who ends up starving to death. That seems a rather dramatic event. To portray it as some bad camping experience is to err on the side of caution. His journal only told part of the story, i.e. does one believe what one writes about oneself, wholeheartedly?
Anyhow, glad you enjoyed it. I found the guy and his story self-indulgent and literally pathetic.

"who ends up starving to death. That seems a rather dramatic event."He died very slowly in a very undramatic way, similar to someone with cancer or any other progressive disease.
The story was about the journey, not the destination and if he'd have survived the movie would still have been worth making.
"does one believe what one writes about oneself, wholeheartedly?"
All the characters were interviewed at length so I don't imagine for one second that Penn took the journal at face value.
The impression I had of the main character was of a guy who was very self-centred and who lacked empathy for his family, and whose primary motivation for getting to Alaska was to rebel against his Father and his Father's principles.In that respect I agree with you about his self-indulgence, though I also appreciated his attitude and outlook on life which was thought provoking despite his flawed and naive application.
Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
