這幾年最愛的電影/小說
印象中 好像是第一次會有看完電影都知道劇情了 還有衝動去買小說看
還很勇敢的去看英文版... 這樣應該真的算很愛很愛了吧?先說敗筆 小說結尾之前有一段作者自己的故事
那讓我看點有小小沒勁 加上已經知道結局了
所以竟然等了將近一年才把尾巴剩下的幾十頁看完有點可惜 因為已經隔差不多一年了 很多當下的感動都忘光光了
不過 要把一些基本上對於這個故事的想法講出來還是不難的第一個直覺想到的 社會對他的批判是有多麼的殘酷暴力
去大陸豆瓣網逛過一下 得分最高的一篇評語就是在罵主角
...然後第二高分的是在幫主角辯護 :P我相信大多數人都對生活有點疑問 也有點意見
但是真 ... (continue)Eddy Yau said on Jan 29, 2012 | Add your feedback

un inno alla vita
Vorrei ripeterti di nuovo il consiglio che gia' ti diedi in passato, ovvero che secondo me dovresti apportare un radicale cambiamento al tuo stile di vita, cominciando con cominciare a fare cose che mai avresti pensato di fare e che mai hai osato. C'e tanta gente infelice che tuttacia non prende l'i ... (continue)

Chris McCandless, also known as Alex Supertramp, graduated from college, and refused a new car from his parents because he didn't care about "things". This was the start of an incredible journey for him that is documented in the book, "Into the Wild".
Some of his influences include Henry Thoreau an ... (continue)Anthea said on Jun 5, 2011 about the Audio CD edition | 3 feedbacks

...I'd like to repeat the advice I gave you before, in that I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thougth of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditionated to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one piece of mind, but in really nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of file comes from encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have and endlessy changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose you inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning ad its incredible beauty. And so, Ron, in short, get out of Salton city and hit the road. I guarantee you will be very glad if you did. But I fear that you will ignore my advice. You think I am stubborn, but you are even more stubborn than me. You had a wonderful chance on your drive back one of the greatest sights on earth, the Grand Canyon, something every american should see at least once in his life. But for some reason incomprehensible to me you wanted nothing but to bolt for home as quickly as possible, right back to the same situation which you see day after day after day. I fear you will follow this same inclination in the future and thus fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover. Dont' settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time, Ron, and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience.
You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.
My point is that you dont need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances.
Ron, I really hope that as soon as you can you will get out of Salton City, put a little camper on the back of your pickup, and start seeing some of the great work that God has done here in the American West. You will see thing and meet people and there is much to learn from them. And you must do it economical style, no motels, do your own cooking, as a general rule spend as a little as possible and you will enjoy it much more immensely. I hope that the next time I see you, you will be a new man with a vast array of new adventures and experiences behind you. Don't hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. Just get out and do it. Just get out and do it. You will be very, very glad that you did it.
Alex McCandless
