Meet My Favorite Actor My favorite actor in “Into the Wild” is Emile Hirsch, who plays Chris Mccandless. Emile Hirsch was born on March 13, He lives alone in Venice, Italy where he writes plays and poetry. Emile was born to Margaret Davenport and David Hirsch in Topanga, California. The First movie Hirsch starred in was “The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys”.

Into the Wild Review Into the Wild was a great movie that well deserves an oscar. Into the Wild is about a young Chris McCandless (Emile Hirsch) that looks to find a new meaning in life. Upset with pressure from his parents and the constant screaming back and forth between them. McCandless abandons his car on a beach, burns all the cash in his wallet and hitchhikes his way deep into Alaska wood. There with only a.22 rifle and boots and a jacket McCandless survives in the wild for over a year by living in a sanctuary built for hunters called, the magic bus. This movie not only takes place in the wilderness, but with Chris McCandless venturing through the country learning from and about all sorts of people and their way of life. The movie is a man’s journey and rite of passage.

A “Must See” Movie Into the Wild is what I would describe as a life changing movie. The way Chris McCandless holds his values will most certainly change yours positively. Into the Wild is artistic, well-made, and wildly entertaining. This movie is worthy of an academy award because of the elaborate story it tells.
