Into The Wild

E and I watched Into The Wild the other night. I really liked it.

It was pretty tragic, and you can definitely argue that it is completely selfish and self-centred to abandon your life and live alone, but still, there is something that really appeals to me about the idea. Being alone, living off the land, having no money because you don't need any.

Yeah - I know what you mean. I saw it a while ago and really liked it. I also liked that one about the guy who goes int Alaska to live with the wolves but can't remember what it was called. Something like "Cry Wolf" I think

oh yeah, I remember us watching that when I was a kid. I'd like to see it again.

Never Cry Wolf, I think you mean. I just looked it up.

PBS had a program about a guy who did the same thing, and he did it into his 90's! It was pretty interesting to watch. I also saw the movie and thought it was very good.

Thanks Tracy, yeah that's the one. That's pretty hardcore, Beth. I'd like to do it for a stint, but into my 90's?
