Who is your favorite character in this movie, and why?

Carine McCandless, Chris' younger sister.


First of all, I have a brother, too, and he left home and live alone.

When Chris left home, the only one that afford the pressure and comfort their parents is Carine. I think she is as great as her brother, because she needs to handle everything Chris left behind,and fight back the reality while her brother escaped from it.
    

What have you learned from this movie?


Somebody envy Chris original life, top university, rich family, nice car, in fact, he could own whatever he wants, but this is not his ideal life.He wants nature,and wild, just wild, the primitive state of the world.
    
Is there anything you want to do differently if you were the character?

Yes.
If I were Christopher, I would at least talk in to my parents beforehand. 
I am not saying that Chris is not responsible for his family, I could understand that he wants to leave everything behind,and embrace the nature. But I would like to say goodbye to the loved ones before I leave.
    
Did you learn anything new about you after watching this movie?

I've always dreamed another life that I were living in the wild, there's no society, no friends,no family, you only have yourself.
Can I tolerate the lonely life? Can I survive the difficult situation without others' help? To make an ordinary choice is way more easy than a unique one.
     





Which scene or song or any part of the movie that you like the best? Talk about it.

My favorite scene is the very last scene of this movie. He looked away with tears streams down his face. He was imaging a totally different life,"What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now?" It is shocking and make me think about this question, what if Chris never leave his house, what would his life become?
