| 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.
i 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.
i 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.
ah. i gotcha. its all about money.
