forget…it’s a film to record and I recommend that you see it too. “Into the wild” We become emotional when we see this film because it makes us think and reflect that we have such a short life that money, material things and stupid arguments don’t have the right to stand in the way of our happiness;
It makes me think, too, that I’ve to do
what I like because I have to enjoy my life with the things that I love and adore. Christopher McCandless When Christopher McCandless makes his happiness ideal come true, in Alaska, and when he is preparing for his last moment in life he said:
“I have had a happy life and thank the lord. Goodbye
and may god bless you all”

Free…unique…truthful…and so, he ends in peace! Christopher McCandless Why is he a reference to me?
Christopher McCandless is, and will always be a
reference to me; he is a very inspiring person to me…He fought for his dream. He went to Alaska where he died on 18 August 1992.
