Based on the biographical literature of the same name by Jon Krakouer, the movie from a true story is about an honor student of a prestigious private school in Atlanta, who gave up his otherwise comfortable life and donated his savings to charity to find himself in the Alaskan wilderness, where he survived for 100 days, accidentally ingested a poisonous plant that led to intoxication, and ultimately died of starvation in the Alaskan wilderness area.
In my opinion, the hero is a person who has no sense of responsibility and is irresponsible for his own life. The hero abandons his family’s affection and leaves home to wander around, although he meets a lot of friends, he leaves all the people who are good to him and becomes a lonely vagabond, which is not worth it at all.
There are many ways and means for a person to grow up. The knowledge he learned in the wilderness is worthless to normal people, and he pursues extreme freedom and independence, but this pursuit is at the expense of his own life, and he eventually starves to death in the wilderness, such a life is worthless and meaningless.
