Notes from Into The Wild
Posted in Movies, Personal Growth Literature on June 26, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Into The Wild is story about Chris McCandless‘ experiences after graduating from Emory University. Instead of taking the conventional route after graduating college, Chris left his upper middle class family to “LIVE LIFE”.
[Chris was] an American wanderer who adopted the name Alexander Supertramp and hiked into the Alaskan wilderness with little food and equipment, hoping to live a period of solitude.
Notable Quotes:
“I read somewhere… how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong… but to feel strong.”
“[written into book] Happiness only real when shared.”
“Mr. Franz I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don’t want one.”
-Christopher McCandless
Despite all this jazz by Hollywood, which is extremely convincing while you are watching the movie, I was disappointed to discover that his journey may not have been as remarkable as was presented in the film.
Alaskan Park Ranger Peter Christian wrote: “I am exposed continually to what I will call the ‘McCandless Phenomenon.’ People, nearly always young men, come to Alaska to challenge themselves against an unforgiving wilderness landscape where convenience of access and possibility of rescue are practically nonexistent […] When you consider McCandless from my perspective, you quickly see that what he did wasn’t even particularly daring, just stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate. First off, he spent very little time learning how to actually live in the wild. He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he [had] had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament […]
This just brings me back to reality. I was really feeling this movie, but this romanticized Hollywood movie probably isn’t what it is all cracked up to be and the above passage helped me see that. Still, there’s got to be more than life than working that 9 to 5.
Watch Batman – The Dark Knight (2008) Full Movie

Dark Knight or Batman!
The “The Dark Knight” has just grossed $300 million in sales in 10 days. Eclipsing the previous speed mark of 16 days set by “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest”.
IMDb- The Internet Movie Database shows that users are ranking “The Dark Knight” an average of 9.4/10 stars. In my opinion, anything over 7 stars is considered a good movie. That has been my experience.
Trailers don’t do the movie justice. You have to watch the full movie.

Wanted (2008)
This movie has been out for a while now, but WOW it’s a great film.
Sloan: It a choice, Wesley, that each of us must face: to remain ordinary, pathetic, beat-down, coasting through a miserable existence, like sheep herded by fate, or you can take control of your own destiny and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside. Our purpose is to maintain stability in an unstable world – kill one, save a thousand. Within the fabric of this world, every life hangs by a thread. We are that thread – a fraternity of assassins with the weapons of fate. This is the decision that lies before you know: the sheep, or the wolf. The choice is yours.

Excellent Movie. Nuff said.
“Rounders is a 1998 film about the underground world of high-stakes poker. Directed by John Dahl and starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton, the movie follows two friends who need to quickly earn enough cash playing poker to pay off a huge debt. The term “rounder” refers to a person whose sole means of earning a living is by playing cards.” –Wikipedia
