Into the Wild American historical drama from 2007, written, co-produced, and directed by Sean Penn. It is a variation of Jon Krakauer's 1996 book with the same name telling the story of Christopher McCandless (Alexander Supertramp), a man who wandered in the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s passing through North America.

Something the Wild is a film based on real events that inspired Jon Krakauer’s book with the same name. The film stars Emile Hirsch as McCandless, Marcia Gay Harden as William Hurt and his parents, and Jena Malone, Catherine Keener, Brian Dierker, Vince Vaughn, Kristen Stewart, and Hal Holbrook. The film shifts between the time Chris (McCandless) and Emile (Hirsch) spend on their way to Alaska and the time they spend after arriving in the country.

When a college student was alone in 1992 wandering around Christopher McCandless's Alaskan desert, the film travels between places and people he meets: South Dakota, California, the southwestern desert, and the Colorado River. He donates his college money to aid, leaves his car, converts his name to Alexander Supertramp, and travels across the country. Next to her sister Corine (Jena Malone), who narrates the film, Corine's story gives us a deeper understanding of Chris' personality and the reasons that led to her decision to seek solitude in Alaska.

Into the Wild is the fascinating true story of Christopher McCandless, a brilliant young American college student who in disgust that his parents sent his $ 24,000 wallet to Oxfam, donated everything he had and wandered the wilderness seeking a full recovery, unscathed by money, work, and rat racing, in the style of his heroes Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, and Jack London. We meet Christopher (Emile Hirsch), a true dreamer, and the reaction of his proud parents William (Hurt Marcia Gay Harden) and his confused sister (Jena Malone). Hirsch does a good job as a smart and talkative young McCandles, who is furious at the world for leaving his house on the street, and William and his grieving parents, stay with them until the end.

Sean Penn's book Into the Wild tells the sad story of Christopher McCandless, who was shunned and disappeared in the Alaskan desert in 1992 at the age of 24. His journey, sadly recorded in Jon Krakauer's excellent book of the same name, has been postponed here. McCandle's story is told by handwritten and hand-crafted accounts, and like Jon's book, these are the filmmaker's Sean Penn uses as the skeleton of his latest film, The Wild.

Sean Penn's humorous practice of the book is always close to the source. After five years transforming Friedrich Durrenmatt's metaphorical mystery, The Pledge into a charming and inferior person, Sean Penn returns with the erroneous but clever acquaintance of Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer's untrue story of 22-year-old Christopher McCandless's forgettable journey. . An interesting story based on real events, written as Jon Kracauer's book, Penn himself changed it.

Jon Krakauer tells the true story of Chris McCandless, a respected physician from Emory University, who traveled to the Alaskan desert in 1992 and found himself with a divided family with no friends and the thoughts of his heart. His life story of North America’s delightful love of nature, re-edited in his diary and transformed into a best-selling author, was transformed into a Sean Penn film. If you’ve read this book and described Chris as a madman who died of arrogance and stupidity, Penn’s adaptation is not for you.

In The Wild is the fourth film directed by Sean Penn and runs from beginning to end. The film lasts two hours and twenty-five minutes, and Penn's lead man Emile Hirsch (Lord of Dogtown) presents the award-winning drama with an amazing depth and personality. The film's longer scenes, which Hirsch develops in front of the camera, look like a show, and the addition of Eddie Vedder to the original song exposes Pen's natural tendency to cunning.

The film rarely changes even the most persistent ideas, but that’s exactly what Sean Penn did with his excellent copy of Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild. We are all influenced by the movies, music, and books we read, and Chris McCandless is no different. Every time we are told how her parents are.

While Christopher Johnson (McCandless) and Emile Hirsch, the main characters of this reality drama, graduating from Emory University in 1990, turned to their presiding father (William Hurt) and his aspiring father (Marcia Gay Harden) to receive a gift - a new car - and donate with their $ 24,000 savings from Harvard Law School a charity that burns their social security cards and eliminates their credit cards.
