"I'm Supertramp"

A slight departure from normal posts on this blog, granted, but I saw this film and couldn't resist sharing it with you. It came through my letterbox a few weeks ago courtesy of lovefilm and since watching it I've tried to post it back to them a couple of times, however it still resides on my desk waiting to be watched again (and again..). I'm a stickler for films that you need to psych yourself up for and Into the Wild doesn't disappoint in this respect. Here's a quote that will hopefully raise a few eyebrows:

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
