Hugely underrated actor AND film. This is by far one of the most beautiful films I've seen. It's hard but it was refreshing to not only see a movie that has no cgi, or gimmicks, it was all from the heart, and about something we all crave "freedom". Sean Penn was perfect to direct this, the side characters were all effective, and Emile Hirsch no doubt gave his character justice. I honestly can't think of anyone I would have rather seen play him because he was just phenomenal. Made me forever a fan of his work. This film and story makes me feel more spiritual. I want to eventually buy "Back to the Wild", the book that features all his writings, story, and photos he took along the way. The cover and back of the book itself is worth buying. Just looks so authentic and beautiful. I feel the 90's was the last decade of true explorers. No internet, minimal technology (though useful), and no distractions unlike today's society who is addicted to entertainment, and anything technology related. Nowadays people stand in line for hours (even days) for a new iPhone...Chris would have shook his head, or chose to NOT even know about it buy shutting out society, as he said "people are so bad to eachother" He would be ashamed at the violence, and hypnosis we are under everyday. I wouldn't be surprised if he saw what today's society looks like...he would have chosen his death on that bus anyday.

My favorite movie of all time. The most beautiful movie I have ever seen.

this film made me laugh, cry, think about life. what i have learnt from this movie is that no matter how scary your dreams are, chase after them. take big risks, don't just sit around and waste life away, go out and experience life. it also made me realize i need to stop pushing people away and saying i like being alone. when he died alone at the end of the film after realizing that people do make a difference in your life and that you do need them, i couldn't stop crying. nobody should ever die alone. i wish the people who had discovered his dead body had found him sooner. it's not fair to know he never saw his sister again or fell in love or had a kid

He sounds like young leonardo dicaprio

This movie is stupidly stupidly beautiful. It was way beyond beautiful. The story, the actual story it is amazing itself. But such a good performances, such a good cast, soundtrack on point and the pictures and cinematography couldn't have been better. It just such a magnificent. How the hell did not win an oscar? And with Emile's performance too. Omg. So underrated tho, and i have no idea why.

this movie changed my life

I'm sorry but my man should've got more recognition for this role. Still my favorite actor

'Happiness only real when shared'

still shocked that The Academy didnt even nominate this film for Best Picture!!

It's so wonderful to see that this wasn't one of those situations where the actor knows nothing about who they're playing, I love how absolutely humble and respectful Emile is about McCandless and his family and that he did as much as he could to portray him accurately and respectfully . He did a fantastic job portraying him, I was so happy to see that they chose him to play Chris. I just gained so much respect for Emile, wonderful guy.

Emile is a hugely underrated actor. He was fantastic in this film!

Christopher Mccandless was a great man, who knew what he wanted, difference is, he had the guts to do it, his spirit now flies along with Dick Proenneke in the Alaskan Wilderness, Legend,

His face is à mix between leonardo and jack black

Between Into the wild and also Lone Survivor Emile Hursch is definitely an unappreciated actor. Big respect.

I know, So many people see this film as stupid and weird but I don't cry at films but this film made me cry. And his adventure was amazing.

This movie made me cry. I am from Alaska and I had to leave so seeing such familiar areas makes me tear up. My father saw this bus when he was hitchhiking through AK when he was 18

Oof. You could feel the emotion right before he said he felt like the watch kept him safe

Great Movie. 🎥 Great Book. 📖 Great Actor. 🎭 Great Director. 🎬

Amazing film! So humbling.. never cried like that in a long time!

I'm very impressed that Emile Hirsch has such insight and pays so much attention to the character he had learnt and interpreted as the quintessential Chris McCandless. No glorification should be made of him, but then, without it, maybe I would have never hatched my plan to do the same thing as Chris...

I respect Emile Hirsch so much after watching this.

this movie definitely changed my life. it's not for everyone, but you'll definitely appreciate the story behind it.

One of the greatest movies ever made! Hands down a masterpiece.

I love his voice 😍 And that unbuttoned look...

More people should see this movie, absolutely incredible and life changing.

Favorite movie. Reading the book now.

i really admire Emile for being so humble and respectful in the honour for Christopher McCandless, its' so refreshing to see such a life changing film about a man who wanted freedom from this sick world that we live in today and how he had the bravery to do the things only we ever wish to do, paving the way for people to actually look at life's unneeded materialistic things and really ask the question ' Why do we need all this?'. When really all we need is happiness.

Happy 30th Birthday Emile Hirsch!

emile hirsch is lovely

One of my Favorite movie & Actor amazing Emile Pitch Perfect for this Role

Emile hirsch ❤️

I love Into The Wild and also Emile Hirsch. He's so pretty :')

It’s weird how much I relate to this guy between his performance in this and Girl Next Door. Two of my favorite 2000s films.

Such a good movie but the ending was so graphic and Emile did such a good job it just felt like a waste of life when Chris died

I just finished the book and am eager to watch this movie. Thank you everyone for your heartfelt comments.

My life best movie....just love every speach of this movie..

This movie is perfect, and he nailed the role. God I wish I could have been part of Alex's adventure

he is a great actor! love the movie

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it sooooooo much and Love Emile Hirsch!! AMAZING!!!!! wow!!! Everyone needs to see this movie!!!! You can thank me later xx

The only two guys who could pull this role of so good, is of course Emile Hirsch and Leonardo Di Caprio.

Into the wild!!! Probably #1 on my lists of favorites the book & movie, is a deeply moving story about a young man journeys and experiences. I would also suggest "Alone in the Wilderness " great documentary and book. About a man named Dick" Proenneke (May 4, 1916 - April 20, 2003) he live in the wilderness of Alaska and built his own cabin very impressive person with skills.

Truly amazing!!. Just loved it and I loved the book just as much if not more.

My all time favorite movie

He's so amazing...

Emile is so hot!!!!!

He kind of reminds me of Leo

Emile is such a great actor

What a LEGEND!!!!

only human livestock watch this film and think its crap, conditioned slaves who think living in a concrete prison is freedom. this film is great with an amazing soundtrack.

he's an amazing actor he's great in any movie he does. :-D

this is great. really ganna help me with my essay. im so uplifted and just wowed by this novel and movie, and chris mccandless. idk where to begin. i think this guy really did a great job playing such a character.

I know, he reminds me alot of Him

I just saw the movie few days ago nd i m ur fan now

This movie is incredible!

I just finished reading the book, and was blown away by Chris, his story was life changing. The movie is just as good as the book. I highly recommend.

If Leo and Emile weren’t born at similar times, Emile would have been a HUGE star..... Very similar in terms of looks and voice and talent..... Leo still doing stunning work, whilst Emile is having cameos in low budget Netflix Originals opposite Mr Leto... Such a shame, but at least he gave cinema this great gift

great actor

he changed a lot since the movie girl next door

I loved his performance in this movie, though.

Best movie ever❤

He sounds so smart

Great job Emile

Love of my life.

Hermoso🥰🥰🥰

Wow, he is a very good actor. His body language and voice is completely different from the characters that he plays.

If I could pick one actor to meet it would be Emile 💚🥀😎

💚 INTO the WILD 💚

absolutely :)

Always thought Emile Hirsch was underrated. That film broke so many boundaries inside me, how to live life & everything. It's really a shame we don't have any movie industry people wanna do those types of films more. I mean there is maybe 5/6 movies like this one compares to the 100ds & 100ds of bullshit CGI & trash movie. I don't mean that every movie made should have this type of intense realism & true life experiences & everything but the ratio from this type of film & the rest is 1 to 1 000 000, its ridiculous.

this and alpha dog are the best movies hes been in

oh right :)

I fucking love that guy :)

I've Seen 258 Movie And I'm Not Overreacting I Have The Number On My IMDB Account But Never Seen A Movie Like This Before... I Watch Movie On My Phone And I'm Happy With It Yes 258 Movie And 10 TV Shows Included (Supernatural) All Seasons One By One

I can say that , he died as an enlightened soul

What is the brand of the gold watch

Lol, chill man, no need to get so defensive. Also, I live in America, and I've never met anyone who dislikes my accent.

I heard that they removed his house from the wild with an army helcopitor

Emile Hirsch is a amazing actor and to me seems he is under rated which sucks

3:56 -3:58 ❤

I know him. He's Speed Racer. 😎

I love you ❤💞

i want him.

I love this story, and the movie was a masterpiece... the portrait of the "snobby" kid is not the point of his leaving... it was finding freedom and existence through simple elements of Earth; that was the beauty of it. It was like; " take -how - much you need"- system and well yeah. 11 y been now no :3

he played kevin the guy who taught him how to hunt and handle the meat etc.

Hi guys I’m Emlie hirsch

you know

matthew kidman

@10ENOC exactly my thoughts:D

What a great movie, but can someone tell when Zach Galifianakis is in the movie, I don't remember seeing him

He kinda looks like leonardo dicaprio and harry style with tom holland touch up 🧐🧐

awkward question at the end....

Tell us how did this movie change your life ?

He was great in The Mudge boy. He blew that bully Perry like a champ!

He said phone boob lol instead of phone book

I think the word for that is "articulate."

Is it just me or he sounds very much like Leonardo DiCaprio

He’s slowly turning into Jack black

Society!!!

does he say "I don't think I gave him a phone book to sit under"? I don't get that expression, can a native speaker of English help me here! Thanks!

Hirsch was born to play McCandless
