In June 2008 my partner & I watched this movie. In July we gave away all of our possessions, resigned from our jobs, and hit the road with a tent and and the faith that we would find much more to experience. We traveled 17,000 miles in a Beetle, lived in Virginia, Wyoming, & Arizona. We camped everywhere in between. We survived it with a new found respect for this complicated but wonderful world we live in. We just came back to the apartment where it all began. Life is a beautiful journey. Never lose site of the beauty within and that which surrounds us on all sides. Most profound soundtrack that still impacts me in a very specific way to this very day. Love, Peace, and Wisdom. You don't always have to make the perfect choice sometimes it helps to choose a path and be willing to bend as the path wonders. Eyes wide open and soul more open than eyes.
Some people call him an idiot. Others think he was just a dreamer. I really don't care how the story ends. In the end, everyone dies anyway! But man, it's not about the destination... It's about the journey. i saw the movie 2 years ago. I think I would never be able to leave the route again.
As a young 24-year-old now, besides having great respect for Christopher John McCandless, as a concrete example of the philosophical understanding that very few people can realize in their lives, the desire to discover the superior reality that lies deep in the human soul and to achieve this kind of life, I would like to thank him for making us feel the happiness of this kind of life as a result of his journey and struggle. Rest in peace Alex Supertramp...
@@dontshootimfri3ndly853 I think after a point he realized that today's modern man cannot hold on to nature in a healthy way according to his own thoughts and motivation.
This is such a great, yet saddening story. The movie was a great representation I believe, and Eddie did a WONDERFUL job with the soundtrack....RIP wherever you are SUPERTRAMP!
An absolutly priceless film and history. I just love it so very much indeed. I recommende it to everybody " Into the whild" you´ll never regret this film. A very touching film and thank you so much Eddi for all the amazing songs too.
Anyone else have the inner call to break the chains of society and live life like how it's supposed to? In the woods, no law, no money, absolutely freedom. If so, prepare yourself with lots of knowledge and surviving techniques or you won't come far, that's a promise and you would end up like Chris. Prepare for being there and the road to there.
Have no fear For when I'm alone I'll be better off Than I was before I've got this light I'll be around to grow Who I was before I cannot recall Long nights allow Me to feel I'm falling I am falling The lights go out Let me feel I'm falling I am falling safely to the ground I'll take this soul That's inside me now Like a brand new friend I'll forever know I've got this life And the will to show I will always be Better than before Long nights allow Me to feel I'm falling I am falling The lights go out Let me feel I'm falling I am falling safely to the ground
I was in India a few years ago and read the book and it was such an inspiration! People can speculate on who he was and what his motives were, but he chose his own path and lived his life the way that he wanted and for me, that is what it is about! You can sit in your mortgaged house, with your credit card debt, working the job that you hate, judging him, but at least he had the balls to have a go at living out of the mainstream. Yes, he paid the ultimate price, but that was his choice!
For many of us, modern society does not meet our basic psychological needs as humans. Without a connection with the natural world, and often coupled with the lack of a "tribe" to which a person can feel connected and loved, many fall victim to psychological maladies. For me, what helps me cope with my presence in modern society is to take time to get away from it for "recovery" so to speak. It helps to see what beauty there still is in the world. Otherwise, we may see only the grey of our cities and the apathy and narcisism of those around us, who are also largely products of a similar disconnect with "tribe" and nature.
“Chris McCandless was deeply kind and supremely selfish; tremendously brave and jaw-droppingly foolish; impressively competent and staggeringly inept; that is to say, he was hewn from the same crooked timber as the rest of us."
cara não me canso de ouvir essa música.ela toca na Alma,faz vc Repensar sobre sua Vida,tanto no passado quanto no futuro. Já são 7 anos vindo nesse vídeo pelo menos um Vez por Dia.
Eu tenho essa Vontade Tbm. mas infelizmente as nossas obrigações com essa "Sociedade,e sua raça louca",como diria Eddi Vedder. nos faz adiar os nossos sonhos.como " esse de conhecer o magic bus". mas quem sabe um dia.
saw the movie 2 months ago, I can't forget about the story... It's breathtaking and I still can't understand that such an intelligent person looked over something stupid... An inspiration for anyone/everyone. I will carry you for always in my heart mr supertramp...and I will try to live.
wojszjm I didn't understand the movie? What's not to understand? He forgot to read the side effects of a plant in his book. Because when you don't eat day after day, you can't think clearly and do stupid things.
Dom Chambers He died of starvation, not food poisoning. They just did that for the movie. No toxins were found in any of his food, and the berry they mentioned in the film is not toxic. However a later article mentioned ODAP potentially compounding the malnourishment and starvation he was already experiencing, which could have helped kill him faster. For a smart person, he showed a distinct lack of common sense. You can't just expect to walk out into the wilderness, burning the amount of calories he was, and not at least know what you're doing. He was ill prepared and didn't really know how to survive out there all by his lonesome. His ideology was sound, but his execution wasn't well thought out.
Aah this movie... Ahh this song.. Ahh the soundtrack.. Aah the acting.. Aah EDDIE. You know a movie is good when He puts his music in it. That's a complete test of faith, and I agree with you, Eddie. This movie was worth your artistic excellence. Kudos for that.
This movie has changed my perception about life and given me traveling goals. wherever you go try to live there like the locals do know their culture and learn about this beautiful world more. Traveling makes you wiser. A fan from INDIA.
La muerte no es nada habiendo vivido, el se atrevio a vivir por si mismo, sin depender de la sociedad, independientemente de su final, no le pidió responsabilidades a nadie, asumió las consecuencias de sus actos de manera consciente. VIVIO!
Vivio, pero se arrepintio en el ultimo de sus alientos, "Happiness is only true when's shared". El tenia felicidad, siempre fue alguien que no dependio de nadie pero no esa felicidad, no tenia con quien compartirla, not there, not Into The Wild.
la felicidad es real cuando se comparte , el se dio cuenta que viviendo solo realmente no lograría ser feliz , aunque el mismo sentía que solo estaba bien . pero algo en su interior sabía cómo de producía la felicidad que no era el sino también otros .
this guy had such an important potential to help society change it's way, but unfortunally didn't make it farder... wish we all can see many like him around one day!
This is beatiful and the sam time sad and the same time awesome...A lot of feelings run inside my body when i hear THIS son and see all this picrtures of this ameazing guy :') R.I.P Alexander Supertram
I wish I'd had the strength and courage to travel alone - to go step by step into this wonderful life. But I'm stuck here always at the same place and dream of the big world - knowing I will never be ready to take the first step.. but I dream on - what a wonderful movie - wonderful Sound..
Julia.dreaming Baby steps. If Chris could learn as he went then anyone can if they can maintain faith in their own ability to learn. But this album, the books, Chris himself...its about an inward journey and it can happen anywhere. Change helps, and for Chris and many others there is something about covering distances but its not for everyone. All the best, its good not to have specific things to run from. Truly a blessing.
julia. To be honest...the dream is always easier than reality..to do this sort of thing...you will lose all of who you thought you were , the gift in return...you find your True self. Anything is possible if you feel it with your heart :)
Alexander Lange when i watch this film, in the last part, i think he will come back your home, but he die,...it is not happy ending. on other hand, it is suitable with film's name if he collect something when he come back. It is all in my opinion.
Yea i know, but he finally gets is question answared. It is a bit of a sad ending but he found what he was looking for and he had alot of good memories. He died with a smile on his lips :)
La película intenta dar a entender lo contrario, que la felicidad existe sin necesidad de pertenecer a la sociedad, es decir, la felicidad de encontrarse a si mismo, sentirse fuerte y ver la verdadera belleza natural.
Gives me hope if everything fucks up i can live this life! All of you should understand that whatever happens you can look the other way and start a fresh life somewhere. YOU are NOT trapped in your situation! You are free!
You are NOT free though.. being able to survive separated from the rest of society requires knowledge and ability. You can't just dump it all and expect to survive. To live free of society actually takes more time, more effort than living in it. You are not free, effort is labor or you shall perish like he did.
Krumple Themal I think that you are correct in that it takes labor, knowledge, ability, e.t.c. to live outside of the bounds of society but to have those skills, use them, and recognize that the whole culture is a game is certainly a huge freedom and that could, for plenty of people, mean being free. freedom may be easier to accept than you'd think. +TheCameltotem is damn right i think. =)
Ya, but what is at the core of everything fucking up often times is the one thing you take with you when starting over, yourself. Your damnation or liberation is not found in people, places, and/or things. It only resides within you.
Take that Step......as the days pass your fascination with the natural Rhythms of the sun & moon will increase and a calm sense of being will stretch to the furthest horizon, you'll begin to wonder..."how does this work"?...as you make the direct discovery of Life Itself meeting all your needs. In 1988 I took that step, I didn't go to come back with a one-way ticket to Bombay - lived and travelled in more than 30 countries since. Turned 50 last month,have no need to travel as I have a productive and contented life with my family in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Give All to Have All.
+Mass Frat - Over the last 4yrs ChiangMai has been "discovered".....you may find it has lost some of it's charm. Avoid month of March,its the "burning season" and the air quality is poor.
Thanks Haley appreciate your info. I remember the air quality was a problem while I was there and I remember even discussing it with locals. Still one of my fave places and I will send you a message when I arrive. Maybe grab a beer. Cheers.
great song and since christopher saw life throught his own eyes, it makes him a great person. All the critics in the world dont matter, he saw life how he wanted and lived it how he wanted, he was an individual with individuality...and every man on the face of earth that has that will surely get my respect.
I watched this film in in winter 2011 ...i pleaded to my partner we had to just leave..but i think this overwhelmed him, he saw something awoken inside of me. And i remember having this feeling of dread of ergency that if i didnt go that id never be free and o will die inside. I left u.k ended up usa wilderness. I went from crazy society to living in isolation in the woods, and i cried lots..i spoke out to the stars lots and the eagles...and the tears melted away all the crap and then it became clear to me..that i was on the right path . For me, its not about what i have in my hands, this journey for me is about what my heart feels. I am poor and i have endured ...but i have felt..i can feel....the greatest gift of all :) i feel alive.
Rhiannon Machtan that's a really beautiful story and what an amazing adventure ! You certainly have some really interesting stories to pass on. And you're right it's about the journey that takes us there. I think we should all learn something from Chris, I myself am moving to China next month alone not hitchhiking like you or Chris. But I will someday . "The joy from like comes from our encounters and new experiences and hence why there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon and for each day to have a different sun " - Chris. Chris lived more in 2 years than most people live in their entire lives. A scary thought for me is to have done nothing with my life and to stay in the same town forever working a 9-5 job not having explored this amazing planet. Anyhow, Stay safe on your travels.
Mike Hunt ...i wish you safe travels and peace. its not the length of life that matters, its the Depth of life that counts. I now am back into civilization, hate it. I long for the silence ...i shall earn money and disappear again lol. And stay gone! Be safe fellow path finder
Un hymne à la vie un chef-d'œuvre pur beau touchant et m'a totalement envoûté par ce message qui va nous aider à comprendre notre dérive quotidienne et cette perception de la petitesse de l'humanité sur la nature et le respect qu'on lui doit. RIP et merci pour ce film.j'en pleure .des larmes qui nettoient
A dreamer with the balls to live the Walden romance of self sufficiency in the most basic form. Even Henry Thoreau lived in a cabin with the creature comforts of his time. Hats off to you Chris...you have inspired me and many more, much love!
Fala sério... Assisti de novo Into the Wild ontem e ainda tô com aquela deprê pós filme, sabe? Nó na garganta... Que vida, que caminhada... Sem palavras!
I wouldn't say he is a hero.. Cause he is not. What he is, is an inspiration to other people. What he did, many can't do. You're right, he was free. But he was also alone. Only in the end did he realise the most important thing: "Happiness is only real when shared". He teached everyone a very important lesson tough, and I admire his aproach on the world.
I have a deep admiration for anyone brave enough to release himself from the obvious and actually think for his own. You don' t have to make the right choice all the time, but you need to be sure of your own ideas by the time you choose. Free thinking, man... that's the only and ultimate freedom we need.
How do you it has "gone wrong"? Maybe this was just the perfect thing he needed to experience in this life? Maybe this was his fulfillment? And if he didn't there would also not have been a movie made that inspired thousands.
The idealism never went wrong it was an unfortunate accident which happened to him, which could happen to anyone. The most important thing which the story signifies is the fact that one must always take a journey of self realization, as we are surrounded by people we are constantly distracted sometimes so much that we never really speak to our self and understand that person inside us. I believe he finally understood what it meant and hence those lines he wrote
we all admire Chris. for our own reasons. I wish I could just leave it all. society your a selfish breed. and yet here we all sit wishing, drop the phones or the mouse or whatever you are on and roam. discover the earth and all its Wonder's.
Let the wealth grow until it blows them away; util they're stripped from their human dignities, until they can't see a struck sun by day. Then, and for only then, Will the world not be bitten by its own teeth; Swallowed by its own pride, Cuz their now dead like the pie they left to die.
He was a special person...was in search for their freedom and happiness and found that there is no happiness if not shared ... this was the lesson left by him.
me da ganas de llorar cada vez que veo los videos y escucho las musicas. El vivio en pocos anhos lo que muchos en toda su vida no vive..... VIVIO Intensamente!! asi quiero vivir y morir..
So now, after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild.
+Aryanto Yoga that's the stupidest thing i've ever read...happiness is whatever makes you happy...if looking at the goddamn tree makes you happy then you'll look at the goddamn tree!
armydelis esse cara enfrentou seu destino ele de livrou de todos os males do mundo mais faltou uma pessoa ou animal ao lado dele por que " a felicidade só é real quando compartilhada".
@Julia.dreaming- every day you travel ALONE. the adventure is that you KNOW this instead of thinking you are safe and isolated from reality- that is the lie we tell ourselves in the notion that we arent living. Chris McCandless never lived to understand this. Enjoy the sounds of life, the bitterness, the wonder- from a childs laugh to a homeless mans eyes searching, even your own pain- it is an experience that is unique. One day your life and mine will end, and the experience will pass...
This song, this movie, the actor, Alex Supertramp, this journey, this thought...are all on another level altogether. We all learn what we want from them, yet everything we learn can free us. Balm to the spirit and soul, this is.
To find God... every path is ok... the best path is the one of love Love others... always... no matter how they are... no matter what they do... Always love... Well... not that easy actually! :)
+m4d3y3m00dy i'm not the holder of the truth, but not every path is ok, that's what people want you to think, to live life your own way to the fullest, that's a good philosofy but not necessarily the right path, actually i don't wanna sound religious but everyone has a purpose and it's your choice to walk by it, either way, i can't tell you what's right or wrong, you wouldn't believe me and you shouldn't since i'm just a man, if you really wanna find about the truth u should ask God, the real and almighty one! maybe read a bit about him in the bible if you believe in it. I totally agree about loving others no matter what though, have a good day sir.
Maybe I was not clear... every path is ok as every path makes you grow up spiritually... every path changes your consciousness... also if you're an atheist... whatever you do in your life... and you get nearer and nearer to the Divine inside... life after life... that's the trick... :) Nothing to believe in... just something to experience... when you'll begin to see the light inside and you'll realize your Divine essence... you'll get it! Not before... :) Of course I completely agree about the fact everybody has to live life his/her own way to the fullest... :) Namasté P.S. yes... sanskrit is a part of the truth... my own experience :)
The right path is the one that the individual walking it perceives is the right path. It is not for another to pass judgement for what seems wrong to you, may not be wrong for the one travelling their path. No one has a "purpose' as that suggests that everything is preordained and there is no Free Will. You can ask whatever God you worship all you wish but I would question your sanity if you think you are getting an answer. I think it's funny that you only cite the Bible as an example of where to find truth. Your mind is still too programmed and closed to accept the message in Christopher MCcandless' story.
Joel Flanders that's why I told you to ask God the one and above all yourself, you could even find a few answers among the science, but I can't convince you, you can tell yourself all day long that every path leads to God my friend, and I won't judge you for that, but that won't make it anywhere near the truth, we will all find out for sure when we die, I don't mind you "questioning my sanity" and I'm also not afraid of death, because I know where I'm going. The way is narrow and hard to cross, unfortunately I don't expect many people to do it... have a wonderful day :)
Cris' did something not many people do, he lived his life to the fullest. he opend many eyes with his story, and every time i see the movie i want to live my life just like him. he was only 24 when he died butt i think i had a more interesting life than we will ever have. to bad he couldn't tell his story in person, Rest In Peace.
Cette chanson, c'est des souvenirs énormes : la première fois que j'ai vu ce film, que j'ai joué au piano la bande son, que nous sommes partis un mois en Alaska avec ma famille en écoutant le plus souvent possible Eddie Vedder ... Bref, cette chanson représente beaucoup pour moi ... :) ♥
@TsasaaTs Yeah sure he could have donated it, but that's not the point. It was symbolism on his part and us "young people" do not "worship" Supertramp, we look to him because he exemplified how one lives life in respect to themselves and the nature around us rather than becoming corporate drones enduring unhappy circumstances just to keep our heads above water. He stands as an ultimate sign of human freedom and liberation from the struggles of everyday life structured and unnecessarily complicated by fellow men. He dared to break the ties that many cannot and he is an inspiration to many including "young people" because most " young people" are still looking for a way out before it's too late, man.
+Rodrigo Valenzuela Galaz Great pics from the Alexander Supertramp. I would like to be like him. =( haha but the society fucks me. I do not know how to live all alone :(
bless you Michael. I run a skydiving centre in England, but we close for winter. I toss a coin and go wherever it lands. last year I did Vietnam, Laos and C Cambodia. This year its China Burma and South Korea. check out skydivenorthwest. and come and visit. I promise I wont make you jump from a plane. Safe travels my friend
Definitely wait until you are a full grown man, I back pack across the country every summer and some of the things I've seen and dealt with, well if I was 14 I would've been in deep you know what. Follow your dreams and most importantly Jesus Christ.
I think it's more heroic to separate ourselves from society than many other things. It's really really harder to be totally on our own, than stay with other people. Extremely harder.
![Eddie Vedder - Long Nights [HD]](/img/n.gif)
Never a book and movie marked me so much like "Into the wild".
McCandless chaged forever my way of thinking.
Rest in peace, buddy
In June 2008 my partner & I watched this movie. In July we gave away all of our possessions, resigned from our jobs, and hit the road with a tent and and the faith that we would find much more to experience.

What are you doing today?
Thank you, Michael
Love & Respect Michael! from Greece
John Doe Well how much did Alexander Supertramp need for it? hehe
Some people call him an idiot. Others think he was just a dreamer.
I really don't care how the story ends. In the end, everyone dies anyway! But man, it's not about the destination... It's about the journey.
i saw the movie 2 years ago. I think I would never be able to leave the route again.
+Luivir Rangel ya.... sometimes the road calls...

You know in the end he wanted to give the whole wild thing up and go back home right?
@@dontshootimfri3ndly853 I think after a point he realized that today's modern man cannot hold on to nature in a healthy way according to his own thoughts and motivation.
This is such a great, yet saddening story. The movie was a great representation I believe, and Eddie did a WONDERFUL job with the soundtrack....RIP wherever you are SUPERTRAMP!
The only way I can explain this song is that it brings my sorrows to the light and makes me feel free in some form of expression.
Hayatımı değiştiren adam Huzur içinde uyu kardeşim.
I loved this movie and thanks to it I have found Pearl Jam. Thank you Chris I hope that you have found peace in afterlife.
This movie changed my life, gave me the desire strength and courage to set off into the Wild, a little more cautious than Chris, RIP Supertramp
+Joy Hobbs So you went to a Trump rally! Damn that did take courage! Into the Wild is right
Esa para mi es la lección más grande de la película... la felicidad solo es real cuando es compartida... SOLO PUEDE SER FELICIDAD SI ES COMPARTIDA...
The fact that he did the thing so many people want, makes him an inspiration to people. People see inspirational people as heroes too :)
Thank you Eddie for introducing my heart to my soul.
the soul is different from the body
I think Eddie will one day also get a Nobel Prize like Dylan did. he deserves it. nobody has touched hurt souls more than his music.
An absolutly priceless film and history. I just love it so very much indeed.
I recommende it to everybody " Into the whild" you´ll never regret this film.
A very touching film and thank you so much Eddi for all the amazing songs too.

Playlists good advice for people who are afraid to die! I think most of us aren't.
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off
Than I was before
I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
Long nights allow
Me to feel I'm falling
I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel I'm falling
I am falling
safely to the ground
I'll take this soul
That's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know
I've got this life
And the will to show
I will always be
Better than before
Long nights allow
Me to feel I'm falling
I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel I'm falling
I am falling
safely to the ground

Doesn't have to be nature at all I find video games a great escape in itself..
“Chris McCandless was deeply kind and supremely selfish; tremendously brave and jaw-droppingly foolish; impressively competent and staggeringly inept; that is to say, he was hewn from the same crooked timber as the rest of us."

I don"t think it has been put so succinctly and wisely before...Very well said.

He's on about the way he ate paralysing berries by accident and died from starvation during paralysis
wojszjm I didn't understand the movie? What's not to understand? He forgot to read the side effects of a plant in his book. Because when you don't eat day after day, you can't think clearly and do stupid things.
1980venom No he got the berry wrong I think, looked like a berry that was safe, I may be wrong but.
Dom Chambers
He died of starvation, not food poisoning. They just did that for the movie.
No toxins were found in any of his food, and the berry they mentioned in the film is not toxic. However a later article mentioned ODAP potentially compounding the malnourishment and starvation he was already experiencing, which could have helped kill him faster.
For a smart person, he showed a distinct lack of common sense. You can't just expect to walk out into the wilderness, burning the amount of calories he was, and not at least know what you're doing. He was ill prepared and didn't really know how to survive out there all by his lonesome. His ideology was sound, but his execution wasn't well thought out.

this guy had such an important potential to help society change it's way, but unfortunally didn't make it farder... wish we all can see many like him around one day!
This is beatiful and the sam time sad and the same time awesome...A lot of feelings run inside my body when i hear THIS son and see all this picrtures of this ameazing guy :') R.I.P Alexander Supertram
I wish I'd had the strength and courage to travel alone - to go step by step into this wonderful life. But I'm stuck here always at the same place and dream of the big world - knowing I will never be ready to take the first step.. but I dream on - what a wonderful movie - wonderful Sound..
Julia.dreaming YOu could always go out mate :)
Julia.dreaming Baby steps. If Chris could learn as he went then anyone can if they can maintain faith in their own ability to learn. But this album, the books, Chris himself...its about an inward journey and it can happen anywhere. Change helps, and for Chris and many others there is something about covering distances but its not for everyone. All the best, its good not to have specific things to run from. Truly a blessing.
julia. To be honest...the dream is always easier than reality..to do this sort of thing...you will lose all of who you thought you were , the gift in return...you find your True self. Anything is possible if you feel it with your heart :)
two words: great man!
Ripix300 No word - because hes incredible
one word: LEGEND!
não consigo superar esse filme
"A felicidade só é real quando é compartilhada."
the song is beautiful...but i feel so bad when i think about this film ... :(
Why does it make you feel bad?
Alexander Lange when i watch this film, in the last part, i think he will come back your home, but he die,...it is not happy ending.
on other hand, it is suitable with film's name if he collect something when he come back.
It is all in my opinion.
Hạ Dương
:( Yes for this i feel bad ,,,and because is a true story :(
Alexander Lange
because in the and this story is true ! he die :/
Yea i know, but he finally gets is question answared. It is a bit of a sad ending but he found what he was looking for and he had alot of good memories.
He died with a smile on his lips :)
Esta música es maravillosa
la liberté n'a pas de prix ............beaucoup de respect pour l'histoire de chris
La película intenta dar a entender lo contrario, que la felicidad existe sin necesidad de pertenecer a la sociedad, es decir, la felicidad de encontrarse a si mismo, sentirse fuerte y ver la verdadera belleza natural.
what if I were smiling and running into your arms, would you see then what I see now... (R.I.P CHRISTOPHER)

Gives me hope if everything fucks up i can live this life!
All of you should understand that whatever happens you can look the other way and start a fresh life somewhere.
YOU are NOT trapped in your situation! You are free!
Nice words. Sometimes is just realy hard to realise it =P But I totaly agree with U mate =)
You are NOT free though.. being able to survive separated from the rest of society requires knowledge and ability. You can't just dump it all and expect to survive. To live free of society actually takes more time, more effort than living in it. You are not free, effort is labor or you shall perish like he did.
Krumple Themal I think that you are correct in that it takes labor, knowledge, ability, e.t.c. to live outside of the bounds of society but to have those skills, use them, and recognize that the whole culture is a game is certainly a huge freedom and that could, for plenty of people, mean being free. freedom may be easier to accept than you'd think.
+TheCameltotem is damn right i think. =)
Ya, but what is at the core of everything fucking up often times is the one thing you take with you when starting over, yourself. Your damnation or liberation is not found in people, places, and/or things. It only resides within you.
Can anybody write lyrics like Eddie Vedder?! What a gift his music is to the world.
when I saw these pictures of Alexander Supertramp, I was starting to cry.. what an amazing boy! Supertramp u are living on us..
Take that Step......as the days pass your fascination with the natural Rhythms of the sun & moon will increase and a calm sense of being will stretch to the furthest horizon, you'll begin to wonder..."how does this work"?...as you make the direct discovery of Life Itself meeting all your needs. In 1988 I took that step, I didn't go to come back with a one-way ticket to Bombay - lived and travelled in more than 30 countries since. Turned 50 last month,have no need to travel as I have a productive and contented life with my family in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Give All to Have All.
im guessing either Chiang mai or Chiang rai... lived in CM and loved it!
+Mass Frat - Yup, ChiangMai.
i knew it becoz its one of the most livable beautiful cities I think in Asia. I plan to visit again soon. Cheers!
+Mass Frat - Over the last 4yrs ChiangMai has been "discovered".....you may find it has lost some of it's charm. Avoid month of March,its the "burning season" and the air quality is poor.
Thanks Haley appreciate your info. I remember the air quality was a problem while I was there and I remember even discussing it with locals. Still one of my fave places and I will send you a message when I arrive. Maybe grab a beer. Cheers.
Eddie touch my heart and soul ...
great song and since christopher saw life throught his own eyes, it makes him a great person. All the critics in the world dont matter, he saw life how he wanted and lived it how he wanted, he was an individual with individuality...and every man on the face of earth that has that will surely get my respect.
Impossível ouvir e não se emocionar, não sentir na alma... Impossible hear it and not be moved, do not feel the soul...
this movie..
Supertramp :)
Débora Santos supertramp ;(
I watched this film in in winter 2011 ...i pleaded to my partner we had to just leave..but i think this overwhelmed him, he saw something awoken inside of me. And i remember having this feeling of dread of ergency that if i didnt go that id never be free and o will die inside. I left u.k ended up usa wilderness. I went from crazy society to living in isolation in the woods, and i cried lots..i spoke out to the stars lots and the eagles...and the tears melted away all the crap and then it became clear to me..that i was on the right path . For me, its not about what i have in my hands, this journey for me is about what my heart feels. I am poor and i have endured ...but i have felt..i can feel....the greatest gift of all :) i feel alive.
Rhiannon Machtan that's a really beautiful story and what an amazing adventure ! You certainly have some really interesting stories to pass on. And you're right it's about the journey that takes us there. I think we should all learn something from Chris, I myself am moving to China next month alone not hitchhiking like you or Chris. But I will someday .
"The joy from like comes from our encounters and new experiences and hence why there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon and for each day to have a different sun " - Chris.
Chris lived more in 2 years than most people live in their entire lives. A scary thought for me is to have done nothing with my life and to stay in the same town forever working a 9-5 job not having explored this amazing planet. Anyhow, Stay safe on your travels.
Mike Hunt ...i wish you safe travels and peace. its not the length of life that matters, its the Depth of life that counts.
I now am back into civilization, hate it. I long for the silence ...i shall earn money and disappear again lol. And stay gone!
Be safe fellow path finder
Un hymne à la vie un chef-d'œuvre pur beau touchant et m'a totalement envoûté par ce message qui va nous aider à comprendre notre dérive quotidienne et cette perception de la petitesse de l'humanité sur la nature et le respect qu'on lui doit. RIP et merci pour ce film.j'en pleure .des larmes qui nettoient
congratulations Eddie
Essa música mexe na alma de um jeito que não consigo dizer
The pictures of Chris make me cry so hard... He's such a role model.
A dreamer with the balls to live the Walden romance of self sufficiency in the most basic form. Even Henry Thoreau lived in a cabin with the creature comforts of his time. Hats off to you Chris...you have inspired me and many more, much love!
If Chris never took this pilgrimage, alot of people wouldnt have been inspired by his story. R.I.P
Essa música mexe na alma mano! Cadê os Br????
Mexe com certeza
+Douglas Santos Faz escorrer lágrimas....ainda mais pensando nos últimos dias desse cara.....
Fala sério... Assisti de novo Into the Wild ontem e ainda tô com aquela deprê pós filme, sabe? Nó na garganta... Que vida, que caminhada... Sem palavras!
muito fodaaaaaaaaaaaaa
FODA É OUVIR ESSA MUSICA A NOITE ANTES DE DORMI.VC NÃO CONSEGUE DORMIR,FICA SÓ PENSANDO,PENSANDO...
I wouldn't say he is a hero.. Cause he is not. What he is, is an inspiration to other people. What he did, many can't do. You're right, he was free. But he was also alone. Only in the end did he realise the most important thing: "Happiness is only real when shared". He teached everyone a very important lesson tough, and I admire his aproach on the world.
I have a deep admiration for anyone brave enough to release himself from the obvious and actually think for his own. You don' t have to make the right choice all the time, but you need to be sure of your own ideas by the time you choose. Free thinking, man... that's the only and ultimate freedom we need.
A touching story of young idealism gone wrong. I love his philosophy but nature is indifferent to philosophy and is hard and merciless at times.
How do you it has "gone wrong"? Maybe this was just the perfect thing he needed to experience in this life? Maybe this was his fulfillment?
And if he didn't there would also not have been a movie made that inspired thousands.
lokanoda He said in his own notes that it had gone wrong. He wanted to go home in the end and couldn't.
The idealism never went wrong it was an unfortunate accident which happened to him, which could happen to anyone. The most important thing which the story signifies is the fact that one must always take a journey of self realization, as we are surrounded by people we are constantly distracted sometimes so much that we never really speak to our self and understand that person inside us. I believe he finally understood what it meant and hence those lines he wrote
at least he lived and died by his ideal
dddvbbb at least nature killed him, not society
:P
It just soo sad the way he died...
i seriously have unconditional love for this man and his story! R.I.P. Christopher.
And the God sends us Eddie Vedder! Incredible song!
historia perfeita musica interpretaçao inpecavel parabens
we all admire Chris. for our own reasons. I wish I could just leave it all. society your a selfish breed. and yet here we all sit wishing, drop the phones or the mouse or whatever you are on and roam. discover the earth and all its Wonder's.
Let the wealth grow until it blows them away; util they're stripped from their human dignities, until they can't see a struck sun by day.
Then, and for only then,
Will the world not be bitten by its own teeth;
Swallowed by its own pride,
Cuz their now dead like the pie they left to die.
Christopher Johnson McCandless R.I.P GOOD MAN
Alexander Supertramp
He was a special person...was in search for their freedom and happiness and found that there is no happiness if not shared ... this was the lesson left by him.
Beautiful and so so sad... :((
Only the good die young. RIP Chris
did you know him or do you just assume that he was good?
Tom Hoslos there's a book about him and a movie called into the wild you should check it out
Todd Beer It wasn't ment for you pal...It was for Tom Hoslos.😧
RIP Alexander Supertramp. Every time i see an airoplane trail i think of you. Your story inspired me to roam. mushlove.
me da ganas de llorar cada vez que veo los videos y escucho las musicas. El vivio en pocos anhos lo que muchos en toda su vida no vive..... VIVIO Intensamente!! asi quiero vivir y morir..
So now, after two rambling years
comes the final and greatest adventure.
The climactic battle to kill
the false being within
and victoriously conclude
the spiritual revolution.
No longer to be poisoned
by civilization, he flees,
and walks alone
upon the land to become
lost in the wild.
the Only time i feel alone is when i am around people..
but the happiness is only real when shared
+Aryanto Yoga
that's the stupidest thing i've ever read...happiness is whatever makes you happy...if looking at the goddamn tree makes you happy then you'll look at the goddamn tree!
dawnriddler Bruh it's in the movie....
armydelis esse cara enfrentou seu destino ele de livrou de todos os males do mundo mais faltou uma pessoa ou animal ao lado dele por que " a felicidade só é real quando compartilhada".
dawnriddler would you enjoy life if you were the only sentient being alive?Would that life be enjoyable at all or even worth living? Think about it.
My Superhero!!
a SMILE in every photo, he may have died younf, but he died happily with experiences we could only dream of, an amazing idol!
@Julia.dreaming- every day you travel ALONE. the adventure is that you KNOW this instead of thinking you are safe and isolated from reality- that is the lie we tell ourselves in the notion that we arent living. Chris McCandless never lived to understand this. Enjoy the sounds of life, the bitterness, the wonder- from a childs laugh to a homeless mans eyes searching, even your own pain- it is an experience that is unique. One day your life and mine will end, and the experience will pass...
Alexander Supertramp!!!
Thanks Eddie, thanks for making me cry and/or smile every time I hear this song.
This song, this movie, the actor, Alex Supertramp, this journey, this thought...are all on another level altogether. We all learn what we want from them, yet everything we learn can free us. Balm to the spirit and soul, this is.
I start this journey to find God by realizing I know nothing about him...
To find God... every path is ok... the best path is the one of love
Love others... always... no matter how they are... no matter what they do...
Always love...
Well... not that easy actually! :)
+m4d3y3m00dy i'm not the holder of the truth, but not every path is ok, that's what people want you to think, to live life your own way to the fullest, that's a good philosofy but not necessarily the right path, actually i don't wanna sound religious but everyone has a purpose and it's your choice to walk by it, either way, i can't tell you what's right or wrong, you wouldn't believe me and you shouldn't since i'm just a man, if you really wanna find about the truth u should ask God, the real and almighty one! maybe read a bit about him in the bible if you believe in it. I totally agree about loving others no matter what though, have a good day sir.
Maybe I was not clear... every path is ok as every path makes you grow up spiritually... every path changes your consciousness... also if you're an atheist... whatever you do in your life... and you get nearer and nearer to the Divine inside... life after life... that's the trick... :)
Nothing to believe in... just something to experience... when you'll begin to see the light inside and you'll realize your Divine essence... you'll get it! Not before... :)
Of course I completely agree about the fact everybody has to live life his/her own way to the fullest... :)
Namasté
P.S. yes... sanskrit is a part of the truth... my own experience :)
The right path is the one that the individual walking it perceives is the right path. It is not for another to pass judgement for what seems wrong to you, may not be wrong for the one travelling their path. No one has a "purpose' as that suggests that everything is preordained and there is no Free Will. You can ask whatever God you worship all you wish but I would question your sanity if you think you are getting an answer. I think it's funny that you only cite the Bible as an example of where to find truth. Your mind is still too programmed and closed to accept the message in Christopher MCcandless' story.
Joel Flanders that's why I told you to ask God the one and above all yourself, you could even find a few answers among the science, but I can't convince you, you can tell yourself all day long that every path leads to God my friend, and I won't judge you for that, but that won't make it anywhere near the truth, we will all find out for sure when we die, I don't mind you "questioning my sanity" and I'm also not afraid of death, because I know where I'm going. The way is narrow and hard to cross, unfortunately I don't expect many people to do it... have a wonderful day :)
It's a little sad to see so many people arguing on an Eddie Vedder video, especially this one. Lighten up a little guys ;)
Cris' did something not many people do, he lived his life to the fullest.
he opend many eyes with his story, and every time i see the movie i want to live my life just like him.
he was only 24 when he died butt i think i had a more interesting life than we will ever have.
to bad he couldn't tell his story in person,
Rest In Peace.
Cette chanson, c'est des souvenirs énormes : la première fois que j'ai vu ce film, que j'ai joué au piano la bande son, que nous sommes partis un mois en Alaska avec ma famille en écoutant le plus souvent possible Eddie Vedder ... Bref, cette chanson représente beaucoup pour moi ... :) ♥
@TsasaaTs
Yeah sure he could have donated it, but that's not the point. It was symbolism on his part and us "young people" do not "worship" Supertramp, we look to him because he exemplified how one lives life in respect to themselves and the nature around us rather than becoming corporate drones enduring unhappy circumstances just to keep our heads above water. He stands as an ultimate sign of human freedom and liberation from the struggles of everyday life structured and unnecessarily complicated by fellow men. He dared to break the ties that many cannot and he is an inspiration to many including "young people" because most " young people" are still looking for a way out before it's too late, man.
He did donate most of his money to charity before he left.
Moruk bence adam en yaşanası hayatı yaşamış !!!!!!......
This is a perfect example of the kind of life that a visionary can live. It is not perfect for him but it opens our eyes to new approaches,
gran historia de un hobre al que admirar, solo ver estas imagenes me hacen envidiarlo
+ Rodrigo Valenzuela Galaz Muito obrigado. Meu coração está incendiado!
+Rodrigo Valenzuela Galaz Great pics from the Alexander Supertramp. I would like to be like him. =( haha but the society fucks me. I do not know how to live all alone :(

Try?That's an easy way to say.How can you try when you are chained with family?Can't go outside the boundary bro.
Kapil Dahal Yes. You're right Kapil.
Kapil Dahal
you can go outside the boundaries. otherwise you ll be just another goat. grazing to stay alive.
12 years on and still vibing to this single album and movie
❤️❤️❤️😔
Chris McCandless inspires me to think of freedom as being sincere with your dreams and your inner voice.
Ser libre no significa no tener responsabilidades, ser libre es decidir como afrontarlas. Y creo que este tipo se dio cuenta de ello ya muy tarde.
no
no
no
No tiene nada que ver con las "responsabilidades".
no
i wanna go and travel the world my own but im scared only 14 years old
***** yeah thanks
Definitely wait until you are a full grown man, I back pack across the country every summer and some of the things I've seen and dealt with, well if I was 14 I would've been in deep you know what. Follow your dreams and most importantly Jesus Christ.
+Rodrigo Olival studies first :)
+ryan smith Would like the share a travel story?
+ryan smith I'd love to hear a story
I think it's more heroic to separate ourselves from society than many other things. It's really really harder to be totally on our own, than stay with other people. Extremely harder.
Happiness it's only real when shared... this film changed my life...
Ojalá tuviera cojones para hacer lo que hizo él...
Eddys music and Chris story give me strengh, to beliefe in myself, and to start living life... Thanks
45years ago that great man was born. Happy birhday Chris!
NON CI SONO PAROLE PER DESCRIVERE LA BELLEZZA DI INTO THE WILD. è TUTTO, è LA VITA PER ME. E CHE CANZONI.... GRAZIE CHRIS!!!!
