This weekend I saw the new film, Into the Wild.There are few films that live up to their hype, and this was one of them. Sean Penn, the movie's director, has come a long way from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The nearly 3 hour movie was breathtakingly beautiful and completely inspiring. To watch someone wrestle their demons while they embark on a spiritual (and literal) journey of a lifetime, all but held a mirror up to my own life. The reflection? Well, it confirmed a few things, suggested a few answers, but more than anything it caused me to ask some important questions. (Yes the film was that good).
If that weren't enough, the sheer beauty of nature depicted in this film, was downright hypnotic. I couldn't help but feel pulled in by the siren song of Mother Nature; emerging from the film wanting to sell all of my possessions and to give my self fully to her. (Or at least try to live in harmony with her a little more). Anyone know where I can find a dream catcher, spam and something tie-dyed?
