Into the Wild
Just finished watching this movie called 'Into the Wild'. I stumbled upon it by chance because Eddie Vedder (the lead singer of Pearl Jam (my joint favourite band)) wrote and sung all songs in its soundtrack. The soundtrack, itself, is refreshingly acoustic might I add. Reading a bit about the movie, it reminded me of the greatest movies of all time IMHO - The Motorcycle Diaries - discovering the great outdoors; and another common feature - it is also based on true events.
Words fall short for 'Into the Wild' - what an experience! The visuals seem like straight out of the National Geographic channel. Who knew America was so beautiful! I'm sure India has a lot of natural beauty too and I feel more compelled than ever to discover it. Alas, if only wishes were horses and horses could fly. :(
The reason why I loved the movie was also because I can almost relate to the protagonist's mindset - to run away from this "ordinary" life. I think we are all meant to do greater things than sitting on a chair inside some glass building from 9-5 staring at an LCD screen. There is so much in life to do. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I have a long time to go right now. Lets hope I also have the ambition and courage.
