Before I tell you about the movie: When I say "On" for 14 I mean mature 14 year olds. Not the ones that goof off in class, giggle each time someone curses, and can't handle a serious and deep concept and story. Great movie. One the the best and most inspirational movies I have ever seen. Chris's story is amazing and very unique. The people he meets and the places he visits are very interesting and really make you see the beauty in our world. The music by Eddie Vedder fits the movie perfectly. I loved watching Chris as he transformed and saw all these things that impacted him like the God mural out in the desert. It is a joy to try to figure out how his mind works and what you would do if you were in his situation. It makes you wonder "Could I ever do that?", "Would I ever do that." This movie just makes you want to follow our beloved Supertramp "into the wild."

Wow. Wow. Wow. These are the only words that my lips could produce after seeing this beautifully tragic and altogether moving film. (I'm terrible with names and haven't seen this for a while, so I'll try my best) It tells the story of Chris (?), a 20-something college graduate who is destined for Harvard (or was it Stanford?). He has outstanding grades, seemingly endless money, and stuffy parents; the perfect Harvard (Stanford) formula. When his parents give him a arge sum of money as a graduation present, he is apalled. He sees it perfectly fine to drive an old car and is happy with the diploma he has, to his parents' strong disapproval. As his Harvard (Stanford) days near, Chris (?) decides to burn his money, destroy his credit cards, take off his license plates, and change his name (though not legally). He starts out for the Alaskan wilderness, and meets many friends along the way. These include a flamboyant hippie couple, a dutch couple who long to see Mexico and a farmer (Vince Vaughn) who is in trouble with the law. As many know, Chris's journey ends tragically, with him dying of starvation, but that doesn't make the film feel depressing or gloomy. My only complaint is this: Chris (?) never forgave his parents,and acts in an EXTREMELY immature matter toward them, though he advises others to forgive and forget, making him something of a hypocrite. As far as content, there's really nothing TOO suggestive here: there's some non-sexual nudity (full frontal, though) and brief strong language. So, 12 year-olds, probably not (I was fine) but anyone older should be fine and to those of you older, SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For starters this is a great movie probably the best of 2007. It wont be very appealing to younger teens because the movie seems very slow at points but in the end it makes it that much better. This is also one of the few movies that lives up to the book.

i abosutley loooooooooovvvvvveeeeedddddd this movie it was sad tho icried through like half the movie but overall it was a great movie
