Into the Wild

Saw Into the Wild. A good movie. It indulges in some slightly high-school-ish philosophical excesses (for example, the more precisely/inscrutably something is said, the more true it becomes) but these are forgivable foibles, given when it was made. It anyway undercuts all of its philosophizing with ultimate doses of harsh reality. It is a hard thing the main character is attempting. He appeared slightly mad to me (and characters in the film) for even attempting it. I think he's correct when he says happiness is not derived solely from human interaction, but just as money (which he also eschews) cannot either buy happiness, both surely help.
