Into the Wild

[Drunk Monk]

In the film, it was all about eating some stupid berries. He freaks out because he can't find anything to eat. He shoots his ammunition 'into the wild' at random screaming 'I'm hungry!' Then he decides to read his book on edible plants. Then he gets sick and re-reads the book to find that in the fine print in this book on edible plants, it says that this certain plant with horizontally striped berries will shut down the digestive system and cause you to starve to death, no matter how much you eat. You'd think that would be in bolder print. Or you'd think he'd at least read it a little more. Sure enough, he examines his baggy and the berries look just like the lethal ones. The ending was rather contrived and you wind up feeling short sheeted. But then they showed a pic of the real dude, sitting in front of the real 'magic bus' looking all happy. It was allegedly one of the last undeveloped pics in his camera. So that redeemed it a little.

In retrospect, the best parts of the film were the scenery, William Hurt, and Kristen Stewart (although her character was completely unbelievable).
