Into the Wild

The Park Ranger's uniform in the Grand Canyon kayak scene is incorrect.

The uniform colors of green and gray are for a National Park Service ranger.

The patch on his arm appears to be for the National Park Service, but is the incorrect patch for the service.

Also the badge he wears is the badge of the U.

Forest Service.

When Christopher kayaks under the railroad bridge, BNSF engines are pulling the train.

BNSF did not exist until the merger of Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroads in 1995.

When Chris is working at Burger King, the logo for the restaurant is a design that did not appear until 1999.

During one of the scenes where Christopher is living near the Salton Sea and training, a portion of a bounce-board reflector can clearly be seen in the reflection of one of the windows of Hal Holbrook's vehicle, as Hal watches him from below.

The Oxfam logo, seen when Christopher donates the money from his college fund in 1990, is the current one, which was introduced during the 2000s.

In the night scene, with the Las Vegas strip in the background, the Stratosphere Tower can be seen on the right side of the screen.

The scene takes place in the early 1990s; the Stratosphere was completed in 1996.

When Chris comes into the trailer to see Tracy, he takes the towel down from around his neck.

In the next shot from behind the towel is still around his neck.

Multiple vehicles in the highway and city scenes were models that were unavailable in the early '90's.

When Alex is walking around at night after visiting the shelter, a parking meter briefly flashes a red light, indicating that time has run out.

These types of meters did not exist in 1991.

When Braves fans come into the place where he and his family are celebrating his graduation, they cheer about the tomahawk chop.

Braves fans did not start doing the tomahawk chop until 1991.

Chris graduated in 1990.

When Chris is viewing the buildings of downtown L.

, a Union Bank of California building is shown.

Union Bank of California was formed in 1996, while the film depicts events from 1992.

When Chris catches a ride with a trucker, a yellow sticker in the windshield bearing the number "6" is visible.

This is a CVSA inspection sticker that indicates the truck passed a safety inspection in 2006.

When Christopher is walking in downtown Los Angeles, a UPS delivery truck passes directly behind him labeled "ups.

Com", an inappropriate internet reference for 1992.

In Los Angeles, Christopher walks by Pete's Cafe and Bar.

He watches people celebrating inside.

Pete's Cafe and Bar did not open until 2006.

(at around 1h 02 mins) When Chris is paddling in the river, you can clearly see a trail in front of him, which is caused by the camera crew's boat.

In the graduation scene at Emory, a female graduate is moving through a row of graduates to take her seat.

In her hand is a small silver cell phone.

In the row in front of her was another female graduate talking on a small cell phone.

This technology was not available in 1990.

In the desert when Ron drops Chris off at his camp, Chris hops up onto the hood of Ron's truck.

This happens almost immediately after they pull up.

Chris should have burned his hands and legs on the hot metal of the hood of the truck, as the engine beneath would still be hot.

While Chris is learning how to run a combine, he is harvesting wheat.

In a subsequent shot, the combine is being unloaded of corn.

During the graduation scene, there is a brief shot of an Emory official straightening the black tassels on a couple of graduates' mortarboards.

The rotating Palm Springs Aerial Tram car, seen when Christopher and Ron Franz went up San Jacinto mountain, is the current one, which was introduced in September 2000.

In the Atlanta scenes, the Bank of America Plaza tower can be seen in the skyline.

Construction on this building didn't begin until 1991 and it was not completed until 1992, but these scenes took place in 1990.

Carine describes that she knew what Chris was doing by getting away after spending four years in college.

However, the regalia Chris was wearing at the graduation ceremony is that of someone receiving a master's degree, which would normally require at least another year of coursework.

A movie about a hopelessly naive, snobby, privileged, rich white kid with first world problems and zero responsibilities, who can't deal with growing up meanwhile magically changes the lives of everyone he leaves for the good by just being his wonderful self. Angry adolescent gets a stupid idea, leaves his sheltered life to go on a survival trip untrained and unprepared and gets himself killed.

INTO THE WILD isn't about another rich kid who wants to change the world. It's about life experiences, who you are, where you came from and how your past will influence your future.

One of the best movie i've ever seen.

I have not read the book so this is the first impression of the story through the movie. I recognize in Penn a director who continues to mature, grown and learn his craft.

A very well done movie that explores the short life of a rather disturbed young man who cuts all ties to society and becomes a vagabond and eventually journeys to Alaska where he is overwhelmed by the harsh terrain and starves to death in the wilderness.The movie - to some extent - allows one to make up ones on mind about his motivations.

Every human somewhere in their life (better to say often in their life) finds it hard to know the purpose of life. That's because they face situations which they are not comfortable with.

Into the Wild could be called Into the Human Soul, it is a movie about a graduate young man and his transition to the real life, but in his own way to live. He felt society to find himself, this journey begin with a simple propose: no goals, just to live.

So glad to see how others have reviewed this film. never bother reviewing but this film is so cheesy it needed to be done.

This film is slow and a bit arty - the dialogue is often broken by extended scenes of clouds and sunsets. The main character is a bit of an ass.
