Alexander Supertramp



This movie is about a man young man named Christopher McCandless. He decides to throw in the towel on society and hitchhikes to Alaska. Christopher lived a life of non conformity, which is not usually the case with most people. Take for example the Asch experiment, where people give a completely wrong answer just because thats what everyone else does. It makes me happy to know that some people don't just live the way they do because thats what is socially acceptable. I can only imagine how much cooler the world would be without conformity.

    I like how you made the comparison to the Asch experiment!

    I agree with you. I saw Into the Wild rather recently and it was a breathtaking movie. While I don't think I would ever attempt to live by myself or isolate myself from society, I have to admire the way he follows his convictions to the end and the way he doesn't let other people's opinions affect his own beliefs.
