Quote:
My only point is that "Into the Wild" is not about a wilderness adventure at all, it is about someone who chose to walk away from society and who just happened to be drawn to a large wilderness area instead of a large urban area.

But that's kinda by definition going to be a wilderness adventure.

But what, really, is so wrong about walking away from society now and then? Remember, Chris did return to a society of his liking from time to time. I'm unconvinced that just because someone follows their dream with the passion of youth that we should call them crazy.
