| Let me get this straight...This kid threw his entire life away because his parents used to fight a lot? Stupid. I can appreciate a good cross country backpacking adventure, but for better reasons than that. Yes. I am oversimplifying. Actually, am I really? Maybe I should abandon everything to contemplate that. I hate narrators too. I do appreciate a good cross country backpacking adventure, what man doesn't dream of doing that, so I do think this movie is pretty good in that respect. But I thoroughly reject the notion that this kid was some enlightened shining beacon of hope and goodwill. | |

i hate to be one of those blowhards who says the book is better, but you do understand him more after reading the book.
ReplyDeletei read the book. haven't seen the movie yet, but i wasn't impressed with the book either. i think he probably had some serious psychological issues.

if anonymous heidi doesn't like it thats good enough for me.
ReplyDeletei think a lot of people view him as a shining beacon of hope because he was a college graduate and donated $24,000 to a charity. if he was a high school dropout from a background of poverty, people would be less interested.
ReplyDeleteah. i gotcha. its all about money.
