Why do dumb slutty roasties love this movie so much? I don't see the appeal

Why do dumb slutty roasties love this movie so much? I don't see the appeal.

It makes them feel like rebellious hippies

The dumb white male dies.

That makes sense, all roasties are all SJW white male hating feminazis.

Chris Mccandless was just a reckless loser that read too much Thoreau.

Textbook definition of a trust fund boy

I've noticed this movie is also really popular in Europe and I see murals and shit of it and it's shitty pretentious quotations all over. Why, is it because the book is very easy to read for someone with low level English skills?

this but unironically

Because the guy in the movie set off with no plan, no provisions, no skill, no knowledge.. just like a woman

He even needed rescuing in the end. If he were a woman maybe some thirsty pathetic whiteknight would've saved him

Ohh i just cant wait to travel the world :) ill live out of a bus then in apartments in NYC and paris
I just have a bad case of wanderlust

>man fuck society i'm just gonna go live in the wild with no experience whatsoever!
>dies from eating something he shouldn't have

I don't get the moral of the story.

>dude I'm going to live off the land lmao
>lives in a bus

>morons too stupid to understand the book
>continuously fellate themselves about how dumb he was and how they would be much smarter

I know you're all twelve and so you can't have any meaningful interaction with anything other than superhero movies but get over yourselves.

The one thing that pisses me off about these types of "travelers" is that they never want to go anywhere other than somewhere they can drink or post photos of themselves sitting by the pool. Why the fuck would you waste thousands doing that?

He was a retard like people who hail him as his own personal hero since they clearly didn't get the message he was spouting.

>Why, is it because the book is very easy to read for someone with low level English skills?

Pretty much.

>Yuro subhumans

Wasn't he a vegan or something?

It's funny because some redneck living off of the land is much more closer to nature than all the numales that worship this trite shit.

Oh God is that why there are so many fucking Vegans lately who "LOVE TRAVELING" popping up all over the place?

He was a retard who had no respect for the ferocity of nature. He deserved to die in that bus, literal natural selection at work. Only a fool jumps that deep into the wilderness with no knowledge or understanding of it. He died less than a mile away from a tram line that could've taken him across the river back to civilization, that's how stupid he was.

No, he brought a rifle and ammunition for game hunting, but he didn't know how to hunt, had no other hunting equipment, only brought small caliber munitions meaning he couldn't bring down adequate sized game to feed himself since his caloric take would be meteoric in a Canadian winter, and had no background in hunting, trapping, or fishing.

Didn't that guy eat poison berries or something?

because even snails love travelling and those people are drivelling normies
>me like fun, travel, music, movies

This guy was such a dumb faggot. He starved to death like 2 miles from a busy road.

I think they added that for the movie to make him seem less retarded. In real life he didn't bring enough food to last the winter and didn't realize that help was only a few miles away. Like he didn't look glance at a map before going out into the woods in order to see if anything was around.

It fulfills their dumb WANDERLUST fantasies. Ooooh heee is sooo coool just like travelling without a plan and just makes instant friends and uuuhmmmm is hooot.

While roasties themselves are only capable of making the australia-indochina-trip and doing drugs at fullmoon parties. All these "awakened" wanderlust bitches are a thing in europe. No stable jobs, no further education, just the next six months bartending in australia getting bitchbux to party in thailand.

Agreed. I went to Emory and everyone talks about this moron like he's our most prestigious alumni, when in reality he was just a dumb hippy who got himself killed by being unprepared.

Emory was pretty gay in general, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

No he died because he didn't get enough fat in his diet. Everything he managed to kill was too lean to keep a human alive long term

I thought the main character was a complete faggot and couldn't sympathise with him at all.

>rejecting cunny stew
He deserved to die.

Nope, he actually induced "rabbit starvation" in himself, which is where you can't obtain game meat hardy enough to sustain yourself in such a hazardous environment. The leanness of the game he was able to capture meant that the act of actually capturing and preparing it exhausted him more than he would be replenished by eating it. He could've slaughtered a hundred rabbits a day and it probably wouldn't have stopped him from starving. He also brought no map, didn't know how to read a map, had no compass, had no knowledge of the area he was in, the bus he lived in had no insulation so he was always exposed to extreme cold which caused him to starve even faster, and if I recall correctly he didn't even bring a properly rated sleeping bag for the level of cold he'd be enduring, and brought no real food reserves.

He shot a moose and ruined it because he didn't know how to cook.

At least the book tries to inject some ambiguity into the character, pointing out all his douche-y aspects. The movie is just a blind glorification of his legacy.

I'm smarter specifically because I know better than to subject myself to a harsh northern winter without preparing for it. I'm smarter because I'm still alive and he's fucking dead.

Much better slow suicide kino.

If I were going to try living in the wild I might learn how to smoke meat.

"I love to travel" is low-key saying you're rich or only fuck rich guys

and don't forget

>GONNA BURN ALL MY MONEY FUCK CAPITALISM I AM FREE MAN
>oh shit, I need to flip burgers since I need money for survival equipment and supplies, at least this dude gave me a bunch of his stuff

that guy was a retard

Ironically he worked in a McDonalds during his cross-country trek. You'd think he'd bring some of that experience with him.

He seems like he was a lonely man, maybe he fell for the depression meme it certainly seemed as though he didn't care for his own life. But if he wants go poison himself and die in a bus that's fine by me.

Wasn't it because he didn't know how to properly preserve raw meat?

He was a self-righteous spoiled rich kid who got mad at his parents for divorcing and ran away to become a caveman. As far as I know there was no death wish, just fatal hubris.

In some way this movie is kind like Scarface, ruined by their respective fanbases that missed the fucking point, doesn't mean that the movies themselves are that bad.

Y'all should see the docu about the guy that gets eaten by bears. Funniest movie ever made

Me and my gf watched in last year and I was laughing the whole time while she was pouting that I was being insensitive. Eventually she wised up when the his videos were making him more and more into a massive faggot and she couldn't stop laughing

>I love traveling
>They only go to party cities or towns and act like complete retards while drunk

I'm not surprised the entire world hates us

No, you're not smarter, you just prefer a safer environment.

>dumb slutty roasties
how to spot a virgin

It's a fantasy they love while they get to romanticize the idiot without actually doing it themselves.

Like watching rape porn

Yes, yes I am much smarter. I've been camping before, I know to bring a fucking map. A 10 year old Cub Scout is smarter than McCandless. If he had a map, he would've survived.

He was too much of an egomaniac for maps

If Mccandless had this quality of bait, maybe he could have actually caught something instead of eating poison like the retarded manbaby he was.

Brainlet tier:

Adoring Into the Wild uncritically

Bashing Into the Wild by pretending it's a life manual

Ok tier:
Appreciating Into the Wild for its qualities and criticizing it for its flaws, realizing that the protag is neither a role model nor the Anti-Christ

Master patrician tier:
Discussing better films like Wild and Grizzly Man instead

They like the romanticised fantasy of dropping out of society and living off the land but never actually do it becasue they wouldnt last a day

...

This

Safer than moderately dense forest brimming with wildlife, a river, and a ready-made shelter in the form of a bus?

He went to a hiking trail in Alaska, not the fucking Amazon.

I'm white as fuck and I love it just for what it made me feel when I was younger. That being said, I don't idolize what Mccandless did. It was brash as hell.

I bet you brought bedbugs with you

this but only ironically

>muh moral

Its just a story based on a real life event, theres no overt moral message. The people who love the movie because they want to be like the main character are bad, but the people who hate on it just because of the first group of people are even worse.

>Emory
>alumni for singular person

He is your best alum.

No moral. It's a story about the end of a young man's life. It's interesting. Yeah he fucked up, but he did what he wanted.

>Like he didn't look glance at a map
This is what makes him the ultimate retard. He didn't have a map. That is rule number zero for anyone venturing into the wilderness and incontrovertible proof that he was an utter retard.

He's from a middle class family in DC suburbs

This, but with proper punctuation and capitalization.

>Yeah he fucked up, but he did what he wanted.

His goal was to be a survivalist, he didn't accomplish that.

The same reason roasties love taking pictures of themselves with a horde of niglets in some African waterhole dump.

They're retarded "no borders lmao" marxist females.

>Middle class from a city with high cost of living

Trust fund baby.

The autopsy report didn't find any poisonous plant in his body. It's a myth.

Lmao if you did a 540 you would be faced in the same direction as where you wanna go

>Doesn't fugg prime KStew

Was he gay?

Says the american mongrel.

says the smelly inbred euro trash

Why so you feel so personally offended? The movie doesn't even try to pretend it was a good idea, it's a portrayal. Autismo.

so... if this guy was "alone" in the wilderness
then who took photo????

>brought a 22lr rifle with him to the Alaskan wilderness to hunt with
>that's it

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.

I just stated a fact. He didn't accomplish his intended goal.

Don't project your own offense.

The movie/book is a good litmus test to see who has empathy.

Like others in the thread have said, the movie isn't about inspiring a moral message or anything like that. Not everything is black and white. You can like Chris and still think he's an idiot and was unprepared. But most people have this thing called empathy that makes them have some feeling when another human being dies.

Definitely sounds like a woman or a nu-male

>yours parents give you money, things, whatever you ask for
>you burn it, their money and their things, like an edgy 13 year old
No empathy required. He's a little faggot.

Empathy is given to those who are victims of tragedy, not people with self inflicted wounds.

I pity the boy.

>p-please no bully
He's not wrong - the guy wanted to live off the land, and he failed.

>he brought a rifle and ammunition for game hunting
Didn't he bring a .22? I'm not sure squirrels count as game.
Not sure I believe the moose thing either - taking down a moose with a .22 would involve a lot of ammo followed by a long wait for lead poisoning to kick in.

the hero of disgusting and degenerate trust fund crusties everywhere

Yes, he did. That's all he had in Alaska, a 22.

I grew up in rural Canada, where that is literally a child's first rifle. What the fuck - I guess he was too busy thinking deep shit to bother actually talking to a single hunter.

Knowing shot placement, or stalking game, or what caliber is necessary and ethical to take said game out with is just part of society man, fuck it!

I watched this film once years ago, I thought it was ok but the protag was a complete retard. Moved on.
Fast forward to recently, dumb roasties worship this film and think he is some kind of role model.

Kek

Yes, he carried a .22. According to his diary, he -somehow- killed a moose with it, but despite the enormous challenge of dropping a 500 pound moose with a .22, he didn't know how to prepare the meat, so he let it spoil. A moose could probably have fed him for a long time out there, that's good meat and a lot of it for one guy, but far as we know he didn't get 1 meal out of it.

I'd pay him 20 dollars to let me fuck his gf in the mouth

That moose must have suffered a lot before it finally died, either he pumped it full of holes or it eventually died of lead poisoning in agony before it finally died. To top it off after all that he didn't even eat it? What a prick.
This is why trust fund rich kids who have no idea about mother nature should stay out of remote areas and try and 'live off the land' like dumb hippies.

He could've probably ate it raw, or at least a little bit. But he probably didn't even consider that he'd die until it was about to happen, apparently he stopped writing in his diary and laid down in his sleeping bag, but lived another 5 or so days before succumbing, despite writing that he was too weak to walk out. Which he could've done had he just left when he first realized he couldn't eat enough to sustain.

He didn't even see anyone doing it before, all he had was notes from Zach Galif()'s character, who actually know his shit. A fucking notes. I watched how to skin and gut a fucking rabbit 3 times before trying it myself and this retard thought that all he needed is notepad.

This, the irony is these people call the people who live in remote areas who hunt 'rednecks' but they're the ones that respect nature and can kill a moose in a quick and humane way. They wouldn't be dumb enough to try and live out in the wild without preparing either.

He could have ate the moose raw, it's unclean and not exactly recommended but it would have kept him alive and given him enough energy to get out of there alive. I'm not overly familiar with the story though, did the moose spoil a long time before he realized he was starving?

I figured a moose, or t least a healthy one, would either gore him, stomp him to death, or run away once he shot, so maybe it was injured and he just happened upon it. I can't see a moose standing still or even remaining within miles of you after you started blasting rounds at it. He must've found an injured or dying one. It's the only thing I can see that makes sense of his claim. A moose is tough to kill with a shotgun or a serious rifle, I can't see anyone killing a healthy one with a .22.

yes, why do women love this movie so much?

This seems like the most likely scenario, if it was already dead or dying it may not have been safe to eat anyways (unless it was just old).
I can't imagine he stalked it for miles, from what we know he didn't know the area at all so couldn't have got back to the bus.

Esepcially with such a small caliber, if the moose didn't just run away it would have attacked after being shot. They are dangerous animals.
