If it all makes sense, you’re the furthest fucking gone.

Into the Wild - 8.5/10. Guy goes into the wilderness for two years. Says to Thoreau: Well, sort of. Flawed, but great in spite of its flaws. Some poor editing/directing choices, but some great choices as far as its purposeful meandering. Guy comes in and out of others lives, changing theirs' and adamantly refusing to listen to what any of them have to offer in return until he finally and desperately learns it for himself.

couldn't agree more on the poor editing and direction choices. Sean Penn still has a ways to go as a director. Interesting story though. I really hated the floating text on the screen towards the beginning.
