I am SUPERTRAMP

There is this amazing movie called “INTO THE WILD” which must be made a mandatory watch for everybody.

“The core of mans’ spirit comes from new experiences”

How many of us want to be adventurous in life? Go on an endless holiday to historical sites, trek, raft in the wild waters, climb the Everest, see the Pyramids in Egypt, swim with the whales – see the world? This movie is a real life story of a guy who actually does that! The way he treats people, money, career is so natural … story of an absolute straightforward guy who goes holidaying to Alaska. Its a huge relief from the hypocrisy all around of us where we “try to be good people, in a society where we must help each other”.

This movie has inspired me to go on a wild trip to Kerala(India) and it was absolutely amazing. One feels so close to oneself in such things.

It is a pity that this movie did not get any Oscars, the acting was top notch, the music & most importantly the story and silly Slumdog got so many. Give it a watch or probably two. Its worth it. The movie has some real great dialogs, which are my fav . So, here is a collection of some of the best quotes from it:

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; / There is a rapture on the lonely shore; / There is society, where none intrudes, / By the deep sea, and music in its roar; / I love not man the less, but Nature more… /

It should not be denied that being footloose has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppression and law and irksome obligations. Absolute freedom. And the road has always led west.

Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, ’cause “the West is the best.” And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. – Alexander Supertramp May 1992
