Rarely do I get excited about movie trailers, usually I just get irritated that there's something postponing my movie-going experience. But, a couple of months ago i saw a trailer for Sean Penn's new film, 'Into The Wild'. The trailer struck me as amazing and I began to wait until the movie hit theatres. Tomorrow, September 28, is that day.
Into the Wild tells the story of Christopher McCandless, who leaves college and his nice lifestyle to live off the land in Alaska. I'm not sure exactly what it was about the film, but the moment i saw the trailer, the only two thoughts in my head were "I must see that film" and "I want to be that kid" (only later did i learn that Christopher McCandless starved to death upon reaching Alaska). In my mind it seems that nature's beauty is far too often overlooked, and in the worst cases it gets destroyed. In my mind, humanity's treatment of the planet is nothing short of rape.
So... I find it refreshing to see a film coming out that emphasizes the world's natural beauty. I have high hopes for the film, especially with a man such as Sean Penn at its helm, and I can't wait to see what the film's cinematographer comes up with to flaunt the beautiful setting.

Fine Eric. I'll think of a harder one next time. Just for you.
And I just read about 'Into The Wild' and it looks quite good. Plus Emile Hirsch is such a cutie, which is a bonus.
Your nature comment is spoken like a true pantheist. It's depressing really.
Hmm, never heard of the movie. Now after reading your review about it being about nature(kind of), it strikes me as interesting to see.
It's going to be interesting to see whether or not this movie goes along with the book. If it does I believe it will be a good one because the book told a very intriguing story about Christopher McCandless' adventure. I am happy that they made it into a movie and am looking forward to seeing it.
