Doesn't matter how smart or foolish you think he was, we all die at some point. But his life has brought inspiration and peace of mind to a lot of people. How many of us can say that about our life? Has to be worth something :)
This movie motivated me to quit my job and backpack in South America for 18 months. It was by far the best experience of my life, the feeling of doing what you feel in every moment is amazing. It's just freedom
“Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. --Alexander Supertramp, May 1992”

Happiness is only real when shared
One of the best soundtracks of all time...thanks Eddie.
whenever i'm seeking hope or some inspiration i watch this movie and usually cry like a baby. i learn something new and brilliant everytime i watch it.
Vedder connects with this movie and the story so well. He makes you feel reborn and powerful with this
This song makes me feel alive!
This movie changed my life. I've been travelling 4 years. hitch hiked all across Australia and America. Just bought a Mandolin and i'll learn this song :)
When i was a kid and watched this film for the first time, i immediately wanted to do a journey like Chris's. Now I'm an adult, and my heart is still longing for the same.
Thank you Emile Hirsch, for your authentic acting... thank you Eddie for the wonderful Music and Alexander Supertramp - Rest in peace.....
Such is the way of the world You can never know Just where to put all your faith And how will it grow? Gonna rise up Burning black holes in dark memories Gonna rise up Turning mistakes into gold... Such is the passage of time Too fast to fold Suddenly swallowed by signs Lo and behold Gonna rise up Find my direction magnetically Gonna rise up Throw down my ace in the hole
Just amazing ! The best movie I´ve ever seen
Despite Chris being before my time, he still has a great impact on how I see the world. I need to see the world the way he did.
You know..it's true. "Happiness only real when shared". That's what we all strive for, beneath the surface. That's the answer we'll get if we ask not all the right questions, but all questions we need to ask, bringing us to where we need to be.
MY HERO, MY INSPIRATION, THE BEST LIFE!!!! JUST PERFECT!!!!
I almost choked up when I saw Chris look at the caribou while crying
This movie is the one that had the greatest impact on me in the last 10 years. This song is simply touching.
