Movie Quotations (choice # 8)


"Happiness only real when shared."

This quote was actually written in a book by Chris McCandless.

I like it because I find it to be very true - it is hard to be happy about something if there is no one to share your hapiness with. I think that when Chris wrote this he was starting to feel very lonely. He probably found his victories over killing animals for food not that great after he had no one to share the hapiness with.

"Society, man! You know, society! Cause, you know what I don't understand? I don't understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other so fucking often. It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole spectrum. Well, it just... "

I think this quote is memorable from the movie because it's where Chris Shares his opinions on society. In the movie it seemed like society was the main reasons for Chris's journey. McCandless seemed very unhappy with the way things worked and doing what people wanted him to do. He had vary strong opinions on how he didn't want to follow the path that society would lead him to, this is mainly why he chose to live in the wild.

" Two weeks after Chris's death, moose hunters discovered his body in the bus"

This quote was found in the last tittle cards, is memorable because of the irony. Chris spent a long time in the wild and no one was ever around. He recorded nothing about ever seeing another human while at the site of the 'magic bus'. It's a little dissapointing that if the hunters would have came a bit earlier they may have been able to save Chris from his starvation and he would have been alive still today.
