DVD: Into the Wild

I had so looked forward to this movie, and was so disappointed. The scenery was amazing, the filmography good, Vince Vaughn and the hippie lady were happy surprises, and the lead actor wasn't half bad either. Decent soundtrack, for what that's worth, etc. But oh LORD did the movie take itself seriously! When I read this in high school I thought it was a totally inspiring story, etc. etc. The guy was my hero. And then, I don't know whether I got older and slightly wiser (or at least less naive) since then, or whether seeing this movie put things into pictures, but... it was just a ridiculous and kinda delusional guy. I guess at one point I'll have to read the book again to see where I stand with it. But the movie was so bad I never even made it to the end before sending it back to Netflix...
