into the wild.

yesterday i saw this very touching movie. i cried many times, of sadness, of happiness, of hope (not to be a blind prick drifiting away in this society).

the day before i had seen The Expendables, what a load of crap. The funny thing was to see all these famous action and bullet actors together on the same shot. Well and that's about what there is to tell about it.

The film i saw yesterday was one of those enlightening ones. The ones that give you the opportunity to think and allow you to do so during the movie.
important to say: i normally fall asleep during a movie when i watch it on my sofa. well, yesterday i certainly didn't, but summerged myself into an inner travel. extatic.
the movie is about a fresh college graduated son of a rather wealthy family. as soon as he graudates, he gets rid of all his material posessions and money and starts an adventurous journey of physical and inner knowledge.
he is fed up of being surrounded by "things, things, things and more things" and decides to live in freedom.
it is ery touching as it referres to something many of us dream about, but are never brave enough to do, and probably never will. nevertheless it is a true inspiration and shakes us up to remind us about the true beauties of life, where to find happiness and what love is. it is based on a real story.
the movie is not an enlightment, most of the things said and referred to are already known, but, living in our society sometimes makes us forget a bit about the real important things in life and how to enjoy them.

at some point (dont want to spoil the movie, ill try to be careful), the main character writes:
"Happiness is only true when shared".
Obviously, we don't have to agree with all the statements there are.
Myself, i dont really agree with this last one, even though it sounds wonderfully romantic.
my happiest moments ever where in myself. i think it was something like what Japanese people call satori.
Once it was when going up the mountains in the Alps to go to work to a mountain hut. I was on my own, it was early morning and no turist where on the path yet. There is a moment when you can see the upper tonge of the glacier when you turn by a rock. that moment was amazing. still, now, when i remember it i want to cry. it was truly overwhelming, and my senses for some reasons where so awake that they could get the true essence of that magical beauty. it doesnt always happen. sometimes i see beauty and that is it, it doesnt move me so much. but there it is, i truly think it is about practicing being awake. and at the end of the day, this is love. we defenetely need to love more, and love consciously. everything.

so what i most liked about the movie, apart of the fantastic cast and wonderful work of Sean Penn as a director, was the photography. the soundtrack was nice as well, even though im not a kind of person who likes soundtracks done only by nearly one person (Amelie is an exception). What truly mattered about this movie is what happens far away from the screen. it's what happens in ourselves, while and after watching it.

i truly recommend it. enjoy!

and with some cinematographic kisses, and obviusly lots of love... till next time!
