Eddie Vedder is a genius
God I love that episode
even if you don't like the moral behind it, can we not all agree this movie is actually kino?
This kino triggers the average Sup Forums shut-in
Let's pretend his passion was Nascar driving...
Christopher McCandless sets off, from California in an old car he rebuilt himself (he replaced the fenders and painted it), on a trip to the Daytona 500. He only gets across the state line when he runs out of fuel because he forgot to fill it up. Instead of simply walking to the nearest gas station or flagging down help he decides to push his car over an embankment and set it on fire. He then proceeds to walk on foot to the nearest car lot (which happens to be in Mexico for some reason, mostly because he burned up his map in the car and he's been taking backroads.) He finds an old bicycle in a garbage dump and uses that.
He finally gets to the car lot and buys a fixer-upper for $50. Before leaving the car lot he has to change a tire, which he replaces with the solid rubber donut. He buys fuel and heads off to the Daytona 500 again. Only he's heading deeper into Mexico and eventually ends up broken down in front of, "Autodromo Internacional de la Jolla" due to no water in the radiator. The engine block has seized up. Luckily, there's a race about to start. Christopher...er "Alexander Superspeeder", who changed his name, pays the $125 entry fee for the race.
Unfortunately, Alexander Superspeeder doesn't have a race car. He does however have an old bicycle still. He uses the bicycle to race. He makes it only 3 laps before he is too tired to steer straight and veers off into a race car and is killed.
Some Jew picks up his story and writes a book about his life and how he followed his dreams. Another Jew makes a movie about it. Armchair racers around the world adore him.
The End.

>eats random berries
>dies
That's only in the movie and they changed things to make it like that. IRL he simply starved too death over a long amount of time.
Did Gaylord Stucky fiend for dat boi pussy? Or was Stucky a fictional stand in for Krakauer himself?
I don't find fault with his motivations so much the fact that he was a dumb fuck who ate poisoned berries and then froze to death because he was paralyzed from eating said berries.
>No map
Moldy potato seeds, fàm.
see
Movie lies about many things. It tries to make him seem better than he was.
IRL he kept the map.
ITT: boring wageslaves whose life will consist of commuting to and back from work until they can retire and die within 3 years without ever doing anything spontaneous talking shit about a man who took rist to live like he wanted if only for a while
every thread about this you get the people that go "what a retard, didnt even know anything about survival" i feel like you've missed the point entirely
The point was that he was a retard. There was a bridge like 5 feet away.
Sure thing, kid.
Yep, kid.
lmao some people are just so fucking bored with their perfect life they need to do stupid shit like this.
they should try spending 10 years without a hug from a girl and then see if they still want to "explore the wild"
I did and I do.
Plus, he was on a trail. He died in that bus, which was on a trail. The trail would have led him to help if he tried traveling on it, yet instead he sat there.
There was a cabin nearby, stocked with emergency rations, which he could have found had he traveled the trail.
His body was found, because some other people went on that trail.

I hope you'll kill yourself.
This movie was good. No wonder NEETs are angry at it.
Aside from romanticising him because sean penn is a 2deep4u pleb, it was fine.
Forget the berries, not fucking kstew was his real blunder.
