Not a lot of talking or discussion while exiting the theater. I think we all felt sadness over Christopher McCandless' fate. No happy Hollywood "feel good" ending anywhere in site.
I'm sure you are aware that Sean Penn had to agree to work closely with the McCandless family so that the portrait presented here was a reasonable facsimile of the true story.
Hal Holbrook deserves an oscar nomination for best supporting actor for his work this film.
Highly recommended and beautifully filmed.
