I don't do reviews per se, but I highly recommend watching this film on Netflix if you haven't seen it already. A bit dark, but lots more light.

Not my cup of tea, an Emery graduate and athlete that chucks it all to go starve in the wilderness due to his life decisions.I don't do reviews per se, but I highly recommend watching this film on Netflix if you haven't seen it already. A bit dark, but lots more light.

Wasn't trying to. Actually didn't remember if he was the starved guy or the guy that lived among the bears, until they got hungry. People not from Alaska do weird crap in Alaska, often coming to a bad end.

Those things irritate me as the sad examples of seemingly normal people, screwing up their life with tragic stupid decisions and plans.
Well it was really the flood that led to what happened. My uncle was stationed in Alaska in the AF and got himself in a situation in which he got cut off from getting back from a solo hunting trip by a flood like that.

That was a really, really good movie...
Exactly. I saw the movie and thought it sucked. Stupid guy had every chance to live happily and threw it all away. Moron. Stupid. Idiot. Hated the movie. HATED it.

The movie is good.
What happens is incredibly tragic. But the movie is good.
A silver spoon kid who thinks the world is his oyster... finds out... it very much doesn't work that way.
It reminds me of a scene in Platoon... where the rich boy tells the other soldiers he is with - "I figured if other people had to go, I should have to go to, it isn't fair so I volunteered"... to which the poor kid who was drafted said - "damn, you gotta be rich to think like that!"

Not a good movie. The book is great, though.
