Whoah... society is shit

whoah... society is shit

It really is with people like you living in it

Fpbp

What a dumbass why'd he eat the berries?

t. poisonous berries

This movie was unbearable to watch.
The guy was a complete idiot from beginning to end.
And people > waaaah so cool he followed his dreams

You sound like my girlfriend.

I liked it.

I mean the movie, not society. Every moment of my existence is pain.

I wish there were photos of his corpse.

From my experience only spoiled people like this garbage

I'm sympathetic to McCandless' views even though he was an idiot who died like a fag, but your girlfriend sounds cool. Is she satisfied with your sex life?

Sean Penn directed it, should tell you as much. Champagne socialists are shit heads.

She regularly says "you're too good at this" so I would assume she is. He did die a shitty death but he followed his dreams until then, she doesn't get why that's in any way a good thing.

>Abandon society then slowly and tortuously die because society isn't around to help you

>play in a band
>girl singer, she's a hippie but at least she has a job
>gets on couch surfing, some spanish dude staying at her place
>meet him, he's like 5'7" and weighs 100 pounds, ugly as sin, one dreadlock hanging from his thin disgusting hair
>actually has a walking stick lmao
>listening to Eddie Vedder's soundtrack
>tells me this is his favorite movie, he has seen it like 10 times
This movie ruins lives

I am afraid you missed the whole fucking point of the movie.

>woah... a troubled but intelligent and friendly young man realizes as he dies of starvation that solitude in an unforgiving wilderness is not everything literary tourists like London, Tolstoy, and Thoreau made it out to be
Activatin muh almonds brooooo

I wonder how many people London and Thoreau have inadvertently killed

I honestly would rather watch a movie about the other people Krakauer writes about. Especially that guy (whose name I cant remember) that lived in alaska for however long experimenting with different eras of technology/tools trying to work his way back to living totally off the land before killing himself by falling on a knife when he concluded it wasn't possible.

It is possible, but of course you get the life expectancy that goes with it.

I've heard that life expectancy in primitive societies is mainly lowered by infant mortality rates, which I don't really have a problem with. To go full edgezsche: "all that is weak shall perish, and should even be helped to do so."

Honestly, low infant mortality rates are probably the main reason numales exist.

Why? Is a difficult infancy really that big of a factor in determining who's a nu-male?

More about the weak surviving en masse. Not to say that society and medicine/technology has given us a few gifts of sickly geniuses, but when just about any child can survive a previously deadly disease or disorder you breed pockets of weakness and dysfunction.

hasn't given us*

Yes?

Where's the NASCAR copypasta about this?

DUDE LETS GO DIE IN THE WOODS LMAO

I remember having to read this for summer reading back in high school and never finishing it because it was so awful and boring. The whole thing felt like it was a complete waste of time and the guy was a fucking retard.

Honestly, probably not that many. There are plenty of people who read them and take their sentiments to heart and even incorporate them into their lives but it's rare that people drop everything and wind up killing themselves over something they read.

You don't have to abandon your old life entirely to live in the wilderness full time to die in the wilderness.
Many people who die or permanently disappear in the wilderness went there for a brief stay.

nu male decides to be a man and fuck off to the woods.
Gets literally BTFO by bugs and berries

>be american
>eat plant
>die

It was the rabbit meat with high protein poisoning that killed him

I love this movie, everyone sucks in it and in the end the main retard dies because he doesn't know shit and tried to be a cool guy living some hippie-american-pioneer/cowboy-live which in reality totally sucks because billions of men have died living like that and failing so you wouldn't have to make the same mistakes and learn from them. In the end we learn not to be a adolescent faggot.

While everything should come in moderation this movie has a sense of adventure to it. The fact that you can just ''leave'' and go explore/live in other parts of the world for very limited funds. It definitely was part of my inspiration for going on a personal adventure.

The whole Jesus complex of the movie is bullshit. He was an idiot and his death was pointless, what mattered in the end was his social ties with the people he met on his journey. That is the truth to take away from the movies. The places you visit are nothing compared to the people you meet.

It's a great movie, it teaches us society is bad but we have to compromise and take part in it, otherwise get die of food poisoning

Both the movie and the book make the dude look like a dickhead by leaving out the very important detail that he was hiking to escape his viciously abusive father, not out of some misguided hippie ethic

It was both. Instead of just going DUDE WEED DAD IS SUCH A HARDASS since his dad was of that hippy generation and he went a bit further than "hardass" he probably was rebelling against that too.
