It's not an instant classic or anything, but it is a great film.

Its kind of hard to follow, but it is loaded with good actors, and its kinda good once you figure out wtf is goin on.

Sure, ask away...


Kidding, I think its a weak version of Walden Pond. I also think it was boring as hell. I even enjoyed The hatchet and brians winter better. I know those last two books had a different idea behing them, but thats more of what I was hoping for from Into the Wild. Also, I feel its overrated because every college kid in the 'indie' scene jumped all over it. From reviews and trailers I thought there would be much more to the movie. I know i'll prob get tore up for that last sentence.

I see. Well, I've not much to say now because I haven't seen Walden Pond. I've read Walden, but didn't realize there is a movie. I didn't think it was boring. I rarely cry in movies and this absolutely touched me. The last two books you mentioned kind of rings a bell, but I'm not familiar with them. Author?

Why? The Departed was parts 1 and 2 conjoined. Ray Winstones American accent is awful (and he's one of my favourite actors too). It opens with a Rolling Stone song that is just so cliched and reminds me of Casino and Goodfellas. It was certainly watchable but oscar material-pah. Just a sympathy vote. has anyone seen the original material? now that is tights as a nuns bits even if the acting is not quite up there with some in The departed.

I haven't seen it but... It's Martin f*cking Scorsese.

And not to say he hasn't done some less than stellar films, even his worst films are at least OK.

Well, I really hated the Cape Fear remake, but other than that.

I meant Walden the book, Im just a bit retarded. The last two are books by Gary Paulsen. They are more about a character being stranded and having to survive, other than willingness to live like that. Dont get me wrong I did enjoy Into the Wild, I just feel it is overrated, kind of like Godspeed.....emperor.
