Into the Wild

In his latest film as a writer and director Sean Penn delivers his most accomplished and accessible film yet. This American tale of rebellion will resonate with many, specially now where everything seems to have gone wrong in the world. The story of Christopher McCandless who rejected everything to find a meaning and truth in his life. He finds it far from home and along the way into the wilderness of Alaska that real happiness is to share it with someone. His life is cut short before he could return to the civilization. Better to have a short life of happiness than a long life of misery. The film is solid in every aspect including Emile Hirsh in the title role and the cinematography of Eric Gautier under the sure hands of Sean Penn and music of Eddie Vedder. Along with There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Redacted, In the Valley of Elah, Sicko, An Inconvenient Truth and Lions for Lambs to mention few, the American Cinema is well and alive and its filmmakers kicking and screaming. It shows that there's a growing sense of concern about the world, specially the American society. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
