Into the wild

I watched this movie..into the wild the other day and it struck a chord with me..its about a Guy just graduated from a good college and he decides in order to have happiness in his life(he had a shitty childhood) he is to ditch his life and head on foot to Alaska to live in the wild and be alone..thinks happiness is him alone in the wild.he does just that..doesn't keep contact with anyone during the two years he's gone.He burned up all his money ditched his car.and just left.you know how many times I have pondered just dropping off the face of the earth like that..and Gina and I have always said Alaska would be our final destination..he gets to Alaska from west virgina meeting people and having adventures along the way..walking mostly.. while in alaska he starts thinking back to all the experiences he had on the road during the last two years and realizes(to late) tht true happiness is shared.he tries to leave to go back home and with the spring thaw he can't cross the river and he's out of food and provisions.so in desperation he starts to eat the plants..he eats the wrong one and winds up dying ..alone ..in the wild...I don't know it was one of those movies tht made me stop and think for a moment..
