The Big Finale

So this is it. The final blog. What to write about?...I suppose I could just write about my Film Analysis, considering that is where the majority of my focus has been lately.
For my Cultural Film Analysis, I am writing about the movie Into the Wild. The movie is about Christopher McCandles, a college graduate who, in the early 1990s, abandoned his old life in favor of the Alaskan wilderness. Chris, later renaming himself Alexander Supertramp, took off, burning his cash, his social security card, and dumping his car. Along his 2 year journey to Alaska, Alex encountered many different people across America. Jan and Rainey, a hippie couple, invite Alex to stay with them for a while. They all become very close and Alex ends up saving their relationship. Alex also encounters Ron, an ex army man who, still mourning the death of his family, has become couped up and full of fear. The two bond tremendously and they both teach each other about life and facing inner demons. Alex survives in the wilderness for a good while. Ultimately, he begins to starve and turns to plants for nutrition. He accidentally ingests a poisonous plant and ends up dying. Although tragic, the story makes you want to get away from society and be one with nature. The film makes me look at life in a whole new way. I can relate to Christopher Alex Supertramp McCandles. We both have had struggles with our family and our place in society.
I hope to really kick ass on this paper. I absolutely adore this movie and am VERY passionate about the topic of self-discovery and true happiness, which are the bases of my paper. I really want to end the semester with a bang. Hoepfully I'll get an A on this paper. I plan on working super fuckin hard on it! =D
