😊headsett wile walking.. just love it. And still do 😊❤️
That's amazing man. I want to walk from West to East too in USA. It's always been a dream of me. Great to read about someone who actually did it and had a blast. I hope you have a wonderful life.
One of the best movies ever, I make it a priority to watch it once every year, makes me feel refreshed and grateful for everything every time the credits roll. Rest In Peace supertramp
Please do it whoever you are. I promise you, whatever trial and tribulation you encounter, despite the isolating nature of it and the unrelenting challenges it may bring, All which you bare today will be relinquished, and you will live life to your absolute fullest. Don’t settle, do all what you must to live all that you can, most true to yourself, and driven by that pure, adventurous and soul-abiding drive of the human spirit. I hope you do.
Still searching for my courage to lead a life like he lived, leaving all the materialistic this behind and reconnect with the nature . hope I find it in days to come.
I studied this film for English in my last year of high school. My grades had been steadily dropping since Year 10 and I had so many self esteem issues around my school work. I have ADHD and had no idea then. And then I watched this film, and somehow it all just clicked for me. Like literally just in a single moment. I put in more work that semester than I had in the rest of my years as a student and I wasn't stuck for a second. Somehow I was lucky enough to ace the end of year English exam, and now I'm doing my dream course at uni. I don't know how I would've gone if it were any other story. I'm so glad it was this incredible one.
@@aw3s0m3man Good stuff, keep off the psychoactives whilst our rudimentary knowledge of consciousness, pyschology, and neurochemistry advance to a level where treatment is personalised to your physiology. The current system looks dangerous and irresponsible, diagnostic guesswork coupled with hard drugs in developing children, no thanks. We still don't even understand the role of the microbiome in mental health, I'd be wary inviting cavemen to work in rockets. Stick to natural mechanisms to ameliorate the downsides you face, deal with core issues not the fallout they create. Best of luck.
Lots of people suffering from depression have this song in their favourite list including myself…I hope everyone looks forward to a better time coz I’m sure a lot of us will. God bless and speed
Come back to this song when things are a little hectic in life for myself. Not here to boast or vent my past... Life is filled with pain and the hardest thing is silencing whatever pains that are out of our control. Always speak whats on your heart and never be afraid to put someone in their place. God is love and love is truth. God bless you all.
I have to thank my mom for having appreciation for this kind of music... I hope to see Eddie Vedder live someday... He's just on another level of emotions.
Very inspiring. Tho, I believe at the end he came to the realization that he is human, and needs human contact. How lonely he must have been in the final days.
Its also sad the film did not acknowledge, fully, his past. A father that had two families, as well as the abuse. We are all animals, and as such, products of our environment. He chose a path he thought was best for him, sadly, the world had other plans. If anything , his adventure serves to remind us the importance of forgiveness, even when not deserved. And of compassion, how essential compassion is.
WolfPack LTD I agree the journey was great but once he reached his "destination" he realizes that no man is an island, or what he writes in the book "happiness is only real when shared"
6 Months later I respond, haha. Yes, indeed. "No man is an island". You a Ben Howard fan by chance? Also, my thoughts on him changed dramatically after doing a lot of research and contemplation. To me , now, he was selfish. It is easy to be dragged into the Romanticism of it all. But at the end of the day, he claimed to be about letting go of society. To me, that is simply giving up on society, when one ought to focus on contributing to it, to perhaps help, even in a small way, to improve it. He clearly had other issues other than society in general. I believe that society took the brunt of his aggravation, with more personal issues he absolutely failed to address. But then he was human, flawed. Rather than mimic his way of thinking, we ought to consider his mistakes, and learn from those. So in the end what he did was not in vein, I do not believe. Just like all of us, none are perfect. Imperfection is how our beautiful species learns. We are still learning. What we need to do is recognize that we have room for growth.
Everyone has a little bit of Alexander Supertramp in themselves, I have never been the same person since watching "into the wild". Sean Penn did an incredible job when he brought the book by John Krakauer to life, along with a the most beautiful soundtrack by Eddie Vedder. My eyes and ears, my smiles and tears , thank you so much for bringing Christopher back to life for everyone, Emile Hirsch, probably the greatest work you have ever done,thank you, God bless the Mccandless family 🙏
Emile Hirsch did an excellent job, amazingly captured the spirit and emotions of Christopher Oh my god I balled my eyes out in the cinema when I saw this movie😢😢
Rip Peter R. de Vries, please rest in peace we had to let you go way too early! My condolences to the family, country and to those who also have been affected who don't know him personally. ❤️
yes. it taught to carry a compass if i ever intend to get lost in the middle of nowhere. also, in case of doing that, to bring my own nourishments (or at least try not to eat poisonous ones) and, of course, it taught me to actually do my homework on the place im going.
He didn't really need a compass because he had a map of the area with him....and they didn't positively say that he died from a poisonous plant. They said that the plant is pretty harmless to those in good health, not so much with those who are physically stressed and haven't been eating regularly. Which is why they said that it "may" have contributed to his death, not that it was the actual cause.
john smith So are you saying the entire book and movie was just some guy going into the wild unprepared? That's the gist that I'm getting. And that's exactly what you're supposed to think. The POINT was that he didn't have anything. The POINT was that he survived off the damn land. It would be purposeless if he just brought 'his own nourishments' and/or a 'compass' in case he got lost.
I remember going alone to the mountains hiking listening this album on the bus watching the landscapes out the window...oh man..10 years ago...drops a tear*
Happiness is only real ... when shared!❤️ love the part where the sun broke from the clouds ...when they were talking about forgiveness..that was almost sureal!
Happiness is only real ... when shared!❤️ love the part where the sun broke from the clouds ...when they were talking about forgiveness..that was almost sureal!
Ever since i watched this movie (7 years ago) all my future plans converged onto isolating myself in the wilderness, i'm almost there.. painful ride... Wish me luck !
The way this man reached out to me and helped me recognize my own trauma allowed me to realize I couldn’t stay in the same patterns and lifestyles I was living. I needed to share my freedom instead of calling it was freedom in actuality was self imposed isolation. But that self imposed isolation taught me so so much. I have been able to marry, get therapy, my diagnosis, work as a psw, and working on my early childhood education diploma and aim for my license. It’s been a bumpy road but beautifully tragic.
Although my circumstances were entirely different then yours in the run up to this wonderful discovery we share and the way it changed my outlook/thinking was also quite different, I am struck the fact that despite all those differences both of our lives were completely and irreversibly changed for the better. This is perhaps the most beautiful aspect of music in my opinion. I hope you are doing well. If you are not, just keep reminding yourself that tomorrow is always another day and keep exploring music, you'll make it.
reading these comments make me happy there are actually people out there that understand I just wish we all could meet up and create our own society or talk more deeply to bad we all probably miles away from each other I hope to meet everyone in these comments in real life
"Guaranteed" (from "Into The Wild" soundtrack) On bended knee is no way to be free Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently That all my destinations will accept the one that's me So I can breathe Circles they grow and they swallow people whole Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know Got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul And so it goes Don't come closer or I'll have to go Owning me like gravity are places that pull If ever there was someone to keep me at home It would be you Everyone I come across in cages they bought They think of me and my wandering but I'm never what they thought Got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts I'm alive Wind in my hair I feel part of everywhere Underneath my being is a road that disappeared Late at night I hear the trees they're singing with the dead Overhead Leave it to me as I find a way to be Consider me a satellite forever orbiting I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me Guaranteed
I know the song very well. I thought I tried singing it along with the lyrics but I couldn't read good enough through my tears to sing.( but let's keep that between us
What I learned by Christopher idealism is and it may seem sad but is the idea is the idea is that I cant lose when I already lost it all. The one who lost everything is free to do anything. I've lost my mom, my dad, my home and currently wearing a deadmans jacket. I live in a homeless shelter and sleep on a bed of desperation but I answer to no one. I am more free then I will ever be anywhere I will be because if I die tomorrow I can die knowing I tried. I suffered, toiled and got to enjoy the very little vests of life that people take for granted. I have slept under bridges and had to defend workers who housed me under the threat of death but regret nothing because how can you take from a man who has nothing? And nothing is the principle. All your worthless shit, vehicles, status and money mean nothing when you have nothing. I watch people in the mall and throw away meals I would kill for and complain that they were over cooked.
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal." - Byron

I saw this movie when I was a programmer.
This movie was a shock to me, as I was busy with my work every day in Tokyo.
Before I knew it, I was off on a trip around America. I left my job, I left my relationships.
I have no regrets. Thank you so much to all the people who were kind to me in the U.S. when I couldn't speak English.
I want to return the favor.
That sounds amazing. I would love to meet you and hear your story.
Which movie?
@@creativecorner4715 into the wild
did you become a programmer? Did you return to Japan?
Please tell me you didn't mistake some plant for another plant?!
You know, the moral of the story is that running and escaping from other people/problems/yourself/friends doesn't make you free,what makes you truly free is living your life,being yourself, sharing happiness with others, experiencing, surrounding yourself with good people ,learning, finding love,being curious,exploring...Because at the end these are the things that really matter
You don't pain then betrayal and the pain of the system
Who are you to cast judgment on one
actually all that you say happens to alex in his trip
@@Monkeuyy yep, in the book it clarifies that he doesnt wanna die and regrets about his desicions in life
Different things matter to different people...
Not everything is about learning a moral. Some things are just for experience, even if it's harsh.
Rest in peace, Peter R. de Vries.
I did the same in the Himalayas. The happy part is, I am alive and finished the dream of writing a book on travels.
But Society never Understood :)

I think the best thing about reading comments on music videos is that the song is playing in the background while you are reading them. it makes it so much more meaningful and special
Seriously man. I always feel the same ❤️
Such Substance in that movie
I totally agree with your comment!!!
Yes. You said it.
Yeah
If Chris was sick of society in the early 90s, imagine if he lived nowadays.
Lol he would have nuked it 🤣 😂
even alaska he would have found crowded
He would've committed suicide at the opening of the movie.
I was going through the comments and i didn't even realise im hitting up that like button on every comment.. Sometimes i really feel there are such good people hidden in the rules of society ♥ I love you

Everyone lives the same, not more or less. Some people travel some people don't but they are both living.
The message of the movie is: Connect with people, share joy with others. Don't isolate yourself, even when society is not perfect.
Fuck that I'd love to do what he did
I personally agree, but i thought it was more about not going to far into oneselfs goal to be totally independant from society and how society still can be handy, even though it is not perfect at all, and that no matter where you are, you will long for something anyhow.
Yes you are right and also I think, there is no final or absolute truth in this life, loss and bitterness will be there wherever you may lead your steps. There is no perfect answer to the questions of life, nor inside us neither outside of us.
the message is just the contrary, as the protagonist says, connect with yourself first and the, if s the case, with people given that people are not the only source of joy.
Solitude is true gift that not everybody can owe.
Still one of the greatest films of all time
Edit: Nearly 2020 THANKS for agreeing!
+Desanka Mladenovic Only thing true about the story is the character Chris McCandless. The film and novel are both fictionally created by the author Jon Krakauer.
+Desanka Mladenovic Still a great story though!
+DJC1x42 Um...no. There were painstaking amounts of fact-checking to put the story together. Though we can't be for sure, this story is based off what evidence we have of what happened.
+Drake Johnson I meant that the author had to add in some information that he didn't specifically know about McCandless. The author added information into the book which isn't confirmed that actually happened, such as when McCandless was alone.
+Drake Johnson The book is more accurate and actually more interesting in my humble opinion. That said, I loved the movie for what it was...

wowow i know exactlyy i couldnt stop thinking about it for months after watching it and it has seriously changed my life and views it even made me consider doing the same
grace matherne It's just so beautiful.You know, some of us live our lives thinking that the true happiness is in money, or clothes or material stuff, cars etc...but happiness is just everything around us.The nature, the sun, the beautiful landscapes and the beauty of new experiences, travelling...
God made a perfect place for us, and we're just too bad to see it, too greedy.
I love how there's a section in the movie called family, and it's not about his parents, but about the people that really care for him, that really see something special in him.
This movie gave me a million ideas, and i just can't stop thinking about it

“Happiness is only real when shared”- Christopher McCandless
its true but not sot really.
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
― Christopher McCandless
thank you Matka. I had forgotten this Chris McCandless quote. You use it correctly, and he wrote it wisely. I am 37, married. We live a life of security, monthly income and we both yearn for adventure.....My English teacher once described my energy as a caged Tiger.... he was right, my energy is still boundless and my taste for extra freedom never seems to end, yet, I have settled for a monthly income as a software programmer... It is right, but so wrong and somedays I wonder what happened to that caged tiger, maybe it died in captivity. x

Stop pretending he was some kind of sauvant. He was 3 kms from civilization - his death was dumb.
@@Nautilus1972 in one sense, I agree, but dumb isn't quite the word I would use. Chris' yearning for total freedom and to be tested by life and come out on top are things we all feel from time to time. I personally admire his adventurous spirit, and his willingness to take a few risks... however... had he been better prepared for survivalist living, had he listened to good advice on his trek, he would have written his own best seller about his experiences. The movie would have been based on his own autobiography, and would not have been a loving eulogy to him, written by others. His spiritual seeking was great, but his death was senseless. The extreme risks he took were kind of poorly thought out and impetuous, in some pretty significant ways. I agree with his sister Carinne, in that I too believe that he had no death wish. He was bright, a college graduate who liked to think outside the box. Chris still had much to give and experience. He was actually ready to rejoin the world in some way, with new perspective. It was some of the foolish and obviously deadly decisions he made that doomed him. So while his story is tremendously compelling, it is also needlessly tragic.

My oldest brother lived by this movie. I remember he left college drove home and told us he was driving to California from West Virginia and he did just that. He always was searching for answers, was very good at freeing everyone from their struggles but never found peace himself. RIP to my brother and my best friend. I cherish this soundtrack and movie. 2/6/1988-9/26/2017
Will Jones do you mind sharing what happened to him?
@@juxsoundz4822 he starved to death in a bus, alone, away from all the people who loved and cared for him.
what the fuk happened to your brother?
my condolences, but what happened?
@Nakul Garg I dunno, you tell me...??
For me, this movie is the best.
It teachs me not to over isolate myself in the wild and instead, stay close to my beloved one, because yes... " Happiness is onyl real when shared"
It also reminds me, to stay close to narure, to my inner child, to my wilderness and never try to fit into society at a point of losing myself. Even thought I always found it crazy, messy, I can find some beauty into it. So I nourrish this comtemplative side not to get angry and bitter about this world. Everything as it's reasons to be.
After years, this movie and
especially the songs, with those lyrics that are so true and deep , hits me even more. It keeps showing me I'm staying on my path of freedoom and respect for life itself. To accept the process of life that can seems so uncertain when you live by following your heart.
I'm leaving really soon for a long travel in South America and my soul cannot wait any longer.
Everyday find your joy, choose your path, and no matter what, keep love and faith alive in you. And you'll live and die, in peace.
Take care xx
I wish you a great travel
Whenever I feel down I come back to this movie and soundtrack. It reminds me about what’s real in life and what actually matters, I look at my life as the whole picture and figure out what parts of me that need to be worked on. I get the wonderful curiosity of life you experienced as a child when I watch this. It’s a reminder that this life is not over and I can make it into what ever I set my mind to. Carve your existence in Life just like Chris carved his in the piece of wood ❤️

How is it underrated? Every Tom Dick and Harry is a wanna be traveller having watched this movie. They even have it as their social media DP or use it as their username. It's one of the most popular movies ever.
This movie is a masterpiece. I think so too
Two years he walked the earth, no phone, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom
Mike32 haha
dani cali It’s a quote that McCandless really liked.
This movie has a deep impact on me... Everytime I watch it the impact increases even more
I don’t care if people think he was stupid, it was his spirit that was pure
I think ever boy should watch dead poet's society at 13...and this masterpiece at 18. It's a spiritual journey.

on bended knee is no way to be free, RIP Peter
Helaas zitten nog teveel mensen op hun knieën.
This movie left a very big hole in my heart. I felt grateful from his wisdom yet cold from loneliness he faced and the way he decided to leave people who valued him for his greatest journey. I feel like he found the answer for him for the question why he left his society, which is bitter sweet that 'happiness is real when shared', but he couldn't have any chances to share anymore.
to leave*
I concur wholeheartedly. In my 25 years there are three times I can recall having bawled my eyes out - my uncle's death (who I never really knew), the movie 'milk', and this one. interesting to think now that Sean Penn's films have this influence on me (another being the Secret Life of Walter Mitty)
PartiZAn18 I love that Walter Mitty movie too! I haven't watched Milk yet but I will :-)
Yes but he lived greatly and his spirit sores I'm sure.
He accidentally poisoned himself and starved... It is a really good book. If you read the book though you realize he had a lot of problems and he broke his family's heart. If it would have been a case of I am going to do this and come back it would been a great. The fact that he decided he went there to never come back is sad. If he just had trained himself before he made the decision to be a survival hermit I would have believed in my heart he didn't have at least a vague death wish. I am grateful his family found him though. That they had closer.
Rust zacht Peter 🥀 Dit had je echt niet verdiend na je zoveel ingezet te hebben voor anderen..

On July 15, 2021, Dutch crime reporter Peter R de Vries died after being shot 9 days earlier. The first sentence of this song was his view and guidance in life. He was a national hero. we miss you Peter. ❤️
This was one of my stepdads favorite songs. He died young, exactly 2 weeks ago due to lung cancer that spread all over his body. I listen to this whenever I want to feel his presence in some odd way. He would sing it a lot and his favorite line was "I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me....guaranteed"
condolences, sorry
My condolences ❤
I fell in love with a traveller like him once. He was the same type. Travelled alone for two years with the bear necessities. It broke my heart when he left me to continue his journey. A beautiful, yet short love story nonetheless.
Better to have love and loss than to have not loved at all...
Senn Penn created a real piece of art with this film. How he captured that dreamy feel and wandering vibe is just brilliant. It's also a moving tribute to that young man and his family.
"On bended knee is no way to be free." 💔
Peter R de Vries. 🥀
The story of Christopher McCandless is fantastic and inspiring. It is indeed a cliche to say that a story can change someone's life, but this one really can.
Hate to say it man but Chris was a modern day brat that got himself in over his head. I do respect a lot about him and wish I had his courage, but truth be told he was simply reckless with his life and would not adhere to common sense.
nope he was a tard
It's an amazing story. The book is great.
Common sense would mean attaining the proper survival training before venturing out like an idiot into one of the most inhospitable terrains on our planet. How would you feel, Brenda Whitson, if your loved one deemed our society unjust and corrupt and disappeared off the face of the Earth without so much as a goodbye. McCandless was selfish... I think at some point in all of our lives we've felt the need to run away from it all. People with common sense deal with their problems like normal people and stay connected to family and friends. Guy was a jerk.
I'm brainwashed am I? No, I think not, instead I possess common sense and the maturity to understand that I have obligations to loved ones. Pity that he didn't understand how much the people he affected on his journey would miss him. Therefore, he's a moron. Have you read the book? Or did you pop in the dvd and now find yourself an expert? Or do you live in a tree somewhere with no "materialistic pleasures?" Amazing considering you're online posting comments? Society has sure done a number on you... Stupid smartphone and laptop and PC. I hate it all. Maybe you should embark on your own little mission. I've read that the bus is still there.
when he leaves the old guy - and the guy knows he will die - he knows it... he will never see him again. not just the best acting ever but it tears me to bits every time - oh and thank you Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder

I studied this film for English in my last year of high school. My grades had been steadily dropping since Year 10 and I had so many self esteem issues around my school work. I have ADHD and had no idea then. And then I watched this film, and somehow it all just clicked for me. Like literally just in a single moment. I put in more work that semester than I had in the rest of my years as a student and I wasn't stuck for a second. Somehow I was lucky enough to ace the end of year English exam, and now I'm doing my dream course at uni. I don't know how I would've gone if it were any other story. I'm so glad it was this incredible one.

@@aw3s0m3man Good stuff, keep off the psychoactives whilst our rudimentary knowledge of consciousness, pyschology, and neurochemistry advance to a level where treatment is personalised to your physiology.

Stick to natural mechanisms to ameliorate the downsides you face, deal with core issues not the fallout they create. Best of luck.

Lots of people suffering from depression have this song in their favourite list including myself…I hope everyone looks forward to a better time coz I’m sure a lot of us will. God bless and speed
Come back to this song when things are a little hectic in life for myself.
Not here to boast or vent my past... Life is filled with pain and the hardest thing is silencing whatever pains that are out of our control.
Always speak whats on your heart and never be afraid to put someone in their place. God is love and love is truth.
God bless you all.
I have to thank my mom for having appreciation for this kind of music... I hope to see Eddie Vedder live someday... He's just on another level of emotions.
Very inspiring. Tho, I believe at the end he came to the realization that he is human, and needs human contact. How lonely he must have been in the final days.
Its also sad the film did not acknowledge, fully, his past.
A father that had two families, as well as the abuse. We are all animals, and as such, products of our environment. He chose a path he thought was best for him, sadly, the world had other plans. If anything , his adventure serves to remind us the importance of forgiveness, even when not deserved. And of compassion, how essential compassion is.
WolfPack LTD I agree the journey was great but once he reached his "destination" he realizes that no man is an island, or what he writes in the book "happiness is only real when shared"
6 Months later I respond, haha.
Yes, indeed. "No man is an island". You a Ben Howard fan by chance?
Also, my thoughts on him changed dramatically after doing a lot of research and contemplation. To me , now, he was selfish. It is easy to be dragged into the Romanticism of it all. But at the end of the day, he claimed to be about letting go of society. To me, that is simply giving up on society, when one ought to focus on contributing to it, to perhaps help, even in a small way, to improve it. He clearly had other issues other than society in general. I believe that society took the brunt of his aggravation, with more personal issues he absolutely failed to address. But then he was human, flawed. Rather than mimic his way of thinking, we ought to consider his mistakes, and learn from those. So in the end what he did was not in vein, I do not believe. Just like all of us, none are perfect. Imperfection is how our beautiful species learns. We are still learning. What we need to do is recognize that we have room for growth.
Everyone has a little bit of Alexander Supertramp in themselves, I have never been the same person since watching "into the wild".
Sean Penn did an incredible job when he brought the book by John Krakauer to life, along with a the most beautiful soundtrack by Eddie Vedder.
My eyes and ears, my smiles and tears , thank you so much for bringing Christopher back to life for everyone,

yes. it taught to carry a compass if i ever intend to get lost in the middle of nowhere. also, in case of doing that, to bring my own nourishments (or at least try not to eat poisonous ones) and, of course, it taught me to actually do my homework on the place im going.
you do seem like a badass.
He didn't really need a compass because he had a map of the area with him....and they didn't positively say that he died from a poisonous plant. They said that the plant is pretty harmless to those in good health, not so much with those who are physically stressed and haven't been eating regularly. Which is why they said that it "may" have contributed to his death, not that it was the actual cause.
john smith So are you saying the entire book and movie was just some guy going into the wild unprepared? That's the gist that I'm getting. And that's exactly what you're supposed to think. The POINT was that he didn't have anything. The POINT was that he survived off the damn land.
It would be purposeless if he just brought 'his own nourishments' and/or a 'compass' in case he got lost.
I feel the same way man
everytime, before i head to trek, i listen to into the wild's track and it makes me feel even more alive and makes me realize how precious our life is
👍
We shall miss you peter, you can rest now. ❤️😔
Rest easy, Peter.
This movie was a life changing experience.. Happiness only exists when shared.
I remember going alone to the mountains hiking listening this album on the bus watching the landscapes out the window...oh man..10 years ago...drops a tear*
Rest in peace, Chris. We'll never forget you. August, 18th 1992
RIP Peter R de Vries😪

I have an undying love for this film
Ever since i watched this movie (7 years ago) all my future plans converged onto isolating myself in the wilderness, i'm almost there.. painful ride... Wish me luck !
Is there any reason you've decided to do that ?
Well why are u on youtube posting comments?.. turn ur phone off and go chill in the woods all day
@@neverquit123 it's not that easy for a third worlder
@@Fireviewbox Well, you better hurry the fuck up about it. The world is going to end soon...
@@Fireviewbox it literally doesnt matter where u are... if u learn how to survive in the wild u can go out in any wilderness.. third world or not
The way this man reached out to me and helped me recognize my own trauma allowed me to realize I couldn’t stay in the same patterns and lifestyles I was living.
I needed to share my freedom instead of calling it was freedom in actuality was self imposed isolation.
But that self imposed isolation taught me so so much.
I have been able to marry, get therapy, my diagnosis, work as a psw, and working on my early childhood education diploma and aim for my license. It’s been a bumpy road but beautifully tragic.
Where Did You Go ?
Although my circumstances were entirely different then yours in the run up to this wonderful discovery we share and the way it changed my outlook/thinking was also quite different, I am struck the fact that despite all those differences both of our lives were completely and irreversibly changed for the better.
This is perhaps the most beautiful aspect of music in my opinion. I hope you are doing well. If you are not, just keep reminding yourself that tomorrow is always another day and keep exploring music, you'll make it.
reading these comments make me happy there are actually people out there that understand I just wish we all could meet up and create our own society or talk more deeply to bad we all probably miles away from each other I hope to meet everyone in these comments in real life
Love from India to you brother 👍
We shall make this reality. NOW.
You are wild and we are wild and dreams are wild so we are going wild and remain wild - jordan

Follow me on instagram @imthtwildone .. i am a filmmaker and i travel alot.. DM me if i am in your country.. would love to meet anyone of you...
"Guaranteed"
(from "Into The Wild" soundtrack)
On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
That all my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
Got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Owning me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you
Everyone I come across in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering but I'm never what they thought
Got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive
Wind in my hair I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees they're singing with the dead
Overhead
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
I know the song very well. I thought I tried singing it along with the lyrics but I couldn't read good enough through my tears to sing.( but let's keep that between us
Thank you
THX so much! 🙏🙏🙏

He is my son's uncle. Epic and tragic story....God Bless Chris and family
Is he ?
So he was your brother?
@@xyzklm2087 Timothy may be the husband of Chris's sister Carine?
Chris was the half brother to an entirely different family so they could actually be related. Regardless, he is an inspiration

When you feel as though you can no longer live in this world as it is. BEAUTIFUL
What I learned by Christopher idealism is and it may seem sad but is the idea is the idea is that I cant lose when I already lost it all. The one who lost everything is free to do anything. I've lost my mom, my dad, my home and currently wearing a deadmans jacket. I live in a homeless shelter and sleep on a bed of desperation but I answer to no one. I am more free then I will ever be anywhere I will be because if I die tomorrow I can die knowing I tried. I suffered, toiled and got to enjoy the very little vests of life that people take for granted. I have slept under bridges and had to defend workers who housed me under the threat of death but regret nothing because how can you take from a man who has nothing? And nothing is the principle. All your worthless shit, vehicles, status and money mean nothing when you have nothing. I watch people in the mall and throw away meals I would kill for and complain that they were over cooked.
i wish you power and you right
I see you
@@AllPartOfThePlan100 me too
Du wundervolle Seele, komm zu mir, ich habe Platz für dich 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

wenn ich dir nur glauben könnte...
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal."
- Byron
