Into The Wild (2007) - End Scene

[@simonwilson7581]

Aside from the story, this is a cinematic sensation. The directing and storytelling alone makes me tearful.

[@santiagomanjarres8248]

You can judge him, you can question him, but what we can't deny is that we all had the thought of escaping at some point and leaving it all behind. Christopher McCandless did it, died and had the humility to leave us all the lesson: “Happiness is only real when it is shared”. Nothing more to say, those last words speak for themselves. In his last moments he understood that happiness does not depend on running away from everyone. But staying true to your ideals, caring and sharing life with your loved ones.

[@bluebagel8084]

TBH the dude F%^$ed up big time. Did not prepare nor had any idea what he was doing. Brought no maps or emergency supplies. He realised to late he wanted to get back home.

[@noumanintown]

Everyone, especially young people, should watch this film. Now more than ever we are living in greater isolation, fooled by an illusion of having friends and family, with barely nurtured relationships that can crack and crumble at any time. We are not meant to be alone, to burn bridges, to shun society and believe we can thrive. Don’t look at outliers and think that’s the norm. Outside of extreme circumstances, most people need to remember to be willing to forgive, forget, mend relationships, and believe in love and fraternity. Brilliant film. Kudos to Penn, Hirsch, Vedder and everyone else involved.

[@noumanintown]

@@alesism16 read the comment again. It means you can be under the illusion of having family and friends (i.e. social media and minimal real world interaction or bonds) but you need to nurture them for them to mean something. It’s in the context of how there’s so much media today that constantly tells us to identify red flags, cut off people from your life, shrink your circle, don’t accept anything but a model/perfect relationship or family etc. And what we have got is an epidemic of loneliness in the West.

[@alesism16]

[@rayyanmerchant6681]

​​@@noumanintownthat's exactly why the media is the way it is, because for any troubled relationship to mend, or more accurately , for it have any hope to mend, one person has to put in more efforts, and carry more emotional baggage no matter the future of the relationship, that's the tragedy of human relationships and emotions. Chris's parents in this movie only became better when chris left them, he always put up with his parents shitty behaviour and the emotional it left them with afterwards, and there is no saying how they would have actually treated him when he came back, because he was a changed person too, so if he would have still had to put up with the same bullshit, it would drain him even more to mend it and even if it's successful, maybe he would be too drained or insecure to form good relationships with anyone else, so the purpose of identifying red flags, cutting out the wrong people, is because we have been raised by people too drained to have meaningful relationships with anyone because they are too busy fixing their mistakes, and like any other progressive people, we would like to move on from that, loneliness is a major symptom of this, not because we are unable to form relationships, but only because we have started seeing the shit most people in the world have to offer in the name of relationships

He sought to be free and yet when the end came, he would have been terribly lonely. He clearly battled on with courage but a soul without love can't be at peace, one feels. Sean Penn did a wonderful job of putting together this superb movie of a soul that was just different. The ever-lasting image of him sitting outside the bus, smiling, makes you wonder what all he thought of in the last few months of his courageous journey into the unknown.

[@Timeforrelaxin]

This movie is based on a true story in which Chris writes in his diary in his last days: "Happiness is only real when it is shared." Chris was probably struggling with severe depression and anxiety and, being an avoidant attachment type, he thought he would find peace by isolating himself. In my university life, he seemed like a cool character and made me love camping, but remember, this is not true. We all need to be loved, to have our emotional and material needs met, to be supported and encouraged. Please, don't isolate yourself. Loneliness is only for God, I hope you will not experience forced loneliness in this life…

[@kforest2745]

Yeah this is where Sean Penn messed up bad. In his initial ending, Penn had a scene (without the voiceover) in which Chris runs into his parents arms. He said it was because he believes that the desire of the human spirit to forgive is never stronger than at the end of life. But what wasn’t said by Chris’s sister Carine at the time to Penn (as she didn’t think of it) was that THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT TRUE. And Chris was about truth. Plus it wasn’t about what Penn experienced or merely believed, it’s his job to keep himself out of it. Many people live their entire lives lying to themselves right through to death because they want so much to believe in or hide truth. To believe something doesn’t make it true it imprisons you. And he wanted to find his freedom. Would Chris have suddenly lied to himself at the end? Have romantic notions about his parents? Not likely. At the end he said he had a happy life. But he underlined REAL RELATIONSHIPS. Intentionally NOT underlining FALSE relationships. He would have been thinking of his sister his friends the people he met along the way and IF his parents came to mind he would have said. Because one of the last things he said was that he would PRETEND and go along with their game at his graduation because saying anything wouldn’t have made a difference. He’d been denied by his parents. Flat out denied. Time and again. Even in death where they dumped his ashes in a place he wouldn’t have approved. “It’s not about Chris…” said the mother. This was an extremely self-absorbed materialistic woman it was always about HER feelings never her childrens mental well being the very energy that didn’t live to have a bond with Chris. He was always warning his sister to not be materialistic hell I’ve known people exactly like that it’s their way or the hwy. People can’t see the obvious when all they see is what they want to see or believe, but lying to the self is far worse than anyone ever lying to you. And I can’t see him not knowing that. The voiceover had to go there, it made it clear that he was happy with himself regardless that his parents never were. But the image sure as hell didn’t have to be there. I would only ever encourage relationships where both parties are capable you never want to see one side cheated. You really don’t want to see that.

[@cs292]

A lot of young men Chris’ age fought in the Gulf War..I was one of them, my Dad did not go to Vietnam because he was medically disqualified and would always tell me he felt really guilty about it..Chris may have also felt some of that too..who knows?…but if he had had the experience I had…It would have been all the adventure he would have needed…

Didn't he know about emergency fire signals? Even if he wants nothing to do with maps and picks an area with as little food sources as he did, c'mon.

[@pauldangvu9720]

I actually didn’t like this movie. The whole time I was reading this book in my English class, I was thinking of how dumb this guy is. He had a normal life but threw it away because he wanted to become a hippy. He died freezing alone after eating rotten animal meat, poison berries. He was super unequipped and uneducated on living in the wilderness. I know there are going to be negative comments on but no sane logical person would do what he did.

[@rs7458]

…lol, no you’re right, overall. However, if he did survive then would he be stupid, then? Bc it’s a risk, either way. There are many who do live their lives in their youth- like him- bc there’s more to life than drugs, drinking, sex when it’s all empty. I would even go as far saying Chris was empty, too, but was searching. At least, he lived it out-despite his faults. That being said-it was very stupid of him to go alone with no skills. You can’t go be a hermit. I think he would have done just fine by meeting more people on the road and staying in touch with them. Chris definitely had some issues at home but I don’t blame the man for leaving since he felt he didn’t fit in. Being in your 20s is your second teen phase and- sometimes- it’s worse bc you start to see people for who they really are (at least, I have after highschool). That’s why it’s important for parents to keep a good relationship with kids-even when they rebel- bc of love covers multitudes of sins. I hope that makes some sense.

[@Bafw-tx]

My opinion on this movie varies from epic tale of a man’s journey towards freedom to glorified suicide . Not sure

[@joshqaszq4773]

All of the reading I have done and evidence shows that he was NOT trying to unalive himself. For example, and what the movie doesn't show, is that a wallet with like $300 and his ID were later found in a jacket or bag of his. And the fact he left a sign on the bus asking for help when he was out foraging for food. And the fact he tried to go back and cross the same river and return. Was he naive, ignorant, unprepared, etc.? Almost certainly, but there's no evidence that he was on an unalive mission.

[@chumuheha]

It wasn't suicide, I think it's highly probable that before he left for Alaska he had clinical depression, but by the end he was undeniably trying to get back to society alive.

In every one is a vacuum that cant be filled by things. Every soul yearns to belong to where it truly belongs. He had a genuine quest for the divine, so do we all. But you don’t necessarily have to travel the same journey Christopher had traveled as everyone’s motivation is different As they say what you seek is seeking you His true secret was he had detached himself from love of the material world, where as many are following him, exactly for the opposite reason Seek the Divine and only the Divine. The Divine Creator says in Quran (in my own words) “Verily its in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find peace.” He also says in the Quran “I have not created the humans and demons except to worship (to know) Me” So this is a quest every single person is in, whether you accept it or not.
