Why didn't he fuck Kstews character? Was he gay?

I think the implication is that he was gay

I dont know if they are saying that something to do with why he ran away or not though, or if its just an incidental thing they added

No he wasn't gay, it was because they were creating a connection and making sex with her and then disappearing to his impermanent life would not be nice.

This man basically committed suicide. There's nothing remotely heroic or noble about what he did and he deserves none of the attention he got from his book or movie.

His is a cautionary tale to people that think they want to "leave" society but don't have any actual ability to do so.

I can not get over how a lot of people kept talking about this guy like he was some kind of mysterious wise man or some shit when the retard didn't even think to bring a compass and proper map to a location he had never been before.

The fact that he died within a few miles of a tram that could've led him across that river and was a known landmark to everyone native to the area is indicative of his stupidity.

I genuinely lost respect for people I heard talking about this man in any way other than remarking how stupid he was.
>>
>>71830188
In the Book, he is never interested in the girl and she follows him around and is annoying. No other interaction happens between them if I remember correctly.

Hollywood hates movies without romance though so they wrote a fictitious scene to have a "love interest." (Probably sells more tickets to have a love interest subplot.)

In general though, the movie would have been bumped up a rating if he had fucked her, and that can be very bad for sales too.
>>
>>71831964
He got some weird nutrient starving leeching disease from eating poisonous seeds...cbf'd looking it up
>>
>>71832131

That's only a theory the author of the book hypothisied.

In reality:
>However, an article in the September 2007 issue of Men's Journal, by Matthew Powers, states that extensive laboratory testing showed there were no toxins or alkaloids present in the H. alpinum seeds McCandless had been eating. Dr. Thomas Clausen, the chair of the chemistry and biochemistry department at UAF said, "I tore that plant apart. There were no toxins. No alkaloids. I'd eat it myself".[20] Analysis of the wild sweet peas, given as the cause of McCandless' death in Into the Wild, found no toxic compounds, and there is not a single account in modern medical literature of anyone's being poisoned by this species of plant.[2] As Powers put it: "He didn't find a way out of the bush, couldn't catch enough food to survive, and simply starved to death".[20]
>>
>>71832168

well, update:
>In September 2013, Krakauer published an article in The New Yorker following up the claims of Ronald Hamilton.[5] A sample of Hedysarum alpinum's fresh seeds were sent to a laboratory for HPLC analysis. Results suggest that the seeds contained 0.394% beta-ODAP by weight, a concentration well within the levels known to cause lathyrism in humans, although the interpretation of the results was disputed by other chemists.[4] The article notes that while occasional ingestion of foodstuffs containing ODAP is not hazardous for healthy individuals eating a balanced diet, "individuals suffering from malnutrition, stress, and acute hunger are especially sensitive to ODAP, and are thus highly susceptible to the incapacitating effects of lathyrism after ingesting the neurotoxin".[5]

So he was poisoned, but he would have been okay if he knew how to live in the wild.

Why is /tv/ so autistic about this movie? Is it because it portrays a successful autist on an adventure of his life, something /tv/ will never be?

But didn't he go to alaska?
>>
>>71832416
>What did he accomplish?
escape from civilization, independence.
it killed him but he still achieved what he wanted, he was sick of society and wanted to live by himself. For however long, he achieved it, and then he died. It was better for him than betraying his own morals and conforming.
>>71832418
No he couldn't, he would still be in civilization. Driving into fucking nothing with zero plans is precisely what he wanted.
Also, pretty sure he died in Alaska
>>71832432
>i don't see why you want to escape civilization
his own reasons are outlined in the movie; disgust with society's various attributes, disgust at his parents, a desire to be independent
>>
>>71832353
An "adventure" that consisted of him writing in a book about stupid shit while starving to death in the remote wilderness. Calling it an "adventure" is not accurate. He did nothing "adventurous" aside from wander into a place where he didn't know what he was doing and died because of it. It would've taken him less than a year to learn the skills he needed to survive.

It takes 5 minutes to familiarize yourself with the idea of a map, and 5 more to learn how to use a compass.

>>71832549
Appealing to cold logic will make a lot of people seem very stupid. There was no rational, technical thought process behind his actions. It was emotional, he had a desire to escape. I'm sorry if your emotionally-numb autistic brain can't realize that.

>It takes 5 minutes to familiarize yourself with the idea of a map, and 5 more to learn how to use a compass.
He didn't want an easy escape route. If he really wanted a map he would have got it.

I personally don't think he's a hero, and people who are sucking his rotting dick because of some Sean Penn flick are dumbshits. But it's still admirable that he did what he wanted to do, regardless of the results. Most people do not fully commit to doing what they want to do.

Fuck this spineless guy.
This and the book are literally my ex's favourite book&movie, and that's one of the reasons I left her.

This is the story of a guy who goes crazy (literally: crazy, you can't deny that). Because even if you want to live in solitude there are many MANY different ways to do it.

He just had an existential crisis, and istead of facing it, like every fucking one of ourselves did, he run away. And everyone is acting like "woah dude deep". No, fuck you, that's what happens with 70% of adolescents.

It's a story about a guy who instead of facing his problems, he run away and died like a fucking idiot.

>Muh veganism
fuck that. I can understan not wanting to hurt animals, but many vegeterians will agree that they are ok with "being a hunter for survival"

>Muh deep
no, no no. literally any philosophy book ever will adress his "moral questions about society" better than this "awww fuck dad *cry*cry*". Furthermore, if you only have seen the movie, IF YOU FUCKING THINK THE MOVIE IS ABOUT HIS PHILOSOPHY, you are wrong.

you are wrong, because in the end of the movie, he wished he had been with his sister (or lover).


I think it's the babby first emotional breakdown, and it's basically babby's fight club, in the sense that both can make an adolescent "think", but even if fight club is sometimes cringe-tier (but mostly because people don't understand it) it manages to do in a miles better way.

tl;dr: if you like this guy you're either underage or girl or faggot
>>
>>71831964
Haven't read the book, but the movie is for sure a cautionary tale. This kind of characters, though, with their huge hunger for life and their thirst of independence, will alway appeal to gullible unsatisfied people.
There are numerous clues in the movie, that point to how excessive and childish the guy's behaviour is, but they're hidden behind alI this illusionary half-baked wisdom. All in all, I found this was a deliberately misleading movie, which is quite amusing !
>>
>>71833054
>pretends

Anon, I may sound edgy but these are my honest opinions
>>
>>71833064
>istead of facing it, like every fucking one of ourselves did, he run away

Every fucking of ourselves chooses to conform, which is easier than what he did. You can hate his ways, but it takes much more balls than becoming one of the billions of drones
>>
>>71832791

>16 is legal in majority of the world and even in many states
>anon gets assblasted and condescending because he's a faggot

You should just be yourself, anon. It's not wrong to be a faggot anymore, if you ask most people.
>>
>>71833201
You aren't from the US. Fucking an underage girl is taboo
>>
>>71833136
no.

it's not about conforming, is about having an objective point of view instead of running away.
because if you take time to think about it, in a mature way (not like our protagonist did),you easily realize that:
1) not everybody is a piece of shit (wooow, your daddy is a fucker? well it means you hate everybody)
solution: Actually have DIFFERENT opinion over DIFFERENT people! hard right?

2) you don't really hate every single human product:
first because unless you were a lying piece of shit, until your "breakdown" you enjoyed everything you purchased/used
even then, after your departure:
-you wear clothes done by someone else with tools done by someone else,
-you have a rifle
-you live in a old human product
-you read a book written by someonelse, with someone else tools, etc.etc.
not only that, you could argue that he was alive because of these tools, that he could get to alaska because of other people and their tools, etc.etc.
solution: actually THINK about what you do like, and if you have to buy it, buy it! woah you don't want a new car, fucking shocking am I right? No you are not. if you are not a teenager you'll realize that you could spend the same money in your hobby. who knows, maybe musical instruments and a course about it? or maybe, MAYBE, you just don't care about having fancy cars, FUCKING SHOKING, NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER EXPERIENCED THIS FEELING, WOAH
>>
>>71833486
3) I don't want to become a white collar:
ok, let's assume he was a fucking retarded, and he didn't realize that until he graduated. it happens, you are stupid. let's ignore that.
solution: DON'T BE
WOAH.
WOAH.
turns out there are many different jobs, including working as a farmer in lands.

4) baww I cry 'cuz no reason to live:
let's cut this shit that I'm getting tired. You can:
-find a reason to live by yourself
-find a reason to live in your hobbies
-find a reason to live in helping others
-find a reason to live in religion
-find a reason to live in egoism
-find a reason to live in hedonism
WOAH

I could go on and on, point is, the choice is not "conform or run away", you can actually chose what to do with your life. For example I don't have a facebook account because I don't feel the need for it, and I think it's shit. I don't do that famous national sport because I don't care about it. I don't watch capeshit because I find them boring. and so on, and so on.
fucking crazy right?

fuck you
>>
>it's another I didn't watch the ending where he realizes he fucked up thread

The movie is about a guy who is an asshole, but only figures that out on his death bed. For most of the movie he pushes away cool, friendly people for no reason. That is the point of the movie. I think viewers get confused because the character is played in a convincing and confident way.

That's the reason he writes this

>>
>>71833510
>>71833486
I'm not even defending him desu. Just let the guy do what he wants. He did what he wanted, took the risk, it didn't turn out well for him.
He would've probably ease out on it in time if he survived. After all, as someone has pointed out already, at the end he realized he fucked up.
But he just managed to break free of his family and at the time felt the need to go full retard.

You're autistic because everyone in this thread can see how irrational his decisions were, but because we understand it was a personal journey and we're not invested in the same way, we can look at it as spectators without condoning or judging.

Seeing as it's been established that this is a cautionary tale, it's only logical to critic what he literally did.

It's a cautionary tale against young people cutting off all ties to adults, family, and wise people who might provide council.

That's it mate. If you a young person and you're having difficulty, you might at one point in your life have the instinct to distance yourself from other people and withdraw into yourself, especially young males have this instinct. The movie is telling you not to do this, because it might lead to trouble.
This is just a stupid kid that died a stupid preventable death, and a single responsible adult could've prevented it from happening.

Why is it so difficult for people here to believe that some actually liked Into the Wild without idolizing the main character?

First time I watched this I thought they tried to make it pretty obvious how he regretted the whole thing as he laid there dying, I never saw him as some sort of guru, just some kid trying to run away, That doesn't mean that there weren't any moments or scenes in the movie that made you ponder about some things. You said it yourself, just as some idiots think that Fight Club's message is "anarchy is teh best, fuck the big guy and its rules" there are some that think that Into the Wild is promoting a "i'm way too unique and special for society" type of mindset while that is not really the case. That's not the movie's fault, that's all on stupid people.
>>
Personally, I live a very solitary life and I could see myself living off the land until I die. I'm not unhappy, I just don't place a value on my life. I'd rather experience where life takes me and then expire.

because many people have done that. like 90% of the people that liked the movie.
That said, I agree with you.

But, the point is that, people idolize him because they also read the book, which has a different ending. So they consider the movie's character worth idolizing, ignoring the end.

>He just had an existential crisis, and istead of facing it, like every fucking one of ourselves did, he run away.
No, not everyone "faces" their existential crisis. In fact, most people never do. What was yours? Why are you here, on /tv/, dispensing some life wisdom like you're any better than anyone?

well, at least he doesn't sound like someone whose 20s are over, still didn't get an "existential crisis" (aka lives with his parents) and convinced himself that obviously what he is like, must be the norm ("most people", "better than anyone")

>escape from civilization, independence.
>it killed him but he still achieved what he wanted, he was sick of society and wanted to live by himself. For however long, he achieved it, and then he died. It was better for him than betraying his own morals and conforming.
But he tried to go back but gave up because of the river and had SOS shit in his bus. In the end, he was clamoring for civilization. he died realizing how retarded he was. Couldn't even last a year.

Nice projection. Not everyone life is a drama film. Not everyone faces "existential crisis" and the term is generally reserved for people in their mid 40s waking up one day and wondering what they did with their life. We're not talking about your adolescent growing pains, retard.

>His name, he revealed, was Christopher Thomas Knight. Born on December 7, 1965. He said he had no address, no vehicle, did not file a tax return, and did not receive mail. He said he lived in the woods.

>"For how long?" wondered Perkins-Vance.

>Knight thought for a bit, then asked when the Chernobyl nuclear-plant disaster occurred. He had long ago lost the habit of marking time in months or years; this was just a news event he happened to remember. The nuclear meltdown took place in 1986, the same year, Knight said, he went to live in the woods. He was 20 years old at the time, not long out of high school. He was now 47, a middle-aged man.

>Knight stated that over all those years he slept only in a tent. He never lit a fire, for fear that smoke would give his camp away. He moved strictly at night. He said he didn’t know if his parents were alive or dead. He’d not made one phone call or driven in a car or spent any money. He had never in his life sent an e-mail or even seen the Internet.

You make it sound like he was some sage survival guru living at one with nature when he's just a mentally ill thief.

Into the wild sucked due to poor editing

I understand the idea of getting away from it all, to escape to parts unknown and just live life but he went about it all wrong and ended up dying because of his stupidity.

He could have easily gotten away from it all and still lived if he'd even put in one ounce of planning and foresight into his ideal. Instead he goes into half cocked and dies in a terrible way and people treat him as some wonderful insightful man when he's not.

James Adams, Miles Goodyear, Hugh Glass. Those where men to emulate because they fucking went into the wild prepared for it and they lived.

>Chris became surprisingly introspective. "I did examine myself," he said. "Solitude did increase my perception. But here’s the tricky thing—when I applied my increased perception to myself, I lost my identity. With no audience, no one to perform for, I was just there. There was no need to define myself; I became irrelevant. The moon was the minute hand, the seasons the hour hand. I didn’t even have a name. I never felt lonely. To put it romantically: I was completely free."

His sister said he did the fuc one night when he was in high school though.

As free as a feral animal can be. While that might be poetic, I can't see how anyone would wish for that. We're not meant to live alone, die alone, with no one else to share our thoughts with.

This is such an overdone circlejerk.

I've seen in this thread comments that include the words "drone" or "conform".

What do you mean by this? (I'm not memeing, I'm serious)

This. We're social animals. You may hate it, but we live a better life when we trade experiences with others.

Woah dude you're so introspective and existential, you shouldn't be wasting your time on /tv/ with the children, you should be with the other geniuses on reddit

Wasn't that kinda the point? There no longer are places beyond mankind's jurisdiction and knowledge so he had to pretend to have that experience.
