the line; he was a religious zealot.
McC died by accident, from a careless mistake no experienced camper--- not to mention outdoors-person-- would make. A tenderfoot attempting to rough it in Alaska is "asking for it." He should have stayed "down under" and lived the hobo life. Or not. We can escape into solipsism and egoism merely by shutting ourselves up in a small room.
Agree on the girl: she has a future and it's not in singing (please?).
The film did have those divisions from childhood to maturity which I found a bit heavy-handed: the story should have been sufficient to communicate it.
I think Hirsch did very little with a long film in which he was on camera the whole time. He just seemed so... ordinary.
And that's what the film tried to do: portray the guy as just another kid that was wandering and looking for something. Not long ago, an entire generation did that. A lot of kids still do though they choose drugs as their vehicle.
You know, if McC hadn't died, his story wouldn't be worth telling.
