He didn't commit suicide (according to the film) and I don't know where you got the impression that he's mentally ill either.
He didn't want or crave the pursuit of material possessions and he wanted to experience life outside of all the fluff, bullshit and external forces of modern existence.
It's a perspective that I admire.

I really enjoyed it. It's intelligent, his story is thought provoking, it's well acted, emotive and fantastically shot. A film like this is never meant to be a blockbuster that appeals to the masses - it just wouldn't suit the script.

I feel like doing this more and more everyday.

Well, from my perspective, people who go into the backcountry as he did without the proper skill or gear are on a suicide mission.

What was glamourised about it? I found it pretty depressing at times.

The book mentions that there were cabins 4km from the bus how did he not come across these? If he did know about them why did he not go to them when he found out he was fucked trying to cross the river to get back out, or when he was sick. Why didn't he try to find another part of the river to cross. So many unanswered questions ha.
He wasn't right in the head though thats for sure.
- i think Penn must have tread carefully around his character and mental state, out of respect for his family.horton

great story, well made.. sean penn did a great job. i just kinda wish his character and journey wasn't quite so warm and fuzzy epic, a little more reality.
and since this is QBN; the opening handwriting graphics/credits... they were horrible.
- like the 16 year old hippy girl.. i don't know what the real story was and hate to sound like a dirty pig...horton
- but i maybe woulda found his character a little more real if he wasn't so perfect and broke in some situations like thishorton
- So right about the tile sequence. I couldn't believe how amateur-ish it was!stoplying

yeah no suicide ... mother nature tragically traps him
and in his weakened state of mind he eats the poisoned weed

this is the kind of movie that requires certain maturity and state of mind to enjoy. i'm pretty sure i would hate it as a kid the very same way i hated films by Godard and Fellini, but likewise watching the original Star Wars nowdays annoys the shit out of me. We change as people over time and thus we have different likes. At this moment in my like i though the film was spectacular -- even the average cinematography ("lazy" and "crappy" at times) adds to the over all vibe.

Graphics - Yeah, they were shit. Particularly when the hand written bit morphed into the title.

Oh yeah, i really enjoyed this movie for the visual aspect. Alaska is gorgeous and I can't wait to visit it someday. And while I would love to be brave enough to do what that kid did, it seems incredibly selfish... seems he hurt a lot of people in gaining his "freedom"

Apparently there was a hand operated tram 1/4 mile down the river from where wanted to cross. If he had a proper topographical map he would be alive today.

- then the story would be as interesting.khan
- No it wouldn't, but no story is worth the loss of a life.2cents

if, if, if... if i had wings i would be a superman, so what? the point is to do away with everything that isn't necessary, and maps aren't (usually).
