I loved how he kept spouting on about how all u should trust is nature and not "things", but kept having to rely on the modern day world for items, money, comfort, and transportation. ..even the "Magic bus". I found it funny that he went into the WILD, yet clinged to the one modern day thing out there. The main characters performance was jaw dropping, The supporting cast all did a wonderful job, the music was GREAT, ect, ect, ect, but what it comes down to was that i really didnt feel that sorry for "Supertramp" by movies end. The flashback of all he had passed by at the end just kind of drove that point home. Im still giving the movie a 7/10 for everything it got right. Like i said, the supporting cast all ruled the world, the music was great, and the camera work was pretty spiffy as well. I dont hate the movie, its just a shame i hated the main character. he was an idiot. I'm not sure we're meant to feel sorry for Alex. I, for one, felt sorry for everyone whose life he touched. To deliver such an impact, then simply pick up and walk away before allowing yourself to become attached as well, is cruel. I didn't like the main character, either. |
